Ep. 58

Ep. 58 "Be a Good Girl and Don't Let Down My Parents" Gerry Wilson's False Narrative

2024-05-18
Download
Gerry Wilson was an only child. She watched her father work 12 hour days. She saw her parents sacrifice to provide an idyllic childhood.  Somehow she learned that she needed to be a good girl which meant being perfect and she didn't want to let her parents down! 
Gerry grew up and got married. Eveything seemed in place until her fairy-tale marriage took an unexpected detour, she found herself at a crossroads. The cracks in her perfect facade revealed a new path filled with twists and turns, challenging her to redefine her narrative. She began teaching at a preschool. She had a friend and co-worker remind her, not to let this divorce ruin her. She also chose to focus on the fact that she wasn't without skill and opportunity. She ended up earning her masters in English. 
Fast forward to today, Gerry Wilson is a self-proclaimed late bloomer recently publishing her novel at 82 years young. She shows us that it's okay to stumble, as long as we pick ourselves up and keep moving forward.
