SEASON 4 Ep 3: “We’ve all got a boulder & a mountain to climb” Guest, Dr. Joseph Cardillo

There are people you meet in life, whether through words, groups, from a community or work that redefine how you interact with and see life. For me, it started with words; a little book I found one rainy Sunday morning at the bookstore. Mike and I used to spend Sunday’s perusing books, coffee in hand, walking up and down isles. He pouring over car magazines, I searching for meaning in books or looking to get lost in fiction.

One day I came across a book, Be Like Water. I flipped through this tiny paperback, it’s first sentence reading, “More than 70% of the Earth’s surface is water. Every living thing is composed of water.” I was intrigued so I bought it. Little did I know that book would help me through some difficult times in my life. Whether finding my center, conquering fear, channeling my energy or freeing my mind of anger and guilt. So back to the store I went and purchased his other book that I relied on heavily, Bow to Life.

More than a decade later, I turned to the book again when my husband Mike died from brain cancer. Now here I sit, getting the chance to interview its author, Dr. Joseph Cardillo for this very podcast.
