Buckle Up because in this this episode we go all out on how Brandy found closure and peace with her dad and why Brian is grateful she got it all out of her system with her ex's. The reunion with her dad was a bumpy one at first but like she says in the episode, 'she couldn't have script it any better'. So if you want to get rid of that baggage and take that leap of faith to find closure with that someone or someones we think her story will help free up that 9-year-old kid living in your grown-ass body.
But first we'll be starting off the episode with how we're both dealing with high cholesterol and just the reality if being...middle aged...is that what this is? You tell us! Take a moment to think about what health issues you're dealing with and be open to get checked, get those test results and do something about it. It's great to be alive and even better to be alive longer for those we love. Happy Listening!

How We Met, Dealbreakers & Love Thy Neighbor: Why Is America Gun Crazy?

How did we start this conversation with laughing about how we met to celebrating 10 years of marriage to making sense of gun violence? By being open and honest. Let's be real, it's been a tough couple weeks with all the shootings happening in our country because someone simply knocked on the wrong door or drove up the wrong drive way. It's been hard kissing our son off to school but we still muster up the strength in front of him and hide the tears behind our eyes. Can you relate?
In this episode we try and do our part to honor the victims of these senseless gun acts from these past couple weeks by saying their names. Reminding ourselves that their lives mattered and that their deaths and traumatic injuries will not go in vain. We also bring up special memories of how we met to also remind ourselves of the sweet side of life. Remember when that special someone had a twinkle in their eye or when your heart fluttered when they walked in the room? Let us all be reminded of the best parts of humanity and what's possible when we fight for one another to live freely in our society; once we go back to 'Loving Thy Neighbor'. Happy Listening!

Higher Learning, Military As A Path To College & Why The Dumbing Down of America?

This episode was a tough one to edit as Brandy takes it to heart. It’s packed with much insight, frustration yet the hope that we can all come together as one America with all facets of our history represented. As Florida state colleges and universities are being targeted by eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs we break down why these initiatives are important and critical to our growth.
As Brandy gives ode to her alma mater, Boston College, she's reminded of the amazing friendships and rich experiences that expanded her mind and fueled her soul. Brian shares how his pathway to college was through the military and reveals something new to her that is also a reminder of why higher education is just one way to change minds and change hearts.
Even though one went to college the traditional route and an unconventional route they both knew that higher learning may not be for everyone but it was the best decision for both of them. Happy Listening!
