EPISODE 41- SEXUAL ABUSE

This week we have a very tough and emotional episode.  We are extremely thankful to our Super Mama Melisa Huerta for trusting us with her story.  Sexual Abuse is very real and it should be talked about.  Let's get the conversation started and hopefully that way we can give our kids the tools to fight predators. We hope that this episode can help and empower someone out there going through the same situation.  Melissa also talk about the generational pattern she wants to break and we all share our tips and picks for this week.
