What have they uncovered in 25 years?   Get over the hump every Wednesday with a new "Heartbeat in Relationship Conversation" episode.

What does one learn in that amount of time? Or do they learn anything at all? Our guest answers some of these questions and more, pertaining to being recovered from substance abuse.    Substance abuse, recovery, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous etc.…There are so many stereotypes and judgments when the description of who you are is attached to any one of these words, but wait, is it "who" you are or what you have experienced or managed? We get some real answers from those who have lived it and honestly, the answers may shock you.   What if you've never experienced substance abuse or felt compelled to find numbness or excitement from drugs or in a bottle? Are you still at risk of suffering from addiction and could not being in tuned with what they are be fatal?   Is our grand treasure of a significant other easier to have without having to be transparent about topics like recovery and substance abuse or is the struggle equally real when it comes to affairs of the heart?   Finally, what the hell is farmers.com? Is it like Grinder or Tinder but with lots of flannel involved? And how freaky are those Christian mingle accounts?   You'll laugh and be moved in our first episode of Licensed for Love Podcast Season 2 y'all!

    (Thankfully Living Your Why Series) A life of just checking boxes, going through the motions, thinking on auto pilot, and then, without warning everything changes! You're upside down and in the next moment, on helicopter in medivac. How do you live differently, or do you? Get over the hump every Wednesday with a new "Heartbeat in Relationship Conversation" episode. Join the Diversity Duo for all the feels and then ask yourself, “Do I judge a book by its cover?” #thediversityduo #LFLPodcast https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-licensed-for-love-podcast-96396001/ Or wherever you get your podcast. Our guest is a mother, a military spouse, and a U.S. Veteran. She is very candid about her life before a fateful accident that would change everything. Being a mother is arguably the greatest miracle that a woman can be given. So imagine a snapshot of looking over and seeing your only daughter screaming in pain and upside down after your vehicle flipped five times, only in the next moment to find that you’re being taken away to a medivac and your daughter to another ambulance. What would you feel? How did Anne's life change afterwards? Does her mind still coast on auto pilot? Is she still checking boxes? Does it feel like she's just going through the motions? Or what, if anything, has changed? We also discovered an experience that Dr. Harris had that hits particularly hard during this episode. Our trauma in the moment seems like a cursed life, a botched karma, and begs us to ask the question, why me? But Anne Whitt found a whole new perspective that resonates even today. How does she do it, and what are her biggest motivations? We couldn't end this description without mentioning the phrase “do what sets your soul on fire,” and how is Anne doing that? What you need to know: Butterfly Effect - A property of chaotic systems (such as the atmosphere) by which small changes in initial conditions can lead to large-scale and unpredictable variation in the future state of the system https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/butterfly%20effect
