Welcome to Milkweed and Monarchs! I’m your host, Dawn Klem, and today, I want to dive into the power of storytelling—the kind that connects us, inspires us, and reminds us of the resilience that lives within each of us.

Life is full of moments—some planned, some unexpected—that shape who we become. Sometimes, it’s a conversation that lingers in our minds. Other times, it’s the quiet strength of a loved one, or the wisdom passed down through generations. These stories are more than just memories—they’re lessons, reminders, and sparks of inspiration.

Today, I’ll be sharing a story that left a lasting impression on me, one that speaks to the heart of perseverance, kindness, and the ripple effect of small yet powerful actions. So, let’s step into this journey together—because every story has the potential to change the way we see the world.
