The Path To Healing
Episode 9: Marjorie Turner Hollman on Easy Walks
Do you take taking a walk for granted? In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, listen in as Elizabeth Cush and author Marjorie Turner Hollman talk about walks and other miracles.
“If we choose not to slow down, our body is going to slow us down at some point.”
Show Notes:
What would you do if one day your world were suddenly turned upside down and you were unable to move through it the way you always used to, the way the people around you do? What if taking a walk, or hearing someone, or reaching something were suddenly much more difficult? Could you find the grace to go on? How do you live in a world that that’s not designed for people with challenges? In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman (previously Woman Worriers) podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., and a mid-life women’s life coach, welcomes Marjorie Turner Hollman, author of My Liturgy of Easy Walks: Finding the sacred in everyday (and some very strange) places, for an inspirational talk about navigating disruptive change, dealing with disability, and the power of learning to ask for help.
Listen and learn:
About forgiveness and finding peace in the wake of a sudden disability
The self-image that can keep us from asking for the help we need
The many ways that “casting a wide net” makes asking for help easier for everyone involved
Why receiving is as important as giving—and the bonds the exchange creates
Why making accommodations for people with disabilities isn’t different from the accommodations we already make for the able-bodied
What inspired Marjorie to begin writing—and how she asked for help
When “no pain, no gain” doesn’t work
