Nearest And Dearest Podcast - Bridging Family Dynamics

Julie Rogers

No one ever said life is easy. But I believe by giving yourself permission, you will find you have more control over your life than you realize. Hello, I'm Julie. I want to share with you, how my own personal life experiences led me to the person I am today. I have navigated through alcoholism, divorce, caregiving, blending families and discovering and owning my truth. You don't have to feel alone with your hardships. I believe in reaching out and showing true compassion and empathy from a non-judgmental approach. I'm a mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, friend and most recently, wife. I'm just like you, a real person who is doing the best she can. I hope you will join me by taking responsibility for yourself, by only controlling the things you can and letting go of the things you can't. By doing this, you will have discovered the secret to having happy, healthy and more fulfilling relationships. Please feel free to email me with any questions, comments or suggestions! I would like to give a shout out to Andreas Wohlfahrt, he is the photographer whose image I chose from Pexels, the photo of heart-shaped balloon, to be my podcast cover.
