A Heartfelt Quest for Balance in the Wake of Life's Storms - Episode 101

Lift OneSelf -Podcast

When life handed Kathleen Donnelly Israel a bouquet woven with love's vibrancy and loss's shadows, she embraced it with a faith that shines through our latest conversation on the Lift One Self podcast. This remarkable transformational breathing facilitator and author guides us through her powerful story of devotion as she recounts the journey alongside her late husband Ron during his battle with Parkinson's disease. With each breath, Kathleen's narrative unfolds, revealing the essence of resilience and the beauty of choosing love as a conscious decision, even in the wake of profound challenges. Her insights into the transformative potential of self-awareness and breathwork serve as a beacon for anyone navigating the stormy waters of trauma and caregiving.
As Kathleen opens her heart, I intertwine my tale of rediscovery, from sidelining a passion for fashion design to flourishing in the world of graphic design, only to have the embers of my first love rekindled later in life. Our stories merge, painting a portrait of the intricate dance between pursuing our ambitions and fostering a spectrum of interests. We unravel the complex threads of the nervous system, discussing its tendency to prioritize safety over authenticity and the emotional depth of caring for a loved one with a degenerative illness. Our episode is a heartfelt exploration of healing, acceptance, and the unwavering pursuit of balance and inner peace. Join us as we share these profound journeys, offering both solace and inspiration to those seeking to embrace life's unpredictable paths.
