Episode 16: The Power of Personal Responsibility

In this solo episode, I talk about coming out of a pretty dark depression, and then move on to how taking personal responsibility can be the most empowering thing you can do for yourself, your marriage, and your divorce.

I tell the story of when I was in nursery school and was told to apologize and literally couldn’t, do a pretty amazing impression of my mom, and tell a really personal story about what having been molested as a child taught me about personal responsibility and growth.
