Life Lessons from Moma Joan:
Five key takeaways for teens, adults, and single moms
Joan O'Connor is my mom.
She is also a mom to many of my friends, my brothers' friends and played a critical role in shaping who I am today. Join us for an intimate, honest and fun conversation about what it was like for her to raise three boys on her own after my dad left. How she loved me until I learned to love myself while i was battling addiction, and how she managed to survive losing my youngest brother Seth in a car accident in 1999, and a debilitating fall in 2019.
My mom is a survivor out of necessity and refused to take welfare except for a very brief moment. She talks about community, connection, kindness and resilience and finding her mate after writing out 21 things she wanted.
Most importantly, mama Joan leaves us with hope and a few choice words of wisdom to find our path that leads to Joy.
Every kid(young or old) should be so lucky to share moments like the ones we talk about in this episode of Dare to Be Great, Dare to Be You.
PS: To read more of the story of how she saved my life, read my memoir Beyond Recovery.
