My gosh, I wish I had listened to this story a couple years ago. It is as if she has talked about the things I have experienced but never got past. Thank you SOOOO much for this episode. I needed this to move forward. I am 74 years old and in a small town and just was ready to quit, but you have inspired me to seek out and build my own "tribe" as you call it. Maybe there is hope!!
