Well you're in for a treat on today's episode! My favorite humans Claire, Emma, and Daniel Hembree (my kids!!) will be sharing their perspective on our life with me as their working mom.  The real life challenges, the transitions, and how we toggled from part-time to full-time, homeschooling and public schooling. We've tried it all and still in the end these young adults of mine have turned out just fine! 

Real life is not always easy, but it can be done. If you're trying to juggle working and raising great kids and you just want to hear kids still turn out great in this day and age, be inspired!

Enjoy!

We all know having vision for your life is important but how practical is it to see the things that you dream of and hope for actually become a reality? 

This January, Tanya sat down to create her yearly vision board, putting words and images to what she was hoping for in 2020. Over the years, creating vision boards has become a practical way to brainstorm and visualize dreams while still holding them loosely. 

In this episode, Tanya shares about her experience of engaging dreams with both faith and action. 

A native to the dusty plains of Oklahoma, Daniel C. White is an amazing husband, father, and photographer.

His passport is covered in stamps from all over the world; however, he has come to recognize that life is not always about what you are doing rather who you are doing it with… 

In this episode, Daniel shares more about his journey towards living a life that balances passion, purpose, and people. His story reminds us that success means nothing unless you spend time experiencing life with those you love the most. So, join me on this episode as my friend Daniel and I talk about living a balanced, purposeful life.

Cyndi Thomson, born in the southern plains of Tifton, Georgia, is the youngest of four girls. Her love for music helped her realized by age twelve that singing was her calling. 

After coming to Nashville to attend Belmont, almost overnight Cyndi went from scrubbing floors and waiting tables to holding a shiny new record deal and shortly afterward topping the country music charts.  Thomson signed with Sony-ATV Music Publishing as a songwriter, then in 2000 Capitol Records immediately signed her to a record deal after hearing her sing just three songs. She co-wrote eight of the eleven songs on her debut album My World, released on July 31, 2001. It became the best-selling debut album by a female country singer since LeAnn Rimes' album Blue was released in 1996. The album was quickly certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America after selling more than 500,000 copies. The lead-off single, "What I Really Meant to Say," spent three weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) chart. It also became the only debut single by a female country singer to spend more than one week at the top of the Radio & Records country chart.

Cyndi would lay it all down, walking away from the pinnacle of career to pursue a different season.  A season of true identity, of pursuing God, and raising her children while emerging with found purpose and joy.

Her story is a beautiful one surrender.  Her new season is unfolding in ways she never thought was imaginable with more music and a new product line Haybelle Co..

Recently, her new product line Haybelle Co. has been seen being worn by stars like Kimberly Paisley and Lizzo to name a few.
