Going Back to Get Her.

Fourteen years after losing her son, Lisa looks back at the woman she was before everything changed. In the years since, she became an advocate, nonprofit founder, criminal justice reform leader, and the steward of a legacy built in her son’s name. But now she is asking a different question: what parts of herself did she set down while becoming the woman she needed to be? In this episode, Lisa reflects on identity, grief, reclamation, and the possibility of returning to old dreams without trying to return to an old life. What part of yourself did you set down when life required you to become someone else? And is there anything there you’re ready to go back and get?
