Traveling Episode? We share what's behind the scenes of those beautiful perfectly aesthetically pleasing Instagram photos. How many wrong turns were made and who messed up the reservations. We went to Berlin earlier this month it's been our first trip since last summer. Traveling abroad as a family can be interesting there is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes. We get into how we travel abroad as a family and what you should know about if you plan to travel to Berlin. Everything from food, to accommodations, to where are the good parking spots. The bare basics of what you need to know about traveling there! If you liked this episode be sure to let us know and if you didn't like this episode be sure to let us know!

We're back this week with our journey of navigating the whole "first time home buyers" chapter. It's not going quite as we envisioned it and doing this while living overseas purchasing a home back in the States during Covid in a highly a sought after area is not a cake walk. This week Abe and Courtney are sharing with you all not only how a Military Family even attempts this process but what their thoughts and views are as first time home buyers. As always they're sharing insights on Veteran/Military Friendly Companies they plan on working with to make their ease and transition back to the States just a little bit easier. This is an interesting chapter for them being that this is their first time moving from overseas back to the States, with a family and buying a house for the first time.

We all take different paths in life and sometimes we don't think about the places we've been and the things we've accomplished until we're at the end of our career. We finally got Abe on the mic to share with us what his Air Force Journey has been. Straight outta Stockton to living abroad for over five years he has expanded his paradigm in more ways than what he could of imagined at the age of 18. Sit down, grab a cup of coffee and join us in listening to Abe's Air Force Story.

This week Abe shares his journey with us he describes what it was like growing up as a first generation Mexican American in the U.S. He talks about his parents journey of moving to the United States and learning how to navigate a foreign country on their own with a baby. His story starts with what it was like growing up in Stockton, California and he ends it with how he ended up joining the Military. Check back for a  later episode on his Air Force Story.

It's M O N D A Y! Today we're coming at you with what generational trauma could look like? Have you ever heard of inheriting generational trauma? Has your family ever facilitated an open discussion on illnesses, disease or traumatic situations that endured? If you're saying no don't worry ours hasn't either. We're here to change the script on this one! We need to be having more open conversations at home with our families on our family history, traumatic situations we've endured and what we know or think may have been passed down to us. Awareness is key to bettering your mental health sometimes we can't fix the problem if we don't know what the root cause is? Am I right or am I right???
