Are talented children more difficult to raise? Sally Raymond’s first son was a remarkably intelligent child, began reading signs and engaging in debates at an astonishingly young age.

But beneath the facade of the perfect of the perfect child, life wasn’t so perfect. Her son was emotionally vulnerable, as all children are. For him, a series of critical life events eventually led to his suicide. Sally bravely hares her story of navigating the complexities of parenting, emotional intelligence, and the profound lessons learned.

Through her journey, Sally became a psychotherapist, dedicating her life to helping others navigate similar challenges. She highlights the significance of social emotional skills, which are often overlooked in traditional education. As she shares her insights, listeners are encouraged to embrace their own journeys of self-discovery and healing.

The episode culminates in a powerful message: ‘Everything we survive, we can heal.’ Sally’s story is not just one of loss; it is a testament to resilience, growth, and the enduring bond between a mother and her son.

Join this compelling conversation. It just might make you assess your life, and the life of those you love, a bit differently.
