We recorded this episode about two weeks ago and the CDC has come out with new data.  At the time of our interview, autism prevalence was 1:54 but the newest data is 1:44 children have autism.  Autism has increased 241%.  The Autism Hero Project is here to help children, families, and our community.  Awareness is key.  Early and consistent therapies as well as other resources are needed and the Autism Hero Project is tackling this need in our community.  Please head to their website www.autismheroproject.org and follow them on instagram @autismheroproject and facebook The Autism Hero Project

Robyn White knew she wanted a flexible work schedule so that she could be home with her children.  She joined Thirty-One Gifts to help reach that goal.  As her business has grown, so has her beautiful family.  Robyn and her husband, Kevin, knew that adoption would be part of their story.  Their adoption journey blessed them with their third daughter.  Growing a business and growing a family can be difficult but there is so much good in the hard.

Thanksgiving is a time for sharing a table with the people we are thankful for and today we welcome you to our table as we chat about past Thanksgivings...food, traditions, and memories.  

Do you ever meet someone and think "they have lived through so many things in one life?" Well, that is how Lisa and I felt after meeting and speaking to Dr. Angela Freehill Brown.  She is an orthopaedic surgeon, mom, wife, blogger, entrepreneur and breast cancer warrior.  She has mastered medical school, infertility, and breast cancer.  And, more than all of that, she is willing to inspire and help you with her story. 

We often hear that kids are resilient, and they can be, but they aren't immune to stress and anxiety.   Ally Guimaray gives us a peek into the mental health world of adolescence and the importance of supporting and connecting with our children.  

What movies do you like?  What books do you enjoy?  Who influences you? We had so much fun discussing our favorite movies, books, family activities, influencers, and more! We would love to hear about your favorites! Comment on our facebook page or instagram and let us know what you love! 

Winnie Wiegel graciously shares her family's story of great loss.  Their journey of unbearable pain has taught them to appreciate the aspects of life that truly matter.  We are so thankful for her transparency and vulnerability.  We are confident that her story will comfort and encourage others suffering from miscarriage and stillbirth.

Lindsey invites us along on their family's journey with hypoplastic left heart syndrome.  From the time the doctors told them of Levi's condition to present day...we get to hear it all.  Also, Lindsey gives us insight into acceptance of your circumstances, faith, and organizations that helped them along the way.  SomeassemblyrequiredCCU.org helps cardiac families in their moment of need by providing parking passes for free.  And, Ronald McDonald House Charities and their great service to families.

Lisa shares with us her mother's battle with two types of cancer.  A mother's story told by her daughter with true transparency along with deep sorrow and grief.  God promises to be with us during our suffering but the pain of grief is so palpable.  We can still hold onto our Faith and still know that God is good even in the unthinkable difficulties of life.
