When Your TikTok Goes Viral Mar 26, 2023

Show notes

Shortly after we lost Hallie, we wanted to reach young kids to educate them on relationship red flags and gun safety. Where do all the young kids hang out? Tiktok.
Angie created several videos like the Honor walk, Relationship Red Flags, and Gun Safety. They blew up. The kids kept saying...Mom/Ang you're going viral!!! They might be jealous of her following.
As we shared last week, we are trying to find purpose through the pain in the midst of this extreme heartache. Heather Pettey (who was recently on our podcast) reached out to Angie in January after watching her TikTok and asked her to be on the Life Coach BFF Podcast that she hosts.
In today's episode, we share that podcast with Angie and Heather covering Gun Safety and Relationship Red Flags that you do NOT want to miss!

"No" is a Complete Sentence. Mar 05, 2023

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

"No" can be a tricky word to say. We have both struggled to say no to people, events, work, and kids. Sometimes life throws unimaginable curveballs that force you with no other option than to say No.
Tune in as we discuss how to say no, when to say yes, and the value each of those simple words brings!
Thanks for listening!
Love,
Aric & Angie
P.S. Sometimes, we are in a groove when recording, and this time we were not. Angie was having a rough, emotional night, and we clawed our way through it.

"Climbing Out of the Hole" with Michael Egnew Feb 05, 2023

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

Grab your family and tune into this episode!
We truly believe that for any of us to survive and thrive that we need to surround ourselves with good people...
Someone that Aric has surrounded himself with in the last year is his trainer Michael Egnew. He pushes him and the kids to have a POSITIVE mindset every time they work out.
Michael has lived one of the more difficult lives although as he shares with us he doesn't feel that way. His perspective on life is something to admire.
As we visited with Michael, we felt truly inspired and we hope that you will feel the same way too! Let's keep climbing!
Thanks for Listening!
Love,
Aric & Angie

The Thief Jan 22, 2023

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

Every week we deal with a whirlwind of emotions. Some days an emotion is stronger than others. This week, anger has been at the forefront.
A wise man was asked, "What is Anger?" He gave a beautiful answer. It's a punishment we give to ourselves for somebody else's mistake. And that's exactly what it feels like to us.
Listen to this week's episode as we share our anger and how we are processing the hurt and the frustration of THE THIEF.
Thanks for listening.
Love,
Aric & Angie
