Devin Moore, the featured guest on this episode, touches on his journey of reclaiming his strength. When he was just 14 years old, Devin faced bullying because of his race and skin color. Instead of suffering in silence, he found his voice and stood up against the bullies, determined to make sure no one else felt alone in their struggles. This experience inspired him to establish #RaceToSpeakUp, an organization dedicated to eradicating bullying by educating young people on how to prevent it - that is what you will hear about in this episode.  

Through #Racespeakup, Devin empowers individuals to recognize injustice and drive positive change in their communities. In the interview, he distinguishes between teasing and true bullying, shedding light on the harmful impact of the latter. Devin is also the author of "Devin Speaks Up," a children's book that shares his personal story and emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance.

In addition to writing, Devin conducts training sessions and workshops for schools and organizations, spreading his message of kindness and advocating for bystanders to become "upstanders" in the fight against bullying. His ultimate goal is to create a world where everyone feels empowered to embrace their true selves without fear of discrimination or mistreatment.

For the first time ever, hosts are sharing the mic with 2 guests!  Claire and Katy join hosts to tell listeners about “Nourish” - a program uniquely designed for new mothers of children newborn to 5 years old. Claire and Katy have a passion for helping and empowering women to thrive in mind, body, and spirit. This therapeutic sanctuary takes a holistic approach to wellness, it is described as a mental health haven for mothers to nourish, enhance, rediscover, and thrive during those first few years of motherhood. As mothers to toddlers, hosts know too well that motherhood can be a beautiful chapter - while it can also, simultaneously be, overwhelming! The goal of Nourish is to be a safe space that brings connection and a feeling of  “me too” for its participants. Postpartum depression is one of the most common health concerns affecting new mothers worldwide. Postpartum anxiety is also very common, as well as adjustment needs, body image concerns, relationship strains, a feeling of social isolation, and sleep deprivation. After 6 weeks, participants will leave the program feeling empowered by this nurturing space and gain valuable insights, tools and confidence to navigate early motherhood with resilience.  Listeners of this episode will hear how they can be a part of Nourish, and gain access to a SECRET DISCOUNT CODE (or if male, how to support a loved one to be a part of Nourish).  New mothers might choose Nourish as a way to support their From There, To Here journey.

Amanda shares a special story with hosts: A story of birth, loss, and moving forward.  Amanda is mom to THE Amazing Grace.  Most people believe that adding to your family of two should be exciting. But after having a miscarriage, Amanda and her husband got pregnant a 2nd time only to receive devastating and scary news that the baby was measuring too small and may have a hole in their heart. After lots of prayer and giving the outcome over to a higher power, Grace was born. She was indeed born small and did have to have surgeries to fix the hole in her heart - but that was just the beginning of her journey. Genetic tests showed that Grace had a very rare chromosomal abnormality called Emanuel Syndrome. Amanda explains what Emanuel syndrome is and how it affected Grace’s development.  Amanda also shares how this rare diagnosis changed her and her husband’s life - forever. Learning how to care for all of Grace’s unique medical needs, many lengthy stays at the hospital, career changes, and 24-hour nursing care are just a few of the life altering challenges you’ll hear in this episode.  

At the tender age of 13, Grace's journey on earth came to an end, leaving a void in their hearts.  Despite the pain of loss, Amanda speaks passionately about how her family and friends have rallied together to honor Grace's memory. Through their collective efforts, they ensure that Grace's legacy lives on, touching the lives of others and spreading awareness about Emanuel Syndrome. In sharing this story, Amanda hopes to inspire others to embrace the lessons learned from Grace's life and carry her light forward.
