Let's Take A Breth
We’re glad you’re here! We have a lot to say. Do we even know what we’re talking about? That’s up to you. There’s so much going on in the world that life can be stressful. We’ll take a step back and attempt to make sense of it all. We both came from very different backgrounds, and in the Let’s Take A Breth podcast, we share our perspectives on life, marriage, parenthood, and everything in between with honesty and humor. And we don’t hold back, so buckle up, buttercup!

Summer is under way and we hope you're remembering to take deep breaths as our children are running around the home. We had to take a short break but we hope you enjoyed our previous episodes that we RE-introduced to ya’ll.
We've been excited to share this episode because we're doing our first-ever giveaway. We’re giving away a book and it’s not just any book, it’s one of the banned books in the state of Florida: Amanda Gorman’s “The Hill We Climb”. Amanda made history as the youngest Poet Laureate to recite her poem at President Joe Biden’s Inauguration. We go into why restricting access to a book about hope and unity is absurd and why we chose it as our first-ever giveaway on our show. Brandy shares how doing a book report about Malcolm X was inspiring and gives a shout our to her 8th grade teacher, Ms. Brinsko for not banning not only a controversial book but a controversial public figure. Perhaps most teachers knows best in the classroom.
Happy Listening!
