Description

In the very first episode of Origin Stories, I sit down with my mom, Sheree Bennett, to trace the incredible story of her resilience. Her journey shows what it takes to navigate the demands of higher education, a full-time career, and motherhood—often all at once. Like many of us, she faced moments of deep self-doubt, but she found the strength to keep pushing forward. This is a conversation about the courage to begin again whenever life requires it. We explore the profound impact a parent's involvement has on a child's school life and how self-belief is the only required currency for success. Tune in for an inspiring reminder that it is never too late to finish your story.
