The Peace of Wellness podcast is doing something different for May’s episode. In a very special episode to celebrate Kirsten’s mother’s birthday (May 5) and Mother’s Day, Kirsten interviewed her mother, Julie, and the nearly 2-hour session will be released in 4 parts each Wednesday of this month.

A farmer’s daughter from a small town in the middle of Nebraska, Julie excelled in school, was a National Merit finalist, Senior Class President, sang and performed in school musicals (and much more!) and was pregnant and, thus, got married at 18. While college looked unlikely at one point, she was endorsed in Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics and went on to teach for 41 years. Over the 4 decades of teaching, countless former students and parents alike have shared stories about how significantly she impacted their lives. Enjoy hearing about Julie's tenacity, strength, perseverance, and humor!
