About this listen

MaryAnn Longwell had accrued a wealth of life experience when she made a career change in her early 50s. After years of teaching science and Spanish, she became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and counselor.

She talks about the shaping influences in her life: her early years growing up in a blue-collar family in Bethlehem, Penn., with Ellis Island immigrant grandparents; how John F. Kennedy inspired her as a young woman to serve in the Peace Corps in Belize; and about when she and her husband moved with their teenaged kids from rural Colorado to live in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

MaryAnn also talks about her belief in our birthrights to grow, heal and evolve. She shares how we can plant seeds of hope and light, even when life feels dark and uncertain.
