    A Tale of Love

The pattern of fight, flight or freeze comes into play and deciding which of these to listen to is tremendous. Hearing the story of someone who has traveled the journey and faced these situations can support us and help us move forward and navigate the rocky path.  This episode is Part one of a two part series. Today we welcome special guest Freddi Kilburn, a former caregiver for her husband Dan. The story she will share is heartwarming, inspiring and raw. Hopefully, we will all learn from her experiences.
