Wholey Schmidt

by Sarah Schmidt

Welcome to Wholey Schmidt! A new kind of podcast where we use storytelling as a vehicle for self-actualization and reflection. This season, our host, Sarah Schmidt– walks us through the lessons and resilience found during her first 52 years on this planet. We cover some of the most difficult and complex parts of the human experience… dealing with a diagnosis, marrying a woman, adopting children, navigating divorce, co-parenting, marrying a man, having a biological child later in life, grieving a parent... Moments that will stop and make you say, Wholey Schmidt.
