15 amazing episodes later, and we've come to the end of season 2. This season has been so worthwhile and enjoyable. I'm so grateful for every glow getter who listens to the show week to week, and I'm so thankful for all of this season's awesome guests.

During today's season finale, I'm talking all about how both grind and grace got me through this season, and why we need both. I also share some key lessons and takeaways from this season. If I've learned nothing else it's that the more we keep going, the more we keep growing.

I hope you gained gems from each guest and topic discussion this season. Great news - Season 3 of the show will be back in Winter 2023!

Today, we're talking about faith, family and growing through the various seasons of life. As we embark upon milestones, that's such a good time to reflect on life and lessons, which is why I sat down with my special guest this week who is none other than my mom, Shirley Franklin. She is turning 60 in December, and is currently celebrating her 60 day countdown to 60. In fact, we're kicking off the countdown right now with vacation in Jamaica. But before our departure, I had the opportunity to chat with her about growing and glowing over these almost 60 years. Shirley Franklin is a Motivator, Mentor, Minister, Manager and Mom. Faith, Family, Friends, and Self-care are some of the things that mean the most to her and we dig into that in this episode

During this episode, Shirley also shared on:

• How she juggled work, life and family over the years.
• One thing she had to unlearn.
• Things she doing less of, and things she's doing more of.
• How faith has played a role in her life and journey.
• Advice for moms, who have young children and advice for moms who have adult children. 
• Life lessons that have impacted her the most.
• Navigating grief and adjusting to life without her husband.

BusyKid is the must have chore app for families with children. My family uses and loves this fun and user-friendly app that has huge benefits. I love that it helps me to teach my kids personal responsibility and money management at a young age. Within the app, you can assign your kids weekly chores and they can check them off as they are completed. When it's payday, you load your kids BusyKid Visa Spend Card with their allowance. My kids love being able to use their own Visa card to buy a treat at the end of the week. Plus, the app has a built in savings feature, so a portion of the allowance goes directly towards savings, and you can also donate to charities. In short, this app is a must have for families. Use my exclusive link here to sign up. Thank me later!

Taking care of ourselves before we take care of others is so important, which is why today's episode is all about self-care. It's far more than a buzz word. It's essential to our well being, growth and and more. My guest this week is self care consultant and creative director, Candice Denise. Candice’s own self care journey + wellness experiences, knowledge, personal revelations and struggles as an entrepreneur, coupled with her desire to empower other women eventually led her to create CD Creative Loft.  Now, she works with high achieving female leaders, founders, entrepreneurs and organizations, around the country, teaching them how to prioritize themselves daily, remove self-care from their to do lists, and work past the “guilt and selfish” stigmas often associated with self care. Candice teaches her clients how to easily infuse simple self care practices & routines into their busy day to day schedules to support their overall success, and maintain a lifestyle centered around putting their well-being, first.
