A Dime to Say I Love You, A Debut Memoir

Lori La Bey talks with Kathryn Henry, a writer, spiritual seeker, and business leader whose life has been shaped by blue-collar beginnings, executive success, and profound personal challenges and loss. Her debut memoir, A Dime to Say I Love You, is an unflinching account of heartbreak, abuse, and grief—and the transformative journey into hope, compassion, and spiritual awakening that follows.

Learn:
What does AFGO stand for, and how did it help you on your caring journey?
Kathryn defines what a Dime moment looks like and feels like.
The importance of humor and how those moments can keep you going in difficult times
Ways to deal with grief
The effects of leaving your job to care for another

Lessons in love, presence, and priorities.
Transformation through grief
