Anne Barnes talks about her unbelievable journey through 3 miscarriages that lead to her now happy, healthy, and nearly finished pregnancy.
The pain of a miscarriage is a pain that Anne Barnes of Towanda, IL (formerly Anne Garcia of Fairbury, IL) knows all too well. She has experienced the heartbreak of losing a baby during pregnancy an astounding three times in her still marriage of just under three years. By the grace of God, however, Anne is now, for the first time in her life, healthily pregnant and entering the 3rd trimester (over 6 months)!
In this conversation, Anne bravely walks us through her journey, the medical reasons for her failed pregnancies, the feelings and emotions she felt after her first, second, and third failed pregnancies, her battles with her faith, and her husband’s role throughout the process, and much more. I deeply admire Anne’s bravery in coming onto my show to discuss her very personal experience, and I also love her very much and am proud to call her my sister.
Anne’s story is one of incredible sadness and even more incredible hope, faith, and even a miracle! She and her husband, Patrick, visited The National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help in New Franken, Wisconsin after a long bout of miscarrying and failing to get pregnant. The two are devout Catholics and credit this pregnancy to God firstly, and also to the Blessed Virgin Mary's prayers for them. Their story is sure to tug on your heartstrings and lift your spirits.

The Paul Garcia Show - #18 Joe Sieving | Child Prodigy & Plant Enthusiast
play

01/03/21 • 48 min

Joe Sieving is known by thousands as a former PE Teacher and Track Coach at Prairie Central.
What he's less commonly known as is a former child prodigy, a lightning strike survivor, and a full-on vegan.
In this episode, Joe and I discuss his wildly fascinating life thus far. From his days of being in a government-ran organization designed to find and train ultra-intelligent kids, to his extremely emotional and eventful college years, to his near-death experience with a lightning strike, to his full-on lifestyle switch where he went from eating mostly eat to eating nothing but plant-based foods!
Joe's a great man that I've admired since my youth. I'm very pleased to share this story with everyone in the area.
As always I'd like to say thank you to this show's amazing sponsors!

The Paul Garcia Show - #5 Megan Rafferty | Owner & Founder of Picnics By Meg
play

10/25/20 • 29 min

Picnics by Meg is a beloved small business that organizes and builds beautiful, rustic style picnics at any location, for any occasion and any size of group. As a client of theirs, all you show up and enjoy your gorgeous and delicious picnic with whomever you want, and then, you leave.

How it works is: A member of the Picnics by Meg team shows up prior to your scheduled picnic time and sets everything up for you. Your venue's complete with chalkboards, lights, blankets, wood crates, placemats, everything! And then, when you’re done having a great time, you just get up and leave and they come and clean everything up. Just like going out to eat, only no one comes and asks you to pay the bill.
It’s a beautiful concept, but a process that is extremely hard to nail. Well, Megan and her team have nailed it. In less than a year of existing they’ve already done over 100 picnics in the Livingston Co. and Mclean Co. areas! As I said, they’re beloved. Everyone in the area wants to book a picnic by Picnics by Meg! These picnics have been host to tons of dreamy dates and plenty of birthday parties, some people have even proposed at their picnics by Meg, and one person even gave birth at her picnic!!!
Okay no one has given birth yet, but everything else is true! They’re the perfect service for every occasion. I’m so excited to be talking with the owner and founder of this great business today, a personal friend, Megan Rafferty.
---
In this episode, we'll discuss the origins of Picnics by Meg, the stress that came with its development, and her plans for the future.

You've seen his signs in clean yards throughout the tri-county area, "GOMEZ LAWN CARE - High-Quality Satisfaction". However, his story of being born in a foreign country, working with his Dad at 8 years old at a meat packing plant, and founding his now locally renowned lawncare company at 16 with just a push mower, is all far less well known than his company name. On this episode of The Paul Garcia Show, Luis Gomez humbly shares the roots of his passion for lawn care, his belief that children of Mexican immigrants work exceptionally hard, and even some of his tried and true business practices. Luis is a very good young man who I'm happy to call my friend. Thank you for sharing your story, Luis!
About Gomez Lawn Care (From their site):
Since 2018, Gomez Lawn Care has built a reputation of reliability and value. Luis Gomez-Reyes, the founder of GLC, undertook this business in high school and it grew continuously. We are originally located in Forrest, Il, but service surrounding areas as well.​ Luis generally manages the business but his girlfriend and other family members help out at their leisure. There have been a few part-time helpers but no one is permanent yet. In the future, we aim to grow our team. We understand that maintaining your yard can be challenging and takes up a significant part of your valuable time. We strive to provide you with high-quality work to keep you satisfied and to allow you to have that extra time back.
