What if I told you that a seemingly hopeless journey of addiction could transform into an inspiring story of recovery, redemption, and newfound hope? In this powerful episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jack Raymond, one of my favorite writers, as he opens up about his raw and unfiltered experiences with addiction, the passing of his father, and the importance of finding a higher power in his path to recovery.

Our conversation explores Jack's early encounters with addiction and the pivotal moments that led him to realize the need for change. We dive into the transformative power of attitude and how a shift in perspective can ultimately save your life. Jack shares his journey of self-discovery, the impact of his father's passing, and his latest book, The Kindred Project, which features stories of survival, addiction, and redemption, including a poem about my own journey.

Don't miss this incredible and inspiring conversation with Jay Raymond, whose words have touched the lives of millions. Together, we discuss the strength, resilience, and hope that can be found in even the darkest moments of our lives. Join us as we celebrate the power of believing in something bigger than ourselves, and how it's never too late to find your passion and purpose.

In this episode, I introduce you to one of my "pivot people."  I define a pivot person as someone who is undoubtedly there for you, no matter which way life pivots.  John Casuccio is one of these people for me.  John was my general manager when I worked for a corporate relocation company and he was my manager when I had to quit working because of my heart issues.  

A professional relationship that grew into a father / daughter relationship - filled with laughter, love and respect.  I'm so happy to share this conversation with you!

...I'm sharing my adoption story.  I was born in 1983 in Seoul South Korea - I was adopted in 1984 and lived in the United States ever since.  Because it's AAPI month and because I believe sharing personal experiences is important - in this episode, I share my story as a Korean American woman.
