Life Over Pain - Pamela Schmidt - Rediscovering Her Inner Superwoman
Manage episode 315480930 series 2106789
When you are faced with an existential crisis, it's hard to see what is right in front of you. Brain injury and Lime Disease screw with one's sense of self. Pamela Schmidt was a never-say-never person a superwoman in the flesh. She still knows she is that person in some ways, but then again, she isn't that person.
She's had concussions in her past, like so many of us, but nothing like when a window fell on her head. That changed everything. Back in the 90's she was told to keep going, that she was okay. But she wasn't. She had to change her approach to life. So she changed what she did, but not entirely how she did it. She was still all in - home schooling her three kids, being a perpetual volunteer who usually became the lead at those efforts. She's an incredibly capable person in spite of her limitations.
Superwoman still reigns. Pamela just doesn't see it herself because she can't be the same kind of superwoman that she used to be. But you'll hear how strong, passionate and talented she is as she tells her story. And you can see it in her quilting. Check it out in via the link in the text.
