On People Who Shape Us, The Grafted Tree & Becoming What We Behold with Athena Ramsey

In this episode with my friend, Athena Ramsey, we reminisce on the early days of our friendship and the community that brought us together. She shares how her abuela, mother and a family she met while in university, impacted her life and inspired her to pay it forward to generations after her. Athena opens up about her journey into parenthood through adoption, and then healing her body from early menopause. She didn't expect to become a mother of four boys, but life rarely turns out how we expect and Athena speaks on the many ways her children open up her heart and capacity to dream. She continues to explore new parts of herself and resurrect old dreams; from writing to coaching basketball, Athena has never stopped building a life that is colorful. If you have mentors in your life who were pivotal in your journey, desire to become a parent someday or wonder how in the world your life turned out the way it did, then this is a conversation for you. Athena is yet another example of how life can surprise you in the most beautiful of ways.
