An experience about of three super close friends who came together as supportive sports moms.  They where like sisters for years, until one's daughter had a destination wedding during the pandemic.  

TRIGGER WARNING: TOPICS OF SELF-HARM AND ABUSE DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE "The fact that she allowed me to "save her" was what I thought sealed the friendship, and I thought, you know,  was perfect cause I got to be the counselor that I probably needed at the time." She was coming off of a romantic breakup when they met.     They became fast friends who took a vow that they'd never get back together with their ex's.It was perfect, until it wasn't.  

A friendship of great passion with a spark that built to a blaze, and how she restored and regrew her heart from the embers.  Plus, her beautiful wishes for our culture when it comes to children coming out, showing up for mothers, how we view our artists, and death of things still alive in the world.  Topics include:  Challenges of motherhood, the love and honoring of nature, embracing the bittersweetness of loss.   

A close friendship of almost three decades.  How their intimacy grew during her dear friend's last year of life, and how she moves through the loss.  Cheryl's classes on the dead:   https://wayoftherose.org/take-back-the-magic-workshops-with-perdita-finn/
