Sarah Spurlock: On Advocating for our Kids

Sarah Spurlock is a mother of a 10 year old boy through adoption, a family and marriage therapist, the owner of a multi-therapist counseling business, the wife of a pastor, and a long time friend of mine. Sarah is the kind of person I would describe as being a bulldog - she doesn’t take no for an answer and that comes especially with her child. She will teach us how to become advocates for our kids and our loved ones through never accepting no for an answer. We could all benefit from becoming a little more like Sarah.
