Sally McQuallen – Reaching for Beautiful

from The Unexpected Detour ❤️ Hosted by The Unexpected Detour LLC

In this episode of The Unexpected Detour ❤️, I had the privilege of speaking with the incredible Sally McQuallen. Sally is not only a wife, mother of three, and an accomplished author, but also an LCSW and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. Her memoir, Reaching for Beautiful: A Memoir of Loving and Losing a Wild Child, tells the powerful story of her journey after the heartbreaking loss of her oldest son, Christopher, nine years ago. Sally's composure and transparency as she shares the love and grief of losing a child are a testament to a mother’s unwavering and unconditional love. This episode is filled with raw emotion, resilience, and the kind of love that transcends even the deepest of pain. Sally’s strength and vulnerability will leave you inspired and deeply moved. Pick up a copy of her book, Reaching for Beautiful: A Memoir of Loving and Losing a Wild Child, and join us for this powerful conversation.
