This is a subject that is a hard one for me.  It's a detour that I have felt I needed to talk about yet didn't know how? A friend of mine and past guest Kyle called me one day and said he felt like he wanted to talk about this subject and how he has unfortunately dealt with this on many levels. To me it was a sign. I was wanting to talk about it and than he called. Its a sad thing to talk about. Being educated is important though. Join us today and hear some advice and warning signs to look for.

Divorce is hard and it effects your life in so many ways. Divorce effects obviously you and if children are involved  it effects them too.  Does it effect others? You bet it does. Today I have two siblings of mine join me as we take a trip down memory lane to discuss and hear their point of view and how my divorce has had ripple effects in their life too. It was emotional in man ways and I am so grateful for my family.

Happy Memorial Day.  Grateful for my freedom and those who have and continue to fight for our freedoms.

When someone has a heart attack, we immediately run to help them.  Some say its a BIG wake up call to things going on in our body.  We quickly  pay attention and seek for help. 
In our marriages or life we sometimes have "heart attacks"  and we need to be aware and take precaution and necessary steps to heal the issues. Recovering  from any form of "heart attack" isn't easy.  Some say,  people are never the same after a divorce or trial or heart attack. Join me today as we talk with Attorney Peter Olson. He has some advice and has developed a course to help save us from "heart attacks."
