In this episode of "Reality of the Rose," I am delighted to host a special family gathering with three generations of women from my family. Together with my mom, Pat, my daughter, Allie, my sister-in-law, Abby, and my niece, Grace, we explore a variety of engaging topics. We kick off with a discussion on how each generation uses technology differently, from search engines to social media platforms. We reminisce about our favorite childhood TV shows, revealing how entertainment has evolved over the years. The conversation takes a personal turn as we share stories of teenage rebellions and reflect on how our perspectives have changed with age.

This week friend of show, Miranda, joins me once again. This time she's giving us a very personal glimpse into her life. I often tell her she needs to write a book about her life and maybe this will put her on that trajectory. After a few minutes of comparing notes on Love Island season 7, Miranda shares the challenges she faced during her childhood, the bravery her mom showed that had a lasting impact, the struggles of moving a lot at a vulnerable age, how she met her husband, and the traumatic early loss of her mom. What she shares may very well resonate with you which is why she decided to share her story...because maybe it could help others. I hope that you will be inspired by her strength and resiliency.
