Episode 7 - Kaye Steinsapir Shares Her Personal Story

You may know me because we're friends. Or former colleagues. You may have stumbled upon my social media feed after we lost our 12-year-old daughter, Molly, in a tragic accident in 2021. Perhaps you just discovered this new podcast. No matter how we're connected or our level of familiarity, aspects of my story will surprise you. I feel like I've lived several lifetimes in my 48 years. In the immortal words of the Grateful Dead, what a long, strange trip it's been.I live in the present moment because the past is too painful and the future too uncertain. I've developed a sense of adventure as I ride the waves of life. I've stopped taking it all so seriously and resisting what's outside of my control.Please note that this episode contains descriptions of violence and abuse. It's important to remind the audience that these are my personal recollections. Others who were present for the events that I describe will undoubtedly remember them differently. Memories fade. What remains lodged in a person's mind is as unique as a fingerprint.I don't soften the hard edges of the truth, even when it hurts. My goal is transparency. Terrible things have happened to me, along with beautiful, awe-inspiring moments. It's all part of being alive. Thank you for witnessing my humanity, unfiltered.
