Extraordinary Moms Podcast

Today my guest is Kimberly Beam-Holmes. She's an adoptive mom and she’s also the CEO of Marriage Helper, where they celebrate more than 70% success rate of saving marriages. She believes that ANY marriage could be saved from divorce. According to Kimberly, there are 4 phases to falling in love – Attraction, Acceptance, Attachment, and Aspiration. She would love to share with your audience why every couple AND parent should follow the LovePath, what happens if you stop following the path, and how to resolve those tiny and common fights among couples and make a happy home. Healthy relationships being modeled in the home is a huge component to raising happy and thriving kids, and I hope you have some aha moments in the episode today!

You won't believe my guest's story today. Jessie Boeckmann flew to Ukraine to bring home her second daughter via gestational surrogate. On Feb 22, her daughter was born in Kyiv and on Feb 24, she started hearing the bombings from the Russian invasion. She knew they had to get out quickly. And so began her journey out of the capital and out of the country with her days old newborn and her husband. She is incredible and you won't believe her story!
