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
We're Back!....and Sophia took the Accutane Leap
They're back!!! After a short hiatus from podcasting, this mother-daughter duo comes back together to update you, our listeners, on their lives now. Sophia candidly shares about her struggle to come to the decision to take accutane, the hefty acne medication, and what it was like being on it. She bravely speaks about her experience with therapy and how it supported her journey through this very challenging period in her life.
The conversation then shifts to Mom, where Jenny shares about her 10 mth Women of Light Wellness Program that she designed and led, in the midst of the public inquiry. She talks about the alchemical journey that it was for all involved, including her, and how it enriched participants' lives by learning how to use our times of suffering as opportunities to deepen our understanding of ourselves.
Having both had birthday's since the last podcast, Jenny turned the big 50 as Sophia celebrated her dancing Queen at 17, they discuss their family rituals for birthdays. As a gift for listeners this year (and for years to come), they share this birthday hand out to help us align with our deepest dreams and live the life we long to live.
"As a birthday gift to yourself, take a step on the journey of YOU today. By doing so, you’ll ensure that next year this time you’ll be in a new and different place."
