Episode 2 - One Measured Step at a Time

David Shubert Season 1 Episode 2

In this episode, I talk about what it really means to keep moving forward when everything in you wants to stop. For parents living through alienation, progress rarely happens in leaps — it happens one measured step at a time.

I share how I learned to slow down, to breathe, and to rebuild my footing after every emotional hit. Some days, the only step I could take was getting out of bed; other days, it was speaking the truth out loud, even when no one seemed to hear it.

Healing isn’t a race. It’s a rhythm — a quiet, deliberate march toward peace. And each small step, no matter how shaky, still counts.
