From There, To Here

Shannon and Jess

The most important factor to a healthy well-being is feeling connected. From There, To Here is a podcast that will infuse strength, positivity and a sense of community into your life. We discuss significant topics that explore our personal journeys From There, To Here, as well as feature insightful guests’ stories.
Meet Shannon

Shannon is an anxiety driven, overthinking, perfectionist who stresses over not b eing perfect. She is blessed to be a mom of three miracles. Her oldest is adopted out of the foster care system. After 11 dark years of infertility, she was surprised with a twin pregnancy. Shannon turned in her special education teacher hat to fulfill her dream career as a behavioral and educational consultant.

Meet Jess

Jess is a teacher at heart and a natural leader. Her goal is to leave sparkles of positivity wherever she goes. The practice of finding joy hasn't always been easy - from loving and leaving an addict, to finding self-love and new love, to navigating a nightmare of an adoption process - she is stronger for enduring challenges and is now living her own dream life. Much of her time is spent with her son, but her life wouldn’t be complete without also contributing to the field of education in various ways.

From There, To Here - 40. Guest Interview with Amanda - Legacy of a Late Husband
play

02/19/24 • 49 min

Imagine being 4 months pregnant, having a toddler at home and your husband suddenly and unexpectedly passes away. This was the reality for our guest in this episode. As parents, we often find ourselves pondering the legacy we will leave behind for our children once we are no longer here. In this episode, we have the privilege of interviewing Amanda, the owner of Small Legacies. Amanda sheds light on the intricate topic of death and dying, as she bravely shares the heart-wrenching tale of how her late husband departed this world.

Amanda opens up about the factors that aided her in moving forward and reconstructing her life, refusing to let her late husband's death define her family. She candidly reveals to our hosts how she continues to honor his memory even seven years later. However, Amanda's journey doesn't end there. She has also managed to manifest her dreams and achieve a significant goal – delivering a powerful speech at TEDxOshkosh. Her talk centers around the defense of participation awards, as she passionately argues that "everyone is going through a battle you can't see." Drawing from personal experience, she recounts the challenging first day she returned to work after losing her beloved husband.

Through Amanda's story, we are reminded of the resilience of the human spirit and the strength it takes to rebuild after tragedy strikes. Her journey serves as an inspiration to all who have faced adversity, showing us that even in our darkest moments, there is hope for a brighter future.

Hosts Jess and Shannon interview Noah, an autistic adult. Noah joins the hosts for an in depth interview. He hopes by sharing his voice he can give hope to those just starting out on their autism journey. Noah was diagnosed with autism at the age of two and a half. Overtime, it became apparent to him that he was different from his peers. Noah shares his story of growing up, shedding light on the complexities of navigating a world that often fails to comprehend neurodiversity. He talks about his perspectives of school, including how others treated him and activities he participated in. Eventually, Noah came to understand that he has autism. He shares his struggles, hopes, dreams, and goals for the future. Listeners will find out what Noah is up to now, as an adult. Noah asks listeners to not make judgments solely based on disability labels because labels do not define us.
