Our family was on the brink of failure. The stress in our home was overwhelming. I was ready to leave my wife and 6 kids and never return. Then a revelation popped into my mind that changed the fate of our family forever. My name is Kyle Jetsel and for years I (and My now deceased wife, Shelly) struggled mightily raising our 6 “very challenging” kids. Nothing seemed to be off-limits for this “seemingly feral” crew. When everything we'd tried failed to help us with our "AT HOME" challenges, we made it our business to better understand how we could parent our kiddos in a "Spirit of Love." Through the "secrets" we learned we dramatically LOWERED STRESS for everyone and TRANSFORMED our family. Now, WE TEACH that same framework and recipe to other families so they can become what our family has become. A top 1% happy family. And we love sharing our success map with anyone interested.

    S3: E14 Elyse + Cameron (Pt. 2) Surviving a Near Death Ectopic Pregnancy

    In this special Part 2 episode, Cameron and Elyse share their inspiring journey of love, resilience, and the challenges they faced as a couple and parents. They discuss their long-distance relationship, the joys and struggles of parenting two young boys, and the emotional toll of a near-death experience due to an ectopic pregnancy. Their story emphasizes the importance of self-care, support from family, and the need to view challenges as opportunities for growth. About our Guests: Cameron & Elyse have been married for 16 years and together for 20. They actually got married on the same day 4 years to the day we met. We've got two incredible kiddos that fill our life with beauty, parental frustration and incredible love. We are both entrepreneurs...Cameron with a Web Design company and Elyse in Coaching & Spiritual Mentorship for visionary women in business. We met outside of a restaurant, both on vacation, in Hilton Head Island, SC, did a year long distance to begin our relationship, lived in Charlotte NC for a year for Cameron to finish his college degree, ran around Los Angeles like chickens with our heads cut off for 10 years (where we birthed our first son), and have since been loving and calling Florida our home. In our journey, our first pregnancy was a miscarriage, and our most recent (fourth pregnancy) resulted in an extremely traumatic near-death experience for Elyse when an ectopic pregnancy ruptured in the hospital at 4am. We are so grateful communication is the foundation of our relationship (credited to our initial year of long-distance), and have shared our fair share of challenging moments. But, we continue forward, first and foremost putting our trust and faith in God, and look forward to the beauty that the future brings for us and our family.
