SPARK, A Mother-Daughter Journey
Hi, this is Jenny Kierstead and Sophia Rae, a Mother-Daughter duo. We’ve been through a lot together the last few years. As we moved through COVID self-isolation, we also dealt with our own traumatic grief from the massacre here in NS, which claimed the life of Jenny’s sister, and Sophia’s Aunt, Lisa McCully. We decided to channel our desire to spark a light amidst the darkness by creating this podcast.Our hope for this podcast is to ignite honest, whole-hearted conversations that bridge the generational gap, heal trauma and light the path for a healthy, united future.
SPARK, A Mother-Daughter Journey
This 14 year old sees dyslexia as a gift- A convo with Bella Rose
This very special episode, recorded on Mother's Day, is a candid conversation between hosts Jenny and Sophia AND Sophia's younger sister, Bella Rose.
After a few minutes of awe inspiring details of Bella's cooking creations, Bella bravely shares about her dyslexia diagnosis. What for many would be a life changing setback, she's learned to view her learning disability as a quality that makes her unique. Bella reminds us not to let our struggles define us and offers concrete strategies for thriving in life at any age.
In a world where girls' relationships are often mired in competition and jealousy, it's inspiring to hear these siblings interact so supportively by building on each other's strengths and generously affirming their goodness.
We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed making it.
