EP 14 - Adversity, Racism & Mother-Daughter Conflict: Primary Lessons with Sarah White (Part 2)

In episode 13, we started our conversation with Sarah Bracey White, an amazing woman whose creative life expanded exponentially at the age of 75 years old. Over the last three years, Sarah has become a celebrated author of books, poems, and recorded stories. She's written and produced plays. She's acted on stage in an immersive theater production based on her memoir — a show that was produced and staged by Hollywood professionals who worked with The Who and contributed to prime time television shows and the Olympics. Now 78, Sarah continues to write, speak, and educate others on the value of sharing our stories and connecting with each other to heal and grow. In this episode — part 2 of our inspiring conversation — Sarah and I talk about what to do when your mother can't be the kind of mother you need, the importance of connecting with each other to transcend life's challenges, looking past your past to live in the present, and why the fearless pursuit of the things that make you happy is the key to fulfillment and success at every age. NOTE: Be sure to listen to Part 1 of this conversation (Episode 13) to hear about Sarah's challenging childhood, from growing up in the Jim Crow South to the conflicted relationship she shared with a mother who habitually tried to curb her inquisitive independent nature. You'll also learn how writing her book, Primary Lessons, taught Sarah that her mother may not have been the kind of mother she wanted, but she was the kind of mother she needed.
