Becoming Wilkinson
When I started this podcast, I thought it would be the story of my journey from married man with three sons, involved in ministry in the NW, to my current life as a gay man in Palm Springs, CA. I'd weave in interesting interviews with amazing people whom I've met along the way. But as the podcast has evolved, I realized that interacting and hearing other people's stories has changed me. The Universe always sends me just the right person at just the right time to guide me along my own journey of "Becoming". Join me as I have conversations with these fascinating people and share this journey with you.
Becoming Wilkinson
Adam Dones: Sharing his personal story of a constant struggle with self-sabotage, pain and suicide attempts- There IS Hope.
Adam's story and his struggles.
Even though we each have dreams for that perfect life, many times we self sabotage ourselves for some hidden reason. Adam shares the struggles he's had over the past several years with failed gay relationships, hurting himself and hurting others whom he's loved and lost. Thankfully, his suicide attempts were not successful and he's here to share his poignant story with us.
It's so easy to judge others. "Why didn't you do that"? "Why did you say that"? "Didn't you learn anything from the last time this happened"? And yet, so many times we all do this type of thing to ourselves. Hopefully, Adam's courage in sharing his story will give each of us insight into the way we so often behave in the very same way.
And perhaps it will remind us to truly appreciate whom we have in the person sitting there, right in front of us.
