Run Walk

A decade before the pandemic, in a period when terms like family caregiver, self-care and hybrid work schedules weren’t common, women compartmentalized their roles (good daughter, working mother, dutiful wife) and attempted to be all things to all people. Stifled by the stigma of being “uncommitted” associated with using FMLA, and sandwiched at work between boomers and millennials, and at home between caring for an elderly Father and her own family, author, Sarahbeth Persiani writes an intimate account of personal and professional personas unraveling.

"Crawl/Run/Walk" is a transformative guide through life's phases, each marked by its own challenges and triumphs. From the tentative steps of infancy to the bold strides of adulthood and the reflective pace of maturity, this book explores the evolving journey of self-discovery and growth. Through inspiring narratives, practical wisdom, and reflective exercises, listeners are encouraged to embrace change, live with purpose, and navigate life's twists and turns with grace and courage.

Mine has been a journey of close family ties, of spiritual and personal growth. I'd reshaped foolishness into discipline, developed character, found relationships, and made commitments. For the most part it had been an adventurous, swash-buckling path that unfolded before me. The best part is - I lived through it and can share the highlights with you. We corkscrewed downward as the nose snapped toward the earth below us and everything abruptly twisted 120 degrees to the left. If felt like we'd tumbled - my first helicopter flight.
