The Real Lydia (Plath) Wyse: Filming on TLC, Meeting Zac, & a Whirlwind Relationship | Ep.54 Call Your Sister 2025-07-23 | Are the Plaths basically the Duggars? Do they share the same beliefs, values, and lifestyle? In this episode, Lydia Plath — now Lydia Wyse — joins us with her husband Zac to answer that and more.Lydia gives us a rare, behind-the-scenes look at her childhood: the farm life, food storage, shower schedules, and quiet emotional world she grew up in. She opens up about her family’s unique beliefs, their motivation for off-grid living, and what emotional connection looked like (or didn’t) in the Plath home.Then things take a turn — Zac enters the picture. From meeting at church in Colorado to a sunrise mountain hike, a spontaneous dance in the road, and a whirlwind love story that led to a quick marriage, they walk us through the real story — including the drama that came with getting married so fast.AVA: Ava is a credit-building app that makes it super simple to improve your credit FAST, so you can get better rates on loans, pay off debt faster, and keep more money in your pocket.

Joys Secret First Crush Was... | Ep.2 Call Your Sister 2026-09-16 | This week on Call Your Sister, Joy and I are getting into some seriously embarrassing territory: our awkward teenage phase. We're talking bad fashion choices (hello, giant hand-me-down t-shirts and my infamous green linen tunic-over-skirt look — the one I was wearing the day I met Jeremy), disastrous hair experiments, and the crunchy-mousse curls and hairspray-soaked ponytails that may or may not have caused permanent damage.We also get into the deeper stuff — how we each struggled to figure out who we really were as teenagers, jumping between personas, and how insecurity showed up differently for each of us. Joy opens up about a season where she equated spirituality with being "zero fun," and how her motivations for things like reading through the Bible in two months weren't always as pure as she thought at the time — but how God used it anyway. I share what it was like dealing with body changes, comparison, and dressing for comfort over style because I didn't feel confident in my own skin.If you ever wore something you cringe at now, went through a hair phase you'd rather forget, or spent your teenage years trying to figure out who you actually were underneath the persona, this episode is going to feel very relatable.🎧 New episodes of Call Your Sister with Joy and Jinger every week — subscribe so you don't miss out!00:00:00 - Our Awkward Teenage Years00:01:06 - Embarrassing Fashion and Hair Choices00:07:49 - Trying to Find an Identity00:11:56 - Performative Spirituality and Reading the Bible00:16:52 - Body Image and Finding a Personal Style00:22:13 - Awkwardness Around Boys00:27:35 - Keeping Crushes Secret00:29:48 - The First Crush00:34:06 - Awkwardly Rejecting a Boy00:36:08 - The Volleyball Incident00:38:17 - Self-Tanner Disasters00:40:24 - Makeup, Confidence, and True Beauty00:44:37 - Looking Back at Teenage Photos00:46:24 - More Teenage Hair and Fashion Trends00:49:54 - Growing Out of Awkwardness00:52:06 - Giving Teenagers GraceOUR INCREDIBLE SPONSORS:COZY EARTH: Luxury Shouldn’t Be Out of Reach.

