My greatest achievement is being a mom of three daughters. They are each unique and gifted in their way, and my time and love for them and with them allows me to see them grow and evolve and they trust me for giving the space to be themselves.
Listen to Local Legends - Ep. 10 where two of my daughter join me in discussing what it was like having a mom who trained and the impact it had on their own lives.
