LISTENERS!! OMG – What a treat you are in for.  This is technically a throwback to 2020 and features my favorite guest and hairdresser, you guessed it, my MOM, Lydia Franco. My entire family just spent 4 days together to celebrate my sister’s big birthday weekend in New Orleans. This was the first time all sisters, Mom and niece were together in well over 1 year. Mom and I are similar when it comes to getting sentimental about things like this – suffice to say we had a great time!! 

Which brings me to this episode which originally aired in 2020.In this episode, Mom opens up about being a single mom of 3, making time to write encouraging love notes to me through my teenage and young adult years, while trying to figure out how to get me into USC, my dream school, all at a time when HER life was in turmoil. 

If you are a parent, single parent, struggling parent, or worried parent, especially in the midst of this global pandemic -- you need to listen today. 

It was my mom who actually inspired me to write the Parent Academy Workbook in 2020. It is available on my website now - and if you use the special code you can get the workbook for under $10! A steal! Thanks, Mom!