Joy’s Pregnant! Also, We Have a New Podcast | Ep.1 Call Your Sister 2026-09-09 | Welcome to the very first episode of the Call Your Sister Podcast! We can’t believe we’re finally saying that.In this episode, we’re sharing how a casual FaceTime conversation between sisters turned into a brand-new podcast and why Joy and I decided this was the right time to do it. We talk about what you can expect from Call Your Sister, some of the fun things we have planned, and why we want this show to feel like you’re jumping onto one of our regular sister FaceTime calls with us.But starting a new podcast isn’t even the biggest news of the episode: Joy is pregnant with BABY #4! We talk about how she told me, why this pregnancy has felt so different, and what it’s like stepping back into the baby stage after a bigger age gap.That leads us into a much deeper conversation about something we both had to rethink as adults: how many children should you have? Growing up, we both assumed that having as many children as possible was simply what you were supposed to do. We talk about questioning those childhood teachings, what Scripture actually says about children and family, and how we’ve learned to approach those decisions with our husbands through prayer, wisdom, and without fear.Then we lighten things up with some sister talk about Type A vs. Type B moms, perfectly organized refrigerators, dishes sitting in the sink, the pressure to have everything together when you’re hosting, and how social media can make it feel like everyone else is doing motherhood better than you.We also reveal just how much we actually text and FaceTime each other, confess how terrible we both can be at responding to messages, and talk about why we decided to make room for this podcast.This is the beginning of something new, and we’re so excited to have you here. Think of Call Your Sister as an hour every week to sit down, catch up, laugh, talk honestly about life, motherhood, faith, family, and all the things we’d normally be talking about on the phone anyway.So… call your sister. 🤍Topics covered: Joy Forsyth pregnancy, baby number four, Call Your Sister Podcast, Jinger Vuolo and Joy Forsyth, family size, childhood teachings about children, motherhood, Christian parenting, Type A vs. Type B moms, social media and motherhood, sister relationships🎧 New episodes of Call Your Sister every week — SUBSCRIBE so you don’t miss out!00:00:00 - Life Updates and a Major Teaser00:05:26 - Introducing the Call Your Sister Podcast00:12:18 - What to Expect from the New Podcast00:13:22 - Big News from Joy00:18:10 - Deciding How Many Children to Have00:20:48 - Rethinking Their Childhood Teachings on Family Size00:27:21 - Type A vs. Type B Moms00:30:43 - When Personality Types Become Excuses00:32:44 - Balancing Hosting, Social Media, and Priorities00:35:09 - How Often the Sisters Communicate00:36:59 - Texting Habits and Email Overload00:39:56 - Worth the Call00:40:55 - Why They Decided to Start the Podcast#CallYourSister #JingerVuolo #JoyForsyth #Motherhood #Pregnancy #Sisters #MomLife #ParentingOUR INCREDIBLE SPONSORS:TRUST & WILL: Protect what matters most.

Joy & Jinger: Why It’s Been Hard to Find Joy | Ep. 111 Call Your Sister 2026-09-02 | In this episode of the Jinger & Jeremy Podcast, my sister Joy and I are talking all about finding joy — even, and especially, in the hard seasons of life. We start light, talking about the small everyday things that bring us joy right now: home, routine, our kids, beach days, sunsets, and even a few Facebook Marketplace wins (wait until you hear about Joy's chandelier find).But we also go somewhere deeper. Joy opens up about the miscarriage of her daughter Annabelle at 20 weeks and the season of depression that followed, and how she had to fight against becoming bitter while learning to trust God through something she never saw coming. I share my own experience with postpartum depression after having Evy, along with a spiritual crossroads I walked through where I had to wrestle honestly with hard questions about faith. We talk about the difference between happiness and joy, how joy can return in small, unexpected ways after grief, and why getting your labs and vitamin D checked is such a simple but important reminder when you're feeling low.We wrap up with a fun rapid-fire on what's currently bringing us joy, and even float the idea of a Jinger & Joy spin-off podcast — let us know what you think!If you've ever walked through loss, depression, or a season where joy felt impossible to find, this conversation is for you.Topics covered: finding joy after loss, postpartum depression, miscarriage and grief, choosing joy in hard seasons, faith and doubt, motherhood, everyday gratitude, sisters podcast🎧 New episodes of the Jinger & Jeremy Podcast every week — SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss out!00:00:00 - When Joy Becomes Hard to Find00:01:26 - The Everyday Things Bringing Us Joy00:11:09 - Trusting God and Choosing Joy Through Trials00:15:21 - Seeing Everyday Joy Through a Child’s Eyes00:18:59 - Finding Joy in Nature and Community00:23:27 - Settling Into a Family Home00:25:52 - The Comfort of an Ordinary Routine00:30:26 - Coffee Shop Outings and Family Routine00:31:15 - Facebook Marketplace Finds and the Chandelier00:36:00 - Rapid-Fire Things Bringing Us Joy00:37:34 - A Reminder to Check Your Health00:38:56 - Should the Sisters Start a Podcast?#Parenting #Motherhood #MomLife #ParentingTips #RaisingKids OUR INCREDIBLE SPONSORS: TRUST & WILL: Protect what matters most.

