In this episode, we talk about what we are thankful for and the process of being thankful. Many times we forget about the blessings that we have in our life because we focus on what we don't have.

In this episode, we pull a remix. This podcast just got even better adding a third cousin with John Lonso as a host. At the core of a lot of their fun memories, it is tied in with losing loved ones while growing up. Losing people you love is never easy but it also can bring families together. Hear about Mario Kart nights, their anger issues, but more importantly how each of them got through the grieving process.

In this episode, you will learn about co-hosts Phillip Madriaga and Kolby Castillo. They explain why they started this podcast and what to expect. Kolby brings up dealing with heartbreak which leads the conversation down a little bit of memory lane. IT also brings up how sometimes the road to recovery is focusing on "watering your grass". We all struggle to see the purpose of going through struggle. It may not all make sense but there is a higher purpose behind everything.
