You Ask, We Answer. Todd Farmer & Sam Wright get the answers to help you make important life decisions from gardening to financial planning. 

In this week's special episode, Todd & Sam talk to representatives from Emerald Therapy about dealing with trauma after an unexpected life event.  In the last week, multiple communities in the midwest were impacted by a series of tornados in which have claimed the lives of over 70 people in Kentucky, Illinois, and Arkansas.  

The hosts of What Should You Ask as well as the podcast sponsor, Farmer & Wright, are thinking about all of those who are impacted directly or indirectly by this most recent event.  Please reference the show notes for more resources and how you can get involved.
