I'm excited to share my new podcast with you! The Feral Female Podcast has begun!

Episode 1 talks abouI’d like to share the inspiration behind the podcast name and the concept of the feral female. As a wife, mother, caregiver, and a woman shaped by profound change that has divided my life into two distinct halves, I speak to those women who have developed strength in unexpected ways. I recount the heartbreaking story of my husband’s tragic heart attack and the ensuing brain injury that left him reliant on a wheelchair. This moment marked the beginning of my journey as a Feral Female.