Joy & Jinger: So, About My Stress Rash (True Story!) | Ep.110 Call Your Sister 2026-08-26 | In this episode of the Jinger & Jeremy Podcast, my sister Joy and I are getting real about something almost every mom deals with: feeling overwhelmed. We're talking about overscheduled kids, overcommitting to social plans, and how to know when a busy season has crossed the line into burnout.Joy opens up about how her capacity to handle things comes in waves, and why she and Austin made the decision to protect at least three quiet evenings at home each week just to reset as a family. I share how Jeremy and I hit our own breaking point after years of "gone, gone, gone" through ministry and church commitments, and what it took for us to finally say it's time for a change, even when that meant pulling back from good things and worrying about what people would think.We dig into the difference between a busy season (like a home remodel or a book deadline) versus a lifestyle that's simply unsustainable long term, and the practical ways we've each learned to say no, protect our family's time, and communicate openly about what we can and can't handle in any given week.If you've ever felt stretched too thin, guilty about pulling back from commitments, or unsure how to reset when life gets too full, this conversation is for you.🎧 New episodes of the Jinger & Jeremy Podcast every week — SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss out!00:00:00 – Intro & Welcome00:00:54 – What's Making You Feel Overwhelmed This Week?00:04:23 – Stepping Back from Overcommitment (Bible Study Story)00:06:08 – What Helps vs. What Doesn't When You're Overwhelmed00:09:21 – How Austin & Jeremy Notice When We're Overwhelmed00:12:35 – Communication, Sleep & Letting Go of What's Not Yours to Carry00:14:44 – Do You Need to Leave the House Every Day?00:22:34 – Burnout, a Stress Rash & Learning to Rest00:24:36 – Things We've Said No To Recently00:30:12 – Does Your Capacity Change With the Season?00:32:11 – Feeling Like an Introvert & Emotional Drain00:34:02 – Joy's Genuinely Restful Day00:38:18 – Jinger's Genuinely Restful Day00:42:02 – The "Milestone Party" Trend00:44:54 – Are Themed Birthday Parties Over the Top?00:52:44 – Overscheduled Kids & Youth Sports00:58:02 – One Thing That's Helping Us Slow Down01:00:07 – Closing Thoughts & Outro#Parenting #Motherhood #MomLife #ParentingTips #RaisingKids OUR INCREDIBLE SPONSORS: COZY EARTH: Luxury Shouldn’t Be Out of Reach.

Joy & Jinger: So, About Getting Married Young | Ep.109 Call Your Sister 2026-08-19 | In this episode of the Jinger & Jeremy Podcast, I'm sitting down with my sister Joy to talk all things marriage, especially what it's really like getting married young. Joy was 19 when she married Austin, and I was 22 when I married Jeremy, so we're diving into our different timelines, how our age gaps compared, and what marriage actually looked like once the "happily ever after" honeymoon phase wore off.We get honest about the biggest surprises marriage threw at us — from learning how to communicate (and why miscommunication is behind almost every argument), to balancing work and family life when your husband's job doesn't fit a typical 9-to-5, to figuring out how to find your own voice and opinions after years of just going along with everything. I open up about how I used to be way more passive early in our marriage, and how Jeremy actually pushed me to become more independent... even when that meant a little more "friction" at home!We also get into some of the funnier, more personal sides of marriage: Jeremy's prankster habit of bringing snakes and reptiles into our house, Austin's germaphobe tendencies and nightly shower routine, and the best piece of marriage advice we've actually stuck with — a simple nightly question that's helped keep our communication open for years.If you're newly married, engaged, dating young, or just curious what marriage looks like behind the scenes for us, this episode is full of honest, relatable, and encouraging conversation about love, growth, and building a life together.🎧 New episodes every week — SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss out!00:00:00 - Podcast Introduction00:05:00 - Getting Married Young00:07:10 - Expectations Versus the Reality of Marriage00:12:09 - Growing Together Through Communication and Work00:15:05 - Finding Your Voice in Marriage00:17:04 - Adjusting to Different Hygiene Habits00:19:44 - Marriage Advice That Actually Helps00:23:15 - Communicating Through Conflict00:24:20 - Lessons for Newlyweds00:26:38 - Arguments Over the Little Things00:30:21 - Taking Criticism Personally00:35:27 - Overstimulation and Understanding Intentions00:36:59 - Wedding Trends and Outfit Changes00:41:54 - Wedding Food and Guest Experience00:45:34 - Wedding Traditions and Cost-Cutting Choices00:48:24 - Choosing Wedding Photos, Video, and Bridesmaid Dresses00:50:26 - Creative and Affordable Date Night Ideas00:53:24 - Making Time for Dates With Kids00:55:15 - Conversation Starters for Couples00:56:01 - Appreciating Supportive and Patient SpousesOUR INCREDIBLE SPONSORS: COZY EARTH: Luxury Shouldn’t Be Out of Reach.

