EP29 - A New Start - Part 1

Welcome to Milkweed and Monarchs! I'm Dawn Klem, and today, I’m sharing the story of how I met my husband—from my perspective. Next time, you’ll hear the story from his point of view. But before we get to that moment, I want to take you back to my early days in Portland, Maine. It was a time of transition, self-discovery, and new beginnings. After moving into my own apartment, I found myself truly living alone for the first time—learning who I was outside of the military, outside of marriage, and outside of everything I had known before. From long walks along the Eastern Promenade to unexpected adventures—like signing up for acting lessons—I embraced the chance to explore new possibilities. And little did I know, one decision would lead me straight to the person who would change my life forever. So join me as I reflect on those pivotal moments, the lessons learned, and the journey that brought me to where I am today.
