We pick back up for part 2 of my conversation with Steven Allen Youngat the point in Steven's life where he has just been released from prison and, after exhausting all his options for a place to live he finds himself homeless, living out of his car and on the streets of Nashville.
We hear about what that looked like for him, what he endured and the blessing of a man named Mike who was instrumental in getting him off the streets. 
Steven's story takes a turn that you just have to hear to believe, from being homeless himself to now helping the homeless each and every day.
I can’t wait for you to hear how this turns out.

Have you ever passed a homeless person on the street and thought to yourself, how did they get here?  Have you ever passed judgment and thought, “that would never happen to me?” Or assumed it was their own fault they ended up in this situation?
Or maybe you’ve thought the problem was too big and that nothing you were going to do would solve it.
Our guest today is here to share his remarkable story of a tragic childhood that spun him into a life of bad choices.  Those bad choices led him to prison and then eventually onto the streets where he found himself homeless for 5 years on the streets of Nashville.
Spoiler alert: Steven is now a best selling author of his book ‘FROM CHAINS TO CHANGE’ and is the co-founder of HOME STREET HOME - a Nashville organization that helps the homeless community with their everyday needs like shelter, food and toiletries but also with the ultimate goal of getting them back on their feet.
Our conversation was packed with so much emotion and inspirations I just couldn’t imagine editing anything out.
This is part one of my conversation with Steven Allen Young.

All Your Skincare Questions Answered - with Aesthetic Nurse Specialist, Keri Lea, BSN RN

Are your kids getting ready to leave for college? Are you trying to manage all the emotions that come with that but still not feeling ready? What does life look like when they go? How do we set up a great foundation so that our relationship with them stays strong even when they aren’t under our roof?
Suzanne Mayernick knows a thing or two about raising kids and maintaining a solid relationship with them once they leave for school and beyond.  We discuss all the feelings leading up to the oldest leaving and she offers a great perspective on how to look at it.  
Suzanne also tells us about her 9th “child”, her passion project Love One International, a center in Uganda that receives, rehabilitates and resettles malnourished children.
We talk about marriage and how it ebbs and flows through raising kids and the importance of making sure you still know (and like) the person you married beyond having kids.
I can’t wait for you to listen as I know so many of you are gearing up to send your kids off to school this year.  
Suzannes story will leave you feeling inspired, hopeful and with some great ideas to utilize with your own kids.

Empty Nesting & Finding Your Purpose Past Raising Kids  - with Suzanne Mayernick, Mother of 8 and Founder of Love One International

After much demand, our favorite OBGYN is back!  Answering all the questions we didn’t get to ask the last time she was here.  We are going more in depth, and really getting specific with our most intimate questions and concerns from STD’s to male birth control and so much more.
Have you heard of the new upswing of men getting vasectomies as a form of birth control? Is that a wise idea?  How much do you really know about Plan B and how it actually works?  What is the best way to keep up our hygiene “down there”?  What is a fibroid and how do you know if it needs to be removed?
I’m asking all the uncomfortable questions so you don’t have to.
Also as a disclaimer, this PODCAST is for entertainment purposes only and you should always see your own doctor for your personal concerns.
Dr. Kristin Daniel practices as an OBGYN at WOMEN Obstetrics & Gynecology in Nashville, TN.