Joy & Jinger: So, About Making Friends as an Adult | Ep.108 Call Your Sister 2026-08-12 | Does friendship feel harder than it should? In this episode, I sit down with my sister and co-host Joy for an honest, tear-filled conversation about what it's really taken for us to build meaningful friendships — as kids, as teens, and now as adult women navigating marriage, motherhood, and moving to a new city.Joy and I open up about growing up in the public eye and how that shaped (and sometimes stunted) our ability to trust and connect with others. We talk through the insecurity, comparison, and social anxiety that followed us into adulthood, and how marriage — and moving away from a built-in support system of siblings — forced me to learn how to make friends from scratch.I share real stories about the friends who've shown up for me in hard seasons: care packages during potty training, a month of secret prayer journaling from my sister-in-law, last-minute pool days, and coffee dropped off at my door with no expectations attached. Joy and I get vulnerable about the fear of losing friends during hard family seasons, the guilt I've felt pulling back, and why "perfect" friendships don't exist — but genuine ones are worth fighting for.In this episode:- Why friendship didn't come naturally to me or Joy growing up- How growing up in the public eye affected our ability to trust people- Battling insecurity, body image, and comparison as teens- How marriage and moving away exposed the gaps in my friendships- The role social media plays in how our kids will experience friendship and comparison- Small, thoughtful gestures that have made the biggest difference for me in hard seasons- How I'm challenging myself to reach out and encourage a friend this weekIf you've ever struggled to make or keep close friends, felt too busy or too "in survival mode" to nurture relationships, or wondered how to build real community as an adult — this episode is for you.Be sure to SUBSCRIBE!00:00:00 - Introduction: The Meaning of True Friendship00:01:30 - Friends Who Encourage Us00:04:20 - Public Life, Trust Issues, and Keeping Walls Up00:08:19 - Learning to Pursue Deeper Friendships00:13:06 - Social Media, Comparison, and the Next Generation00:15:51 - How Marriage Pushed Us to Build Friendships00:21:12 - Vulnerability, Emotions, and Missed Connections00:24:23 - Learning to Communicate and Find Community00:33:29 - What Makes a Friendship Feel Safe00:36:15 - Friendship as Couples00:39:43 - Trustworthiness, Mentorship, and Spiritual Maturity00:42:06 - Building Intergenerational Friendships00:44:55 - Letting Friendships Grow Organically00:45:58 - Friendships Across Differences and Difficult Seasons00:48:54 - How Friends Have Shown Up Recently00:51:19 - Small, Thoughtful Ways to Care00:54:22 - Encourage Someone and Accept Help00:55:52 - Closing Thoughts#Parenting #Motherhood #MomLife #ParentingTips #RaisingKids OUR INCREDIBLE SPONSORS: COZY EARTH: Luxury Shouldn’t Be Out of Reach.

I also open up about leaning on my faith through hard seasons and how studying the attributes of God has shifted my whole perspective lately.If you've ever wondered how sisters stay close despite distance, different seasons of life, or busy schedules — this conversation is for you.📌 In this episode:✨ Growing up as sisters (and not always being close)✨ How we stay connected long-distance✨ FaceTime, family bonds, and our kids' relationships✨ Leaning on faith through hard seasons✨ Studying the attributes of God00:00:00 - Welcome Back, Joy00:02:24 - Staying Close Across the Distance00:06:18 - Why We Weren't Close Growing Up00:12:37 - Childhood Memories and Family Roles00:17:11 - How We Became Close Friends00:23:01 - Growing in Vulnerability and Faith00:27:22 - Fun Sister Questions00:30:53 - Crying at Unexpected Moments00:32:17 - Impulse Buying and Spending Habits00:38:21 - What We've Been Loving00:45:13 - Finding Encouragement in God's Attributes00:46:43 - Thanks for WatchingOUR INCREDIBLE SPONSORS: COZY EARTH: Luxury Shouldn’t Be Out of Reach.

