  • The Passion Meets Purpose Series • #ONE: Ava Viohl - Founder of Unbeauty Mark
    Today’s episode marks the start of a new collection of content. 
    Introducing WonderFilledWeek presents: The Passion Meets Purpose Series. (PxP)
    These episodes will spotlight people who have found what they are passionate about in life and converted that into a mission for their life’s work. 
    PxP #ONE: Guest - Ava Viohl 
    At only 16 years old, Ava gave a TEDx Talk about how societal pressures and the media’s narrow view of beauty contributed to her negative body image and eating disorder in middle school. Now 18, Ava is using her experience and platform to educate and inspire others with her organization Unbeauty Mark where she encourages people of all walks of life to celebrate their unbeauty marks, or what societal standards may deem flaws. Ava believes that there is more than one definition of Beauty and we should learn to see and celebrate this truth. Please enjoy this conversation with Ava Viohl!

  • The 65 Roses Series: Chapter V • The Trilogy
    Cystic Fibrosis (or 65 Roses to kids with CF who can't quite pronounce such a scientific term) is a progressive terminal illness that is genetically transmitted. CF primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. The body produces thick and sticky mucus that can clog the lungs and obstruct the pancreas. Cystic Fibrosis can be life-threatening, and people with the condition tend to have a shorter-than-normal life span.
    This is a basic definition of Cystic Fibrosis. The scientific definition. A definition that fails to even scrape the surface of this illness.
    In order to better explain just what CF is and how it affects the lives of the patients who live with it and the people who love them - I decided to speak to two families who have been directly impacted by this illness: The Higginbothams and The Corrys.
    The Higginbothams you will be hearing from: Steve, Ellen Ann, Kate, Meg, Matthew and Sandra (Matthew's wife)
    The Corrys you will be hearing from: Jack, Toni, John-Patrick, Ryan, Mary and Kaitlyn (Me! - Ryan's wife)
    Each person has a unique perspective on CF and is here to share their personal experiences and raise awareness!
    The 65 Roses Series will be 5 parts:
    Chapter I • A Mother's Love ft. Ellen Ann Higginbotham & Toni Corry
    Chapter II • A Father's Bond ft. Steve Higginbotham & Jack Corry
    Chapter III • My First Friends: A Sibling's Perspective ft. Kate Higginbotham, Meg Higginbotham, John-Patrick Corry & Mary (Corry) Field
    Chapter IV • In Sickness and In Health: A Wife's Persective ft. Sandra Higginbotham & Kaitlyn Corry
    Chapter V • The Trilogy: Direct from the Patient ft. Matthew Higginbotham & Ryan Corry
