I'm a first-time mom of a little boy, who is 18 months old. My experience with healthcare during pregnancy and postpartum was not positive. I was always left wanting more information about health and fitness.  I ended up having a cesarean and never once saw my Doctor in the hospital. No education on healing, getting out of bed or caring for an infant with a new abdominal wound.  I'm fortunate to have my education in Physical Therapy. I cannot imagine how moms feel in my similar situation who don't have the knowledge to help themselves.  Having babies and parenting is hard. It takes a village as the adage, but some peoples' villages suck. I want to help if I can.  I chose to start my own business to combat some of the norms in America. Like needing to choose a career or family. I want to choose both. And provide a service that is friendly to moms. Not only a service that is needed or is lacking in today's healthcare, but try to eliminate barriers such as needing childcare to

My husband and I have a blended family.  A daughter each from previous marriages, 1 biological daughter, and 3 adopted boys.  We experienced a parent's biggest fear when we witnessed the accident that took our oldest daughter's life. We had to learn to parent to our grieving kids, while also grieving ourselves.  My book Victorious Heart details our story and offers helpful encouragement to others who are walking in grief.  IN HER WORDS: My name is Kim Peacock.  God has rescued me from myself more times than I can count, and I'm so thankful for His infinite grace and mercy in my life. My husband Larry and I have six amazingly, unique kids who have brought beautiful color to our lives.  Some of those kids are now gifting us with grandkids, who have us completely wrapped around their little fingers.  In 1998 our oldest daughter Nicole was killed in a tragic off-roading accident. When Nicole went to Heaven, darkness invaded our world, and we wondered if our family would survive the crushing pain of gr

I have three wonderful productive and kind young adult kids and raised them amidst a very contentious divorce where I got sole custody "pro se". I am not an attorney. I love being a dad I have over 30 years of experience in the technical staffing space as an owner/operator. I have generated over $75 million in revenue and have created 4 millionaires that I am aware of.  I built and sold 2 multimillion-dollar companies and have hired and trained hundreds of salespeople and recruiters. I found work for all three of my young adult children out of school and then helped them all start their own companies online.  I got sole custody of my 3 children representing myself in my divorce (I am not an attorney).  More recently I have transitioned into coaching in the career transition field. I am transparent about my wins and losses and all the struggles in between.  FIND HIM HERE: https://www.7pillarsglobal.com/about-me  https://www.7pillarsglobal.com  https://www.linkedin.com/in/aylwardmark/  https://www.quo

Over 44 years as a pediatrician, I have developed a keen awareness of parenting skills, raising our children to be good citizens, how to improve our communities, and advocating for children.  My books, MY CHILDREN'S CHILDREN: RAISING YOUNG CITIZENS IN THE AGE OF COLUMBINE,  ALL ABOUT CHILDREN (illustrated children's book),  THINKING DEVELOPMENTALLY: NURTURING WELLNESS IN CHILDHOOD TO PROMOTE LIFELONG HEALTH, and  CONSCIOUS PARENTING: USING THE PARENTAL AWARENESS THRESHOLD, provide an array of fertile material for a variety of discussions about parenting and the like.  Pediatrician and medical geneticist, Robert A Saul, MD, has been guiding parents and their children’s physical, behavioral, and mental care for over 40 years. He is Professor of Pediatrics (Emeritus). Dr. Bob Saul developed the Parental Awareness Threshold, a simple framework that guides parents and guardians to actively parent with self-awareness, empathy, and compassion. Parents who use this framework create a healthy environment where

Bronwyn is a psychotherapist, public speaker, podcaster, and parenting expert.    She went from not wanting kids to believing in an idealized parenting relationship that (of course) didn’t go to plan. At age 5 she emotionally abandoned her daughter, due to a 10-year bout with depression although she was going through the process of becoming a therapist. Her daughter is now an adult and they’re continuing to learn to have a positive relationship.  Angry at the Right Things podcast:  https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-3xcf8-13b6aff Anger, like fire, can burn down a house if out of control. Suppressed anger makes us sick – and it leaks out in ways that hurt the people who least deserve it. But fire can also purify and refine. Join licensed marriage and family therapist Bronwyn Schweigardt in a conversation about healthy ways to harness our anger for good.

28 years ago our first daughter was born. Gwendolyn has Down syndrome and has taken us on a wonderful journey. We struggled at times and now celebrate her independence journey which has culminated in continuing education beyond high school, work, independent housing, and self-advocacy. Most parents find independence for those with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities to be an overwhelming mystery.  My website (www.BeyondDownSyndrome.net) and book 'The Essential Guide for Families with Down Syndrome' provide guidance and resources so families can navigate the opportunities and challenges toward success.  This generation is the first that will outlive their parents/caregivers. This invites great opportunities and many challenges including health, financial, and housing. Regardless of your child's age, the time is now to build an independence plan to achieve your family's goals.  After 30 years in corporate America, I'm now an author seeking to share experience and guidance to se

I have two amazing girls at home, ages 18 months and 5. I grew up in a family that did foster care and childcare for much of my life, including the adoption of my littlest sister, who I helped raise while my father was away on military assignments.  The experience of being surrounded by small children made me realize that the most important job I could ever have would be to help guide a young life as they developed and grew. Moreover, I had a responsibility to make the world a better place for them than it was for me and to help them have a better life than I had been accorded.  I also work in the alcoholic beverage industry. My job is extremely demanding (60-hour weeks are the norm), necessitating a balance between my time with my family and what my company needs. It also means that my daughters have been raised around bars and breweries, something that would be anathema to my extended family that believes alcohol is the root cause of society's ills. It's been a challenge, but also one that I hope wi

Author Mandy Lemond is a former foster child turned Emmy Award-winning TV Producer.  At just 7 years old Lemond‘s father raped her and left her for dead, that same night, he murdered little Mandy's mother. Lemond's father's crime left the Kentucky native a true orphan.  Mandy aged out of foster care after spending more than 11 years in a group home. She recalls, “I went to college with $5 to my name." With the same tenacity Lemond used to overcome her childhood trauma, she graduated on time from Eastern Kentucky University and was immediately hired by the local NBC affiliate as a TV Reporter.  Lemond continued to beat the odds – statistically only 3% of foster youth have a college degree.  Mandy's life finally seemed perfect, until December 2020, when Lemond's foster-adopted son, high on drugs, shot into the wrong home. The unintended target nearly died, the gunfire blinding the then 5-year-old. Lemond’s nearly 20-year marriage crumbled. She found herself divorced, with a son in jail,