Shawn Johnson on Raising Kids with Purpose | Ep.98 Call Your Sister 2026-06-03 | In this episode, Shawn and Andrew open up about life behind the highlight reel: the thousands of hours of grueling practice before Beijing, Andrew getting cut from NFL roster after roster and choosing to keep going anyway, and what it actually looks like to build a life of meaning when the world is constantly throwing new options, distractions, and noise at you.They get into the real stuff... parenting three kids with completely opposite personalities, navigating the chaos of mid-30s marriage, and the moment their Type-A daughter discovered rock climbing and transformed overnight. They talk about the nature vs. nurture debate playing out in real time as their four-year-old son races motocross and their two-year-old refuses to be tamed.Shawn pulls back the curtain on her Olympic mental training, including the little-known technique her coach used where she'd sit on each apparatus the day before competition and visualize five perfect routines in a row, and how reciting Newton's Law mid-backflip on a four-inch beam kept her brain too busy to be afraid.At the heart of it all is the message of their book: in an age of infinite scroll, swipe culture, and decision fatigue, commitment isn't a cage... it's the path to freedom. They argue that you don't wait for the best option to present itself. You choose a good one and make it the best.00:00:00 - Podcast Introduction00:01:18 - Guests Introduction00:01:34 - Family and Parenting00:01:47 - Discussing Kids' Personalities00:02:34 - Parenting Challenges00:07:50 - Discussing Kids' Interests00:12:59 - Shawn's Gymnastics Career00:14:06 - Andrew's Football Career00:15:24 - Resilience and Mental Strength00:17:19 - Discussing the Journey and Attitude00:21:29 - Overcoming Rejection and the Role of Mentorship00:22:28 - The Role of Failure in Success00:23:35 - The Importance of Perseverance00:25:58 - The Kip Story and Persistence00:28:08 - Parenting and Encouraging Kids' Interests00:30:00 - The Challenges and Rewards of Parenting00:31:14 - Discussing Commitment in Sports00:32:07 - Passion and Commitment00:33:02 - Discussing Kids' Exposure to Various Activities00:34:04 - Discipline and Priorities00:34:07 - Physical Training and Spirituality00:36:26 - Confidence Building in Kids00:40:23 - 'The Courage to Commit'00:40:35 - Commitment and Freedom00:46:48 - Distractions and Depth of Knowledge00:48:14 - The Role of Boredom and Failure in Passion00:48:55 - Discussing the Importance of Beautiful Obsessions00:51:21 - Discussing the Role of Gamification in Motivation00:52:15 - Discussing Shawn's Mental Process during Olympics00:56:10 - Discussing Mental Strength Training and Visualization00:57:23 - Discussing the Role of Music in Difficult Situations00:58:35 - Conclusion and GratitudeOUR INCREDIBLE SPONSORS: POCKET HOSE: Upgrade your outdoor setup with the Pocket Hose, the world’s #1 expanding garden hose.

Inside the Secret World of the Hutterites | Ep.96 Call Your Sister 2026-05-20 | What happens when you grow up in a closed, communal community, speaking your own language, wearing homemade clothes, owning nothing, and needing permission just to leave for a dentist appointment? This week, Jinger and Jeremy sit down with their friend Michael Wurtz, who was raised inside a Hutterite colony in South Dakota and made a daring midnight escape at just 18 years old.Michael opens up about life inside one of America's most secretive communities, from colony politics and strict dress codes to shared bank accounts, no back pockets, and a world almost entirely cut off from the outside. He traces the Hutterites' fascinating roots in the Anabaptist Reformation, their migration through Ukraine and Ellis Island, and how a community built on Scripture slowly drifted from the gospel into control and conformity.But this isn't just a story of escape, it's a story of answered prayer, God's providence, and life on the other side of freedom. Michael shares the prayer he prayed three days before his brother-in-law called, the flashlight signal in the field at 11pm, and what it looked like to walk away from everything he'd ever known with just $20 in his front pocket.Today, Michael is a seminary graduate serving at his local church, a husband, and a father of two little girls and he calls himself the richest man alive.00:00:47 - Introduction00:02:35 - Michael's Background00:08:16 - Hutterite Community Structure00:14:01 - Understanding the Hutterite Language00:16:04 - Education and Schooling in the Hutterite Community00:17:30 - Music and Secrecy in the Hutterite Community00:24:45 - Hutterite Community Politics00:25:07 - Personal Experiences in the Hutterite Community00:26:44 - Subculture and Side Hustles in the Hutterite Community00:31:59 - Identity and Beliefs in the Hutterite Community00:32:28 - Questioning the Hutterite Community00:33:11 - Views on Non-Hutterites and Apostates00:36:41 - Hutterite Community as a Cult00:37:42 - Escaping the Hutterite Community00:39:26 - Introduction to the Gospel00:43:38 - Becoming a Believer and the Role of Radio00:46:18 - Leaving the Hutterite Community00:47:23 - Religious Pressure and Suppression in the Hutterite Community00:49:31 - The Hidden Reality of Sin in the Hutterite Community00:50:54 - Understanding the Gospel Outside the Hutterite Community00:51:45 - Planning the Escape from the Hutterite Community00:51:48 - The Night of the Escape00:57:33 - Life After Leaving the Hutterite CommunityOUR INCREDIBLE SPONSORS: PONCHO: This season, skip the guesswork and give him something he’ll actually wear.

