Getting to know Echo Hill Vetter is like discovering a deep well of empathy. Echo has 5 children, including two surprise babies! Throughout the years of motherhood she has experienced miscarriages, confusing grief, surprising joy, and an overall re-orienting in her spiritual compass.
On the other side, she is now more vocal about her path of breaking a part religious beliefs and being honest with the true emotions and needs of motherhood.
In listening to her story you may recognize parts of your own story of losing and finding self, including, losing and finding truth.
