"There's such an immense feeling of peace when you’re on the property... It’s nothing like we envisioned as far as our retirement plan but it’s everything I wanted and more now. I love the work on the property, I love the physical work of it, I love being in the property, I love even the challenges and mistakes because we’re learning some shit that we’ve never would’ve learned before.”- Shannon

“We bought a 46-acre ranch in Texas and we are in the process of building out a retreat center on most of the land... I thought we’d just share our story of how we got to this point and the challenges along the way.”

Children coming out to parents about being gay isn’t always an easy thing. While some are okay with it, there will always be others who are opposed to the idea.

But like it or not, there is always a possibility that your child may be gay and this is what we want to share in our episode today.

Our very special guest is my 18-year-old daughter Nyla. She will be sharing her experience with you on how it was for her to come out to us, her parents, as well as to other family members and friends. She also shares her journey from how she knew to now that she’s living with her girlfriend.

If you are a parent, Nyla also shares her thoughts on how to approach talking to children about the topic. It’s a super informative episode that will touch and open your minds and hearts.

HHP 122 What You Go Through You Grow Through

A lot has happened over the last week and this is what we’re going to share with you in this episode. Lots of updates on what’s happening, the struggles and bumps we’ve gone through, updates on the ranch, future plans and the lessons we’ve learned along the way.

We’ve realized so many things, but the most important one of all is that these challenges just make us better and stronger everyday.

We share the problem we had with Pax, our horse.
The wins we’ve had over the last few weeks.
Latest updates on the ranch and the future plans on our drawing board.
The lessons we’ve learned throughout the experience.

“Each challenge has come with a reward. It doesn’t just add things that we have to do, it changes our priorities.”

“At the end of the day, everything works out. It’s like the growing pains of a human. I think because we’re pushing and growing, we’re learning and maybe even making a deeper belief that is what we go through and when things happen that stop us or derail us, we get stronger for it. The grounds get better, we get better, and at the end of the day, what a great problem to have. Because 2 years ago we wouldn’t have these problems because we didn’t have this opportunity.”
