Language plays a crucial role in our everyday lives, capable of profoundly impacting our existence. Certain words, such as "commitment," "affection," and "gratitude," have the power to alter our emotions and, in some instances, even transform our life trajectories. Conversely, there exist words with darker connotations, such as "terror" and "cancer." Today's podcast episode unfortunately demands that we utter a word that I find almost too painful to bear: "Goodbye." It's with a heavy heart that I attempt to convey the deep sorrow we feel as we bid farewell to our cherished friend, Linda Ragsdale. However, knowing Linda, or "Rags," as we fondly call her, you'll embark on an emotional journey filled with laughter, astonishment, and profound inspiration. Please join me as I share, for the final time, a very special interview with this extraordinary friend. Linda is not only an enthralling and enchanting speaker but also an exceptional educator whose life took a momentous turn in 2008.
