Sophia Rae and Jenny Kierstead

In this episode, we interview my husband and Sophia's Dad, Blair Abbass. He's an award winning educator, therapist and mindfulness expert whose survived a trainwreck and many other close calls, leaving him convinced that there is a greater purpose to his life.

Blair candidly shares the challenges he faced growing up with a Dad who lived with untreated PTSD from fighting in World War 2, which led to alcoholism in the family.  He shares how he developed resilience at an early age and the profound life teachings he's passed on to thousands of students.

In this very special conversation, you will gain many insights into relationships, parenting, gratitude and, of course, love, with our favorite guy. 

Thank you Blair for enlightening us with your hard-earned wisdom and Cape Breton humour.
