Episode 39: Who’s Your Person? with Ricki Radosh (Part 4 of 4)
In the final part of our Making Friends in Midlife series, Ricki Radosh tells the story behind a simple question her son sent her: who’s your person? She did not have an answer, until a hospital crisis forced her to find one. What she discovered is that her person had been there all along, in a relationship she had spent years overlooking.
In this episode, we talk about: - The question that would not leave Ricki alone: if you won a million dollars, who would you call first? - What happened in the hospital the night her partner passed, and the thought that kept circling - Why “the conversation doesn’t disappear just because you do different actions,” and how old beliefs keep running underneath a changed life - How Ricki realized her mom was her person, and the twenty-plus trips that had been telling her so for years - A reframe worth borrowing: notice the old story, question whether it is still true, then put actions in - Ricki’s honest answer to what “sexy” means to her now, and why the word she reaches for is peaceful
