Dr. Dudley has an incredibly inspiring conversation with US Senator Tammy Duckworth.  Senator Tammy Duckworth gives leadership principles from the perspective of one of the nations first combat pilots and Illinois’ Junior Senator who took President Obama Senate Seat. Her persistence to lead after getting a second chance on life after being shot down by a RPG and losing both legs and full function in her right arm is powerful lessons!
BIO
Senator Tammy Duckworth is an Iraq War Veteran, Purple Heart recipient and former Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs who was among the first handful of Army women to fly combat missions during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Duckworth served in the Reserve Forces for 23 years before retiring at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in 2014. She was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2016 after representing Illinois’s Eighth Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives for two terms.

In 2004, Duckworth was deployed to Iraq as a Blackhawk helicopter pilot for the Illinois Army National Guard. On November 12, 2004, her helicopter was hit by an RPG and she lost her legs and partial use of her right arm. Senator Duckworth spent the next year recovering at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where she quickly became an advocate for her fellow Soldiers. After she recovered, she became Director of the Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs, where she helped create a tax credit for employers that hire Veterans, established a first-in-the-nation 24/7 Veterans crisis hotline and developed innovative programs to improve Veterans’ access to housing and health care.

In the U.S. House, Duckworth served on the Armed Services Committee and was an advocate for working families and job creation, introducing bills like her bipartisan Friendly Airports for Mothers (FAM) Act to ensure new mothers have access to safe, clean and accessible lactation rooms when traveling through airports, which is now law. She helped lead passage of the bipartisan Clay Hunt SAV Act, which enhanced efforts to track and reduce Veteran suicides. She also passed the Troop Talent Act to help returning Veterans find jobs in the private sector and worked to cut waste and fraud at the Pentagon and throughout government, including passing a common-sense provision that was projected to save taxpayers $4 billion by reducing redundancy in military uniforms.

In the U.S. Senate, Duckworth advocates for practical, common-sense solutions needed to move our state and country forward like rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, protecting Illinoisans from lead poisoning, growing manufacturing jobs while supporting minority-owned small businesses, investing in communities that have been ignored for too long and making college more affordable for all Americans. She co-founded the Senate’s first-ever Environmental Justice Caucus and also continues her lifelong mission of supporting, protecting and keeping the promises we’ve made to our Veterans as well as ensuring that we stand fully behind the troops our nation sends into danger overseas. In 2018, after Duckworth became the first Senator to give birth while serving in office, she sent a message to working families across the country about the value of family-friendly policies by securing a historic rules change that allows Senators to bring their infant children onto the Senate floor.  As Senator, she advocates for practical, common-sense solutions needed to move our country and our state forward

Duckworth is fluent in Thai and Indonesian. She attended college at the University of Hawaii and earned a Master of Arts in International Affairs from the George Washington University. Following graduation, Duckworth moved to

Dr. Dudley discusses challenges of marriage and leading through it with authors and relationship experts Gil and Renee Beavers. Gil and Renée, are originally from Detroit, Michigan. Their Relationship started by Renée”s simple act of rolling her pencil off her desk and Gil picking it up. They never knew such a small action would create a 37 year legacy of love. Gil and Renée were only 21 when they happily committed to until death do us part. Gil is retired from the Air Force, and Renée is a former salon owner who has been an entrepreneur and now an author for over 30 years. They have lived in over 13 cities throughout the United States and Germany. They are proud parents to an amazing and talented daughter. They also adopted Renée’s little sisters after a family tragedy. Today they each have loving families of their own.

This couple has helped many other couples establish a new habit of love to strengthen their marriage relationship through their tested relationship tools and principles and as marriage facilitators through the Prepare and Enrich Marriage program. Their mission is to empower couples to get free of the pain from the past, and unforgiveness. Many couples are held hostage by resentment, shame, and uncommunicated expectations. Together, we can live lives filled will love and healthy relationships. Gil & Renée are on a mission to break the silence by empowering couples to build, repair, and restore healthy relationships by apply biblical principles.

Follow their podcast - RichRelationships 
Rich Relationship is a podcast, a Mobile App (Speak Freely with Gil&Renée). In October 2020, the Rich Relationships project will launch an anthology written by Gil & Renée, 16 couple, and two subject experts. Many marriages and families end in separation or divorce due to poor planning. A lack of support and being ill-equipped. The Rich Relationships project is more than a book, a Podcast, and an app. It’s a community, a safe place where couples can go for support, gain new tools, and to have healthy accountability.
