Happy Easter! In this epidsode we talk with our dear friend Laurie who opens up and shares her very personal journey of how she came closer to Jesus Christ.  Laurie shares with us how we can walk daily with Him and about "divine orchestrating" or how we can see God's hand in our daily lives. 
We also discuss Easter traditions and how to make Easter truely centered on Jesus Christ. In addition we also discuss our church's semi annual General Conference,  and which talks stood out to us and why. (please note: it was recorded last April).

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 46.4% of adults are single. Population trends are similar worldwide. While there are different demographics within being "Single" such as Divorced, Widowed and Never Married and each have unique challenges, there is much overlap.  In this episode we talk to Sarah who is single and has never been married. Sarah has an amazing perspective on life and shares with us her challenges and blessings.  Any of us who have experienced life not going the way we may have planned or expected can relate to this and benefit from Sarah's positive outlook on life and how she has made her life beautiful. Sarah also shares with us ways that those of us who are not single can be supportive to our friends and family members who are single.
We are so grateful to Sarah for talking with us and sharing her experiences and wisdom! We learned so much from her! She is amazing!!

For anyone who may be single and not have a support network you can go to 
https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/welcome/find-a-church?lang=eng   
to find your local ward or branch of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and call the Bishop who will have ways that you can receive support. We don't want anyone to feel alone.  You are loved and needed!

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - ADHD  (also now known as Neurodivergent), has become very common, especially with the increase in screen time. It can be challenging, whether you have it yourself or you are parenting a child with ADHD.  In this episode we talk to Jamie (M.Ed), a licensed clinical mental health counselor who specializes in educational, behavioral, and childhood trauma issues. Jamie shares her knowledge and experience with us and discusses that though ADHD can be challenging, both for the child and the parent, there can also be great blessings.  
A special thank you to Jamie!
