In this heartfelt episode of Write Your Own Story, Betsy sits down with author and artist Jaime Townzen for a powerful conversation on grief, motherhood, and rediscovering yourself after unimaginable loss.

Together, they explore:

🌿 The invisible weight women carry when they put everyone else first
 🌿 How creativity became Jaime’s path to healing after losing eight loved ones in six years
 🌿 The radical act of choosing yourself—especially when life feels impossibly heavy
 🌿 How honoring your voice helps you show up more fully for your family
 🌿 The quiet strength it takes to begin again

Jaime opens up about walking through seasons of survival and how something as simple as watercolor painting led her back to joy, purpose, and her own dreams. If you’ve ever felt lost, stuck, or like your story was no longer your own, this episode will remind you: it’s never too late to turn the page.

✨ You are not alone. You are more than enough. And your story matters. ✨
