You guys, we have such an amazing guest to share with you this week. Karen tells us her story about her son Kyle passing away. She walks us through what he was like growing up. The trials he had gone through in life and what he had to overcome. His love for football, and how much the game meant to him. Karen tells us about the days leading up to Kyle's passing, and what life was like after.

We loved hearing Karen talk about the amazing person that Kyle was and how he loved big, and lived big. As Karen spoke about Kyle, you could feel the love that she had for him. She was meant to tell his story, and we love that we get to share it with all of you.

In honor of Kyle,

LOVE BIG

LIVE BIG

Our guest Tammie is an incredible woman. She has been through so much heartbreak in her life and is here today to tell us what she has learned through it some of it.

Tammie had been a nurse for 30 years and currently works in the ICU where she sometimes has to take care of patients with addiction - which coincidently is what her daughter has battled with for the past 13 years. Tammie first discovered her daughters addiction when she found her lifeless body in their home.

Tammie is such an advocate for treating anyone and everyone as an important human being. No matter what the story is behind the reason for someone's struggles. Tammie works with the homeless as well and teaches us a few things about their lifestyle, which was such good knowledge!

Tammie and her husband have started a woodworking business, where some of the proceeds from each beautiful handmade cutting board that is sold, go to help fund and assist addicts in their recovery. For more information about their business go to https://www.etsy.com/shop/WasatchArtisan

This weeks episode has been in the works for a while. We knew that we needed to find a couple who has not only been through what these 2 have been through, but they both choose each other, every day.

This episode has been a top requested episode and we found the perfect couple. Ashley and Chris come on the podcast and tell their story of a pornography addiction that led to infidelity.

One of the reasons why I loved recording this episode was because they BOTH choose to fight for the marriage every day. Ashley takes us on her journey of finding her husband's pornography on his computer while they are at a family reunion. She tells us about her darkest moment's and fighting for not only her marriage, but herself!

Chris talks to us about his childhood and what led him to his addiction. Chris gives us insight into his addiction by choosing to be vulnerable on this episode and I believe that because of this it will help someone who needs to hear it.

I'm so proud of these two, who may not have had the perfect story like they had hoped, but how they choose to make their own story perfect for them.
