Hey Twentysomething!

Welcome to episode 15 of the Twenties Detox (S1.E15) ~ where we
talk about all the struggles of early adulthood and develop
better mindsets for growth and healing.

Today, we have another retrospective reflections episode! You may
remember the episode I recorded a few months ago with my great
aunt Reena, where we discussed overcoming life's challenges
through perseverance and faith. Today, I am honored to have
someone who possesses the same level of strength and
determination, as well as the Norwegian grit that runs in our
family. Mary Brown is Reena’s younger sister, and despite growing
up in the same household, their personalities couldn't be more
different! Mary has always been someone who has shown me what it
truly means to live life to the fullest. She even has the sign
“carpe diem” hanging outside which is a latin saying to
seize the day. Her unwavering positivity and infectious laughter
have brought immense light to my family, and in a world that can
often feel overwhelming, her example provides invaluable lessons
on how to lead a long, healthy, and happy life. So, without
further ado, I am thrilled to welcome my wonderful grandmother,
well we call her Granny Mary, to the podcast.

Sit back and relax. Hope you enjoy!

xoxo
