Everyone truly has their own story. This weeks guest, Debbie Clement, has experienced plenty of hardships in her life that most of us wouldn't wish on their worst enemies. 

Debbie was in an out of foster homes up until the age of 15, when her boss at the time saw something more in her applied to be a foster parent to take her in.  

Later in life, Debbie married a marine and thought they were about to have the family they'd dreamed of when an automobile accident intervened just a few days before her due date. 

Listen now, to see how Debbie managed to remain positive and has always had a great outlook on life, despite the struggles. This one is very inspiring!

Back by popular demand, our return guest, Darrell Choat joined us again last night! We picked his brain about the recent events that happed in Pennsylvania at the presidential rally last weekend. And while that revolved around politics which I do NOT like talking about, we actually kept things very neutral and not that political at all! 

We really enjoyed these discussions with Darrell and we hope you will too!

Trigger warning times 3 guys! I have had a handful of people tell me they don't like listening to the super sad stories. If you're one of those people-you might want to steer clear of this episode because it had all three of us crying at times talking through Taylors stories.

This weeks guest, Taylor Thornton, has been through more tough losses than anyone should've had to endure by the age of 26.

She bravely walks us through losing a brother to suicide, a mother to breast cancer, and lastly her baby girl, just minutes after she was born. 

Jacket mentions almost every week how it could always be worse. This episode definitely reminded me of that.
