So darn good!
I found this podcast last year when I needed something relatable to listen to. I had recently lost my son & needed to hear I wasn’t alone, that my feeling were valid and that life would eventually feel like a gut punch every time I opened my eyes. Listening to Whit & Kels’ own story as well as all the guests they’ve had on their podcast has done exactly that for me. All the advise and insights they have make me feel a little less alone in a world where I could make a lotta lemonade with all the lemons life has thrown me! Keep it up ladies 🤍

Lessons in Grace & Grit through failures & loss
I love this podcast. The ability of Whit & Kels to take their own trauma & loss and turn it into a positive to help others is inspiring. I appreciate the platform they give others as well by allowing others to share their own experiences. The pod cast covers heavy things but these ladies do a great job at keeping things light where they can. The words of them and their guests leave lasting marks. I’m grateful for the opportunity that this podcast presents to grow & learn. And overall it is just way neat for these two women to help lift others up. They’re facing hard things in allowing others to share their stories with them and in the process handing those that listen strength & a chance at hope. We need more people like Whit & Kels. Keep the podcasts coming! Ps. Benefits: -There are a lot of opportunities for educating listeners on things they might not have known about. - Great opportunity for challenging your own perspectives on various subjects as you listen. - Good chance to grow your own level of empathy & understanding for others. - You never know what resources you’ll pick up here that will help you down the line or give you the opportunity to help others. - Inspiring. Encouraging. Empowering.

Stranger friends
I have loved listening to the episodes. Great reminder that we all have a story to tell. We are all going through something. Great resource to learn what to say and what not to say to someone during their hardships. I have loved all the stories. It’s like gaining a new stranger friend and praying for them because now I know about their grief, pain, trauma and triumph.

Kelsey & Whit-making lemonade
Ohhhhh how I love this! What a neat way for you to share with other's & while trying to find a way to help yourself grieve a little bit more. This life is crazy and we don’t know what to expect next, but I do know that this right here, might just help pull someone else out of the deepest darkest hole that they might be trying to get out of themselves. I know Kelsey personally, I will never forget Baine. He was the most amazing boy❤️ I will never forget how heartbroken me & my family were when Kelsey told me the worst news she could ever tell. I don’t know Whit personally but I remember hearing about her daughters accident and reading it in the paper. I was heartbroken for her & her family. I hope people can reach out and see that even though you battle day to day, you are still living doing the best you can! I’m proud of you both for your bravery commitment and sacrifices. I’m excited for your journey! XOXO 😚 🍋 🍋 🙌🏼

- Kylee's Story - Down SyndromeKylee was gracious enough to come on our podcast this week and share the story of her little boy, McKrae. Kylee and her husband, Kale were so excited in March of 2022 to bring a new baby into their family. What they didn't know, was that they were delivering a baby with down syndrome into a hospital that didn't have the staff or a NICU to give them the right kind of care. McKrae's health was also put to the test during his first few months of life, when he started to have unexplained seizures. Kylee tells us about how she recognized what his seizures were, and how they have been working with doctors to make sure his health continues to improve. Every year in the US, 6,000 babies are born with Down syndrome. It's a genetic condition when a baby is born with an extra copy of chromosome 21. It can be diagnosed through prenatal screenings, and can also be diagnosed after birth with a physical exam, and a blood test. McKrae is going to be one year old this month, and we couldn't help but share his story with all of our listeners. His diagnosis doesn't change how perfect and special he is, and Kylee won't let it hold him back from accomplishing anything he wants to! Career Slay Imagine the impact we could have on society if everyone loved what they did.

- Chris + Ashley's Story - Montelukast (Singulair) + Child SuicideChris and Ashley share their story with us about their daughter, Genevieve. Genevieve left this world 15 months ago, which also left a lot of unanswered questions for her parents. As Chris and Ashley have sifted through journals and Genevieve's phone, they have discovered a lot, which led to even more questions. In this episode, Chris and Ashley share with us so many things about suicide and what kids are going through at such young ages. They also share a medication that Genevieve was using for asthma called Montelukast (Singulair). Like every medication, there are side effects, but one of the side effects of Montelukast (Singulair) is suicide ideation. This is a new side effect that has just been made public by the Black Box Warning issued by the FDA. At the time of Genevieve's passing, they had no idea that this was a side effect. It is not on the box, you have to do some digging to find ALL of the side effects of this medicine. Chris and Ashley are on a mission to educate while bringing awareness and love to those suffering. We are so proud and feel so honored to be able to share their story with all of you.

- Tammie - A Mother's Journey through her Daughter's AddictionOur guest Tammie is an incredible woman. She has been through so much heartbreak in her life and is here today to tell us what she has learned through it some of it. Tammie had been a nurse for 30 years and currently works in the ICU where she sometimes has to take care of patients with addiction - which coincidently is what her daughter has battled with for the past 13 years. Tammie first discovered her daughters addiction when she found her lifeless body in their home. Tammie is such an advocate for treating anyone and everyone as an important human being. No matter what the story is behind the reason for someone's struggles. Tammie works with the homeless as well and teaches us a few things about their lifestyle, which was such good knowledge! Tammie and her husband have started a woodworking business, where some of the proceeds from each beautiful handmade cutting board that is sold, go to help fund and assist addicts in their recovery.

