"The moment you become a motherless daughter is a turning point." -Mitzi Campbell

Mitzi Campbell's life changed drastically when her mother's traumatic childhood resurfaced, turning her life into a downward spiral. Mitzi, a young mother of three, had to take on the role of caretaker for her mother, who suffered from depression and paranoia. However, her mother's condition worsened, and she was diagnosed with lung cancer. Despite her pain, Mitzi tried to lead a happy life for her young children, burying her grief and using shopping as a coping mechanism. When her mother passed away, Mitzi was left with the realization of her mortality and the strength of being a motherless daughter.

In this episode, you will learn the following:

1. How did a traumatic childhood come back to shape the life of a family later in life?

2. What is it like to experience a loved one's end-of-life care, and how did it shape Mitzi's perspective on death?

3. How did Mitzi cope with her mother's death, and how did it manifest in her lifestyle?

About Mitzi:

After over 35 years in the classroom, Mitzi is breaking out of higher education and into the school of life. A single mom of three grown-ups, Mitzi’s mixed bag of expertise lies primarily in education, psychology and the arts! Today, she’s rolling a lifetime of experience in writing, parenting, personal development and photography into The Blessons Podcast, out January 4, 2023. Blessons is a sweet combination of blessings and lessons, and the podcast is a series of authentic stories you can relate to told by ordinary humans just like you. 

When she’s not connecting with the life stories that inspire her or working on her mission to add light and love to the world by bringing hearts together, you may find her bopping along on a backroad sitting close behind her guy on a motorcycle, knitting an ill-fitting sweater or standing on her head in yoga.
