How Heidi Found Her Lemonade Stand


Listen Later

Her father's suicide when she was 16 plus her own suicidal thoughts led to her focusing on ways to turn lemons into lemonade. That's the story that Heidi Alldredge shares with us today. She is the host of the Heidi's Lemonade Stand podcast. This was a back-to-back experience for Walt and Heidi in that Walt joined Heidi on her show earlier today, and now Heidi joined Walt on this show. Heidi describes in tearful detail the experience of having police officers knock on her family's door when she was aged 16 to inform them that her father had taken her life. She had been contemplating suicide herself, and her father's act served as a wake-up call. She had been telling herself that the world would be a better place without her in it. Her father's suicide note expressed the exact same sentiment, and she was struck hard by the fact that it wasn't at all true.  Her world was worse off without her father in it, and that's what changed her perspective about her own life. We had so many similarities in common with our respective experiences, and it was really fun today to find all of the commonalities. But perhaps the best part for Walt was realizing that he has a new friend to appreciate in his life. So thank you, Heidi, for recovering your lemonade stand and serving your special blend of lemonade with the world!
