  • Some of their favorite guests have been the Ruth family because you got to hear from a mothers and fathers perspective. Each person's perspective in the family unit is different. It is so amazing to see how they have grown individually and as a family and how they are be able to share those experiences.
  • They loved the interviews from the parents, Michelle Lewis, Jo Daley, Shannon Sullivan, Jennifer Farren, Stephanie Schiff, and Caz Collins. All of these parents had such great insight.

  • Tiffany Fixter was a fun guest. she is doing amazing things in the community with Brewability and Pizzability.

  • They have touched on so many different topics especially with Derricknyms and how quickly Derrick Hayes comes up with words associated with the letters of your name. It really resonates with you and is just an amazing skill.

MINDSHIFT (takeaways) 

  1. Be grateful for everything and reflect on the positive in your journey. Focus on the positive because then you start to see more positive happen.
  2. Trust your intuition, if it doesn’t feel right move on and find something else. Your intuition is going to lead you to a path. You know your child the best and you are your child's expert. In trusting your intuition there will be bumps because it's taking you to where you need to go.

Remember life isn’t linear. There are extreme highs and extreme lows. Just know when you’re in that low, it’ll only get better. That’s why it's good to reflect because when you have hit lows in the past you can see that you bounced back from it, so that should give you hope.
