  • CO-PARENTING

    This woman is the epitome of a good co-parent. From the very beginning of my divorce journey, she was an example to me that everything can be okay if you proceed as mature adults and keep the kids your top priority.

    I’ve witnessed her ex and her new husband all come together to support the kids, but her words of wisdom go even deeper than that. From holidays to bouncing kids back and forth, to having a relationship with your ex’s family, she’s got it down!

    If you are a co-parent or if you know someone who is co-parenting please listen to Keesha’s message. I promise it’s worth every second.

  • AUTISM & A BRAIN ANEURYSM

    I first met Jennifer Claassen through an incredible program called “Miss Amazing.” The program gives women with special needs the opportunity to experience pageantry. Jennifer was the director and we connected over having sons on the Autism Spectrum.

    Shortly after our first conversation, I learned that Jennifer had suffered a brain aneurysm and was lucky to be alive.

    She is one of the strongest women I have ever met. She’s an advocate, a hero to many, and living proof that with a little love, hope, and faith you can get through anything. This is her story.

  • THE DOUBLE D'S: DIVORCE AND DIAGNOSIS
    I’ve known Ammie for over thirty years. She’s been through a lot. She’s inspired and strengthened me in some of my darkest days and yet she’s just like so many of us in being overly critical and feeling inadequate. Trust me, she is one of the best people I’ve ever met and I am honored to call her my friend. She sent me in part this message after our interview and if you read it you’ll know why I think so highly of her. (p.s. I didn’t even get her permission to share this, but her words were so powerful that I knew they had to be heard. Sorry, Ammie if you don’t forgive me!)

  • THE BABY'S COMING TOO EARLY
    This is by far the most vulnerable interview I have ever conducted. I tried to bury my childhood for many years. Just so you know, that doesn’t work. It played a big role in me not having a successful marriage down the road and bled into every other aspect of my life. I was running away from everything I was and everything I didn’t want to be. I had to confront all of those demons before I could get to a good place within myself.

  • INSTANT FAMILY

    When I worked with Nicole I thought she had the perfect family and the perfect life. It wasn’t until I ran into her in the bathroom one day that she stunned me with the news that her son was in a full-time treatment facility in a different state.

    After a long battle with infertility, her family began by adopting a six-year-old little boy who had already lived through the unimaginable. That was just the beginning in a series of heartbreaking twists and turns that will leave you with a whole lot of hope and a refreshing perspective on what family is really all about.

  • I AM NOT GETTING MARRIED TODAY

    I was supposed to be a married woman today. That’s not happening.

    Seven months ago I was dumped. It came out of left-field and I was devastated. We were high school sweethearts and had our life planned out. To me, our life was perfect. I found out, it wasn’t.
