On this episode of Beyond Brave, we sit down with Ashlyn and Ashley from the Parent Empowerment Network for a deep, unfiltered conversation about marriage and parenting. We open up about our journey as Bella’s parents, sharing the real and raw moments beyond social media—how we navigated caregiving, kept our relationship strong, and leaned on each other through unimaginable challenges. From communication struggles to recognizing each other’s strengths, we explore what it takes to stay united in the face of adversity.

Hey, it’s Kyla and Lyle, and welcome to another episode of Beyond Brave! Kyla sits down with grief educator Lisa Boehm, who opens up about the heartbreaking loss of her daughter Katie and how she’s now helping other grieving mothers through The Angel Moms Podcast.

We explore the many layers of grief—how it affects not just emotions but also physical health, the fear of forgetting loved ones, and why simply showing up for those who are grieving can make all the difference. We also dig into society’s often uncomfortable relationship with grief and share some powerful advice for anyone navigating loss.

This episode is emotional, eye-opening, and full of wisdom. Stick around until the end—Kyla drops a hint about an upcoming deep dive into the connection between grief and physical health. You won’t want to miss it!

In this episode, we sat down with the incredible Brandy Hofer—an artist, educator, and all-around creative genius who helped turn our kids' rooms into wonderlands. We got real and raw, sharing the highs and lows of Bella’s medical journey and how our art projects (and this podcast) became a lifeline during the toughest times.

And of course, we couldn’t help but laugh about our hilarious Waylon and his antics. Join us as we mix heartfelt moments with a splash of humor, celebrate the power of creativity, and embrace the magic of our amazing community!

In this lively and intimate episode of Beyond Brave, Kyla and I share stories of hope, bravery, and laughter, reflecting on our journey with our late daughter, Bella. But today, we go beyond the well-known chapters and dive into more personal experiences. I share a behind-the-scenes look at Kyla’s recent keynote speech at the Hearts Desire Gala, a beautiful event that honors medical moms and supports local hospitals.

We also talk about our family life, including some challenges we’ve had while recording with our son, Waylon, and how we’ve been reflecting on Valentine’s Day. In addition, we discuss some powerful personal growth strategies, like how we process and let go of those nagging thoughts that tend to weigh us down.

We take a moment to highlight the exciting things we have coming up—particularly some brave initiatives in Bella’s legacy, including our collaboration with Brave Gowns. We wrap up the episode with a fun segment on the resurgence of ‘90s and 2000s fashion, reminiscing about Kendrick Lamar’s recent Super Bowl halftime show and how it brought back some nostalgic style.
