Kathy Marler is a friend and mentor and above all a woman I deeply admire! In a world where families are often geographically and emotionally scattered, she and her husband have raised their family in a way that has encouraged their children and grandchildren to stay both physically and emotionally close to them and to each other. Together, we discuss how to foster emotional closeness with children and grandchildren, the value of living near extended family, and how to make thoughtful decisions about where to build a life. This conversation is especially meaningful to me because these are questions that I'm actively contemplating for my own life and family.
