Imagine this: you're 11 years old and are digesting the words from your father that your mother has suddenly died from a stroke. Fast forward, 23 years and you're now 34 years old. The same age that your mother had a stroke. Your life comes to a halt. Just like your mother, you've had a stroke.

My podcast guest for this is Jennifer Chapman and this is the beginning of her story. I was not only struck by her story but how she quickly moved to a place beyond her grief and tackled the challenge of how she will move forward. Jennifer's story illustrates for us the all of that tackling big challenges even when we can't see where it will ultimately take us starts with taking action. And with action our next steps being visible.

Jennifer's story has application for all of us regardless of what our personal struggles and challenges are.

I’m kicking off the restart of the Rising Tide podcast with a special episode. No guests. Just me sharing the vision for Rising Tide. It’s big. It’s ambitious. It scares me a little. Enjoy 💛
