As well what it took to an actually make it here to Seattle. Next will be a day in immigration court..

On today's episode, I share how Yoga Church evolved into what it is today. This unique space is close to my heart because it’s given me the emotional support and space I needed to grow and grieve. It's helped me move through difficult experiences.

Yoga Church is a community created Terilyn Wilder, who I have interviewed previously on my podcast. It’s a one of a kind space, because she is one of a kind. It’s where I go to practice self care and devotion to my spirit. I can give support as well as have my emotional needs met when life serves up challenging moments. It's a weekly reminder for me to take care of myself and continue the practice of yoga.

I really got to know Terilyn this year at the yoga retreat she lead in Nicaragua. You learn a lot about someone when you do a little traveling together... but that will be our next episode.

Tough experiences can bring about the best changes. This was a tough podcast; I describe my relationship with the only parent I really knew. Yet I only knew her for the first 14 yrs of my life. The rest is what I experienced through the few interactions I had with her in the years that followed. Warning: this episode includes talk about child molestation, listener discretion is advised.
