Maria and Sherri have an interesting conversation with artist, self-relationship guide, and Jui- Jitsu instructor, Maurice Hunter. Maurice resides in the Panhandle of Florida and on his own journey of exploration, he found the concept of Selflove . Yes, spelled as one word and you will understand why after listening. Maurice explains how he came to the realization of this concept that started with a letter to his daughter. Selflove is an idea of exploration and consideration of how to change inner dialogue and the role we all play in controlling our own thoughts and emotions as well as our reactions and responses. We could all give ourselves and others a little grace and Selflove.
You can connect with Maurice through Instagram - #evolfleS Project

Join Sherri and Maria for a great conversation with USMC SSgt (RET) Timothy Brown. Tim talks about joining the military , the raw and honest reality of war, and being severely wounded in February of 2011. Tim has not allowed his injuries to define him, as a triple amputee, he has overcome so much over the past ten years and is focused on future goals. Determined to get out of the hospital bed, a long recovery and rehabilitate, he took advantage of opportunities such as hand cycling. This game changing activity prompted him to pursue a Business Degree from Georgetown University. Tim has been influenced by the work of various non-profit over the years, and hopes to give back using his personal experience and education to help others. This interview is as real as it gets. Keep on keeping on Tim!!!

Join Sherri for a great discussion with Director of Echo Hill Ranch, Marcie Friedman, and Bobby McBride, Military Outreach Volunteer. Marcie talks about the long history of Echo Hill and how her parents started the ranch in 1953 in the small town of Medina, Texas; they had a love for children and provided a rich environment for kids to thrive. This year, the ranch has re-opened with the help of her brother, Kinky Friedman and so many wonderful volunteers. Bringing life back to Echo Hill has been done with compassion and care and held their first camp session called Trailblazers. They will offer two more this year that will host Gold Star children. Marcie and her team take a different approach as they believe that a military child that has lost a parent, no matter the cause, should have an opportunity to connect with others who may share a similar story. This rustic ranch, nestled in the valley of Echo Hill has over 200 acres, and is still very much in the 1950's original setting. All of which allows children to get back to the basics of just being a kid; time to disconnect from technology and explore the acreage, make new friendships, learn a few skills and make some lasting memories. In fact, Echo Hill is unique in if a child attends camp one year, they are guaranteed a spot the following year should they desire to come back. You won't want to miss this great conversation, and have a chance to hear from the great people who are running it.
