Show from 4/17 aired on award-winning "So, What's Your Story?" On KPFT 90.1 FM Houston.
Journey is a word often used to describe what listeners takes when absorbed in a story. Ellen Teitelman Wohl is exactly this kind of storyteller who can escort listeners on this kind of journey because the pictures she paints are so vivid, you not only hear, but see her story unfold in front of you.
Her life was furiously tested when she became interested in wellness and self-care. As in most cases, she wasn't ready for how her life was about to turn to the surreal. It began when she was losing herself while helping her husband Jack recuperate from a myriad of illnesses. Depression and anxiety lead to burnout.
Curiously, Ellen discovered that burnout was normal, and after seeking support from other family caregivers, she realized she needed a breather. Her astonishing skill as a writer prompted the book seen in the title line. Hard to put down. It's even harder to walk away when listening to her voice as she tells a collection of her stories in this must read. Raw. Real. Poignant. Thanks for listening.
