But the thing that really sort of turned things around was me realizing parts of my mother's story that I never knew about and realizing that there are many reasons for why she became addicted to drugs that I will never know about and that she probably hasn't even processed.
What happens when you blend a love for writing with the pragmatism of law? You get Jodi M. Savage, an attorney and writer from Brooklyn, New York, who brings her unique perspective to 'Showing Up With Asher Gottesman'. In this episode, Jodi opens up about her tumultuous journey, sharing stories that are both heart-wrenching and inspiring. Raised by her grandmother due to her mother's drug addiction, Jodi learned early on about resilience and the importance of boundaries.
She discusses how these early life lessons shaped her approach to relationships and self-care. But Jodi's story doesn't stop there. She also faced a breast cancer diagnosis at the same time her mother was battling the same illness. Through it all, Jodi talks about the power of empathy and understanding, particularly towards her mother. She emphasizes that forgiveness and setting boundaries are not mutually exclusive; you can love someone from a distance while still protecting your own well-being.
One of the most compelling parts of the conversation is Jodi's discussion on vulnerability. She shares how allowing others to support her during her cancer treatment was a transformative experience. For someone who had been abandoned as a child, learning to accept help was a monumental step in her journey towards self-love and acceptance. Jodi also touches on her professional life, balancing her roles as a writer and attorney.
She offers insights into how she navigates these demanding fields while staying true to herself. Her story serves as a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the importance of showing up for yourself, even when life gets tough. If you're looking for a story that combines resilience, empathy, and practical advice on setting boundaries, this episode is a must-listen. Jodi M.
Savage's journey is a powerful reminder that we can all overcome adversity and learn to show up in our own lives.
