Lee Self: An Intense Rollercoaster of Life Events & the Resulting Wisdom

My guest today is Lee Self.

I was introduced to Lee by Ellen Grealish of FlexProfessionals who was my guest on episode 52. After connecting with Lee, we realized we also have a mutual friend in Brenda Harrington, my guest on episode 7 (and soon to be returning to talk about her new book!).

Lee is the CEO of Executive Forums in Northern Virginia.  She is an Executive Peer Group Facilitator, Leadership Developer, and Business Advisor helping CEOs connect, learn & grow together...  

Lee also has extensive experience in the communications industry working for Verizon and Web.com before beginning her work with Executive Forums.

Lee’s personal journey is perhaps most easily described as an intense rollercoaster ride.  The ups and downs are gripping and how Lee has journeyed and learned through everything is nothing less than inspiring.  

In our conversation today, Lee shares the story of discovering her husband was an alcoholic, finding her own health in the midst of incredible turbulence, her husband’s sobriety story and reuniting of their relationship, then to be faced with his terminal diagnosis and death, followed by her son’s tumultuous journey through addiction and recovery.

Lee shares how she has learned to take care of herself as a foundational life and survival skill, getting her hands out of other people’s business, and how her faith and spiritual life have made all these difficulties a little less difficult.

Lee, thank you so much for sharing these pieces of your journey.  You offer so much wisdom and inspiration to us and to so many others in the world!
