In this week's episode I interview my mom, Melissa Rose. She discusses how she loved well in the midst of her time as an educator in the inner city and drawing inspiration from her mom and dad. It is an absolute gift for me to have this recording and know that it's here for my grandkids to hear their Mimi's heart. I hope you enjoy the conversation!

In this week's episode we look at the power of words with my good friend Shaheen. There are few people who speak words of encouragement as well as Shaheen. If you walk into our local Middle School and she is walking down the hall you will shouts of, "Mrs E!" 

I hope you enjoy this week's episode!

Please consider sharing, rating, and commenting! Thanks!

This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Laura VanZomeren. She's an amazing woman within our community. Laura has a passion for bringing to people together to have fun. Most of the most fun experiences I've had since living here have been events that Laura has planned. I hope that you will catch her infectious joy and love of fun in our conversation. 

As always, please comment, rate, and share! Thanks!

In this week's episode I chop it up with Nathan Soos, a teacher and coach from Lincoln Middle School. He's a guy that embodies what it means to love well. I hope that you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. I loved what he had to say about love being the root of all the things that are good in this life. 

Check out the Soos Playlist on Spotify for tunes that he listens to help him continue to love well: #LoveWell with Nathan Soos

This week I sat down with my good friend, Jennifer Gorman to talk about what it means to love well. She is an avid volunteer and serves some of the most needy in her profession. One of the things that really hit home for me was that Jennifer made the point that to love well we need to live transparent lives. I hope that you find this conversation as fun as I did!

Jennifer and Jeffrey just launched a business with Tastefully Simple, I'd encourage you to check out their store.

In the season premiere of #LoveWell I interviewed Robert Norris. He's a volunteer extraordinaire and all around great husband, dad, and friend. There are few people who are more loving and caring than Rob. We talk quite a bit about what it means to be intentional and the joy of hospitality. 

Be sure to check out Rob's required listening to help you put on your love goggles, Beyonce's "I am...World Tour", over on Spotify.