We REALLY Need a Break This Summer | Ep.95 Call Your Sister 2026-05-13 | Is your summer actually restful or just busy in a different place? Jinger & Jeremy get real about planning a truly restorative summer with little kids, sharing their own vacation wins and fails, why they're staying in California this year, and the honest truth about traveling with young children.But this episode goes deeper than travel tips. They dive into a theology of rest... what Scripture says about why we crave vacations, what the Sabbath really points to, and how Jesus' promise of rest connects to our everyday longing to slow down.What we cover:- How to plan a family vacation that's actually restful (not just survived)- Hotels vs. Airbnbs with kids — what works and what doesn't- Why they're exploring California instead of flying cross-country this summer- The biblical concept of Sabbath and what it means for modern life- Why Jesus promises rest for weary souls and what that has to do with your summer- Childhood vacation memories and why making them for your kids mattersDon't forget to like, comment and SUBSCRIBE.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:14 - Theology of Rest00:00:50 - Summer Vacation Plans00:01:33 - Challenges of Vacationing with Kids00:02:24 - Choosing Family-Friendly Vacation Spots00:03:29 - The Struggles of Staying in Hotels00:04:09 - Staying Local for Vacation00:04:54 - The Benefits of Airbnb00:05:22 - Exploring California00:09:46 - Planning for Future Travels00:15:06 - Different Types of Vacation00:15:50 - Personal Preferences for Vacation00:17:44 - The Need for Rest00:20:55 - Reflections on Work and Rest00:27:00 - Childhood Vacation Memories00:30:16 - Creating Memories for Children00:30:17 - Summer PlansOUR INCREDIBLE SPONSORS: COZY EARTH: Luxury Shouldn’t Be Out of Reach.

Forgiving Family Abuse & Escaping Religious Hypocrisy: Stephen McWhirter’s Story | Ep. 85 Call Your Sister 2026-03-04 | Today we’re talking about forgiving family members who hurt you and how to hold on to Jesus after religious hypocrisy and abuse.

Reddit Hate, Online Bullies, & Why We Wrote This Book | Ep. 83 Call Your Sister 2026-02-18 | In this episode, we’re diving deep into childhood bullying, cyberbullying, and online criticism... and how it affects not just kids, but adults too. From playground teasing to Reddit threads and tabloid headlines, we react to real comments about our marriage, parenting decisions, and public life.As a couple in the public eye, we’ve faced online hate, marriage rumors, body shaming, and harsh assumptions, and we’re sharing how we’ve learned not to rise or fall with public opinion. We talk about setting boundaries with social media, overcoming people-pleasing tendencies, and raising confident kids in a digital world filled with cyberbullying.Most importantly, we explain why these experiences inspired us to write our new Christian children’s book about identity, belonging, and confidence in Christ. In a culture driven by validation, social media pressure, and comparison, we want to help kids understand their worth, build resilience, and remember they are made in the image of God. ❤️ If you’re looking for conversations about:Bullying and cyberbullyingParenting in the age of social mediaMarriage rumors and tabloid culturePeople pleasing and identityRaising confident Christian kidsDealing with online hate and criticismThis episode is for you.Our new children’s book is available now — grab a copy and start these important conversations with your family today.🔔 Don’t forget to:👍 Like💬 Comment📩 Subscribe for weekly episodesALSO, check out our latest children's book!YOU ALWAYS BELONG: You Always Belong is a sweet reminder for kids that they are loved and they belong—especially during seasons of change or uncertainty.
