18: Emotional Weight Training

In theater, when there are children in a show the company hires a “Child Wrangler.” This person manages the children to make sure they are in costume and make their entrances on time.

It wasn’t until after I semi-retired from the biz that I realized I’ve been “wrangled” or “managed” my entire life. I was left a completely disempowered woman unable to carry the weight of my own life. And while I know I will f*ck Everett up somehow, we started weight training from day one. I want him to know and trust he is strong enough to carry anything that comes his way. Through our training we developed deep trust, security, and strength together. And individually.