- Brittany's Story - PPD + Anxiety + DepressionBrittany is our guest on this weeks episode and she tells us a little bit about her journey in recognizing the signs & symptoms of anxiety & depression coming into her life. One of my favorite things that Brittany has said is that she wants to help others to not feel so alone, and I think throughout her episode she does such a great job at telling her story and we know that it'll help validate someone else who is on a similar journey. She says that the biggest thing she is learning right now is to own her story and love herself in the process; accepting herself while looking for ways to heal. I feel that is so relatable in most of our journey's through life. Throughout Brittany's episode she gives what sounds like simple tools to help combat negative thoughts and to implement positive talk into our daily lives. As easy as it sounds it can still be so hard to remember. Having someone or something to remind us is so important! Brittany has done a lot of research herself in finding helpful forms of therapy. She has a list of helpful resources so make sure to look that over. Thank you Brittany for being brave and sharing your story on our platform. Daring greatly; Pema Chodron "Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals.

- Making Lemonade with Whit + Kels Nov 23 · 49m Dominique's Story - Type 1 Diabetes + Alert DogDominique is Talki Foundation's person of the year, and we got the privilege to record with her and to share her story with all of you. Dominique tells her story about getting diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2016 due to a DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis) episode. Dominique didn't let that slow her down for too long. She quickly figured out how to live with this diagnosis, and how to care for herself correctly so she could continue doing the things that she loves. Dominique is a soccer player, coach, and also plays football for the WNFC Atlanta Phoenix. Sports has been a huge part of her life. It is inspiring to listen to her talk about continuing to do what she loves and not letting her diagnosis keep her down. Dominique also tells us about her alert dog Bowie and how he had been so accurate at alerting her when her levels are off. We loved recording this episode with Dominique. She is an inspiration and an amazing woman. I'll end this with a quote from her mother. 💛 "Dominique is my oldest child and has two brothers and a sister. She has always been one of the most positive people that I know, even from a very young age. When Dominique was diagnosed with type one diabetes, I was literally in shock. How could this happen to such a healthy and athletic young lady? I knew whole heartedly that this was going to be a big challenge for my daughter. Because I am in the medical field, I knew all of the changes in her life that she would have to endure. In the beginning it was a major challenge for her from meals to the insulin injections, and the blood sugar checks but she did it and conquered it all first hand. I watched her work to get her diabetic alert dog and fur baby Bowie. She and Bowie really are a perfect match! Dominique has inspired me with how she works through every challenge, her love for sports and her love for her family. As Philippians 4:13 reads, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.". That is my daughter, my Dominique." - Evelyn Resources: • T1International • Children with Diabetes • Talki Foundation Instagram Pages: • Dtrappeyo (Athlete page) • In_dependence25 (T1D and autoimmune conditions page) • Bowie_the_alert_pup (Bowie's page) Facebook Page • Against All Odds: Dominique & Bowie the Alert Dog0 comments0

- Samie's Story - #doitfordraykeThis week's guest is Samie. Samie joins us today and shares her story about her sweet son, Drayke who took his own life earlier this year. Drayke was only 12. He was getting bullied by another boy his age. Samie says that Drayke was compassionate, sweet, and funny. He actually tried to befriend the bully hoping that this boy just needed a friend. What an example of compassion Drayke was. Their family's world was shattered the moment Drayke was gone. Samie and her husband have started a national campaign #bagsagainstbullies. She talks about what it's all about on this episode. You can also find out more information @ https://bagsagainstbullies.com/ Samie, thank you for sharing your story on our podcast.

- Lyndsey's Story - Teen DrivingLyndsey's story is one that you won't want to miss! Whit and I know that we will be sharing her story with all of our family and friends for many reasons. Lyndsey's story is about her son who was speeding while driving with his best friend. Her storing is heartbreaking, but she is courageous for telling it. She talks about survivor's guilt, and how that has impacted her family. She talks about changes that she wish she could make and gives advice to us parents who have teen drivers now, and in the future. I personally learned so much from her and her words. As hard as it is for her to tell her story, I know it will impact someone else for the better. Link for Lyndsey's Zero Fatalities Campaign https://youtu.be/BECn80uRnRQ0 comments0
- Ashley - Child LossAshley is our guest on this week's episode. Ashley tells about her son, Cash who contracted Adenovirus at just 10 days old. If it wasn't for Ashley's intuition & courage, she wouldn't have found out as soon as she did that Cash was sick. Ashley's story is heartbreaking and frustrating to say the least. I hope her story can reach the ones who need to hear it. Thanks Ashley for sharing your story. 💛💛0 comments0
