I hope you enjoy this very open and honest conversation between two friends intent on working toward their highest selves. I am so thankful to exist in this podcast space where I can have these types of conversations. The whole reason I started this show last year was to achieve exactly that. My wish is that it will build courage in you, my listener to do the same thing in your own life. We need connection and the secret to finding greater connection is to start within. I love you! Thank you for being here and sharing this experience with me. I'm truly grateful.

This is a must listen and  a must share. Such an inspiring person to call my friend. Williamson's journey is a testament to the capacity for resilience, compassion, and empowerment. His story isn't about rising from the rubble; it's about soaring to new heights, leaving an indelible mark on the world, and inspiring generations to come.  I encourage you to read his book, Rising From The Rubble and go follow his non-profit organization ariseprojects.org to learn more. I hope you feel inspired in your own way to rise above the worst things that happen to you and find that great purpose inside you.

Unexpectedly Yours,

Neeley

Jesika Gilmore is married to the love of her life, Cameron. They are  a blended family and have been together for about 8 years. Their children are amazing but they have 4 PERFECT grandchildren who make the world go round!!! Sawyer, Knoxx, Scarlett, and Jrue. 

Jesika has lived in several areas of the country and currently resides in Utah, which is her favorite so far!

She has experienced a lot of life and has many experiences that have shaped and molded her into who she is today. The hard times are never fun but in hindsight, she is grateful for it all because she wouldn't be who she is without them.

I really enjoyed my conversation with Jesika. She had some beautiful experiences to share how her and Cam brought their family together. 

Please welcome, Jesika Gilmore.

This week is my 27th wedding anniversary so I just thought it would be fun to share how I met my husband, Eli. Here's my side of the story along with some insights on why I think it works for us. It's always a little scary for me to share so openly about my personal life. It's part of getting myself to truly open up and be more vulnerable. It's a practice. Thank you for indulging me and thank you so much for listening. Love you all.

Unexpectedly Yours,

Neeley

Please welcome the amazing Phoebe to the show today. It's so hard for me not to just front load the show with all of my incredible family members. I have to practice patience and space them out but let me tell you I'm so excited to share this heart-felt conversation with you. It's vulnerable, real, and it's going to be a treasured episode for me for sure. I hope you enjoy it. Please, please, please, share this episode and any of your favorites with your friends and family. It's the only way I know to grow the pod and reach more people like you. Thank you for your support and listening. If you would please click 5 stars or write a review on Apple/ITunes or share it to your instagram stories and tag me, I would be forever grateful. 

Unexpectedly Yours,

Neeley
