When a marriage breaks down, it can be hard on everyone involved. But, when children are caught in the middle, it can be even more challenging. Parental alienation is a form of emotional abuse that can happen during a divorce. It occurs when one parent tries to turn the child against the other parent.

It can be hard to know what to do when your child is being alienated from you. You may feel like you are walking on eggshells all the time. Or you may feel like you are exhausting all your options to try to reach your child. In addition, this can have a profound and lasting impact on the child, leading to emotional damage that can last well into adulthood.

If you are going through a divorce, it is essential to be aware of parental alienation and its potential effects on your children. In this episode, we will explore, together with our guests Kindra Beck and G. Mick Smith, the realities of parental alienation. Kindra and Mick have seen firsthand the devastating effects of parental alienation.

Kindra, a proud mom of two boys, is a legislative pioneer trying to change the landscape of parental alienation in addition to being a life coach, motivational speaker, and an experienced marketer and sales leader. Mick plays at the intersection of education, training, and technology. He is the author of 'Burning America: In The Best Interest Of The Children?', a fictional account that delves into the dark trenches of the custody industry in American villages.

We are constantly evolving and growing day by day. We face many challenges and obstacles in our lives, and sometimes it can feel like we're just trying to survive.

It's been said that we all have two lives. The first life is the one we live until we realize we have a second life. The second life is the one we live after discovering our purpose to lead a fulfilling life.

For our guest Charlie Cifarelli, he found his purpose in life through a viral video of a homeless man's companion named Star, who was shot by the New York Police Department.

Through Star, Charlie is able to live his second life where he pursues justice and truth as well as valuing compassion, empathy, understanding, and humanity. In this episode, we'll hear about his story and mission to help others, especially through his book 14th & 2nd.

From Long Island, life dealt Charlie a difficult hand early on. He was born in a position not to succeed and lived a lifetime of secrecy. He worked hard and found success by rising through the ranks in the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services and then starting his own successful business. In addition, Charlie is also the co-founder of a nonprofit organization, a sought-after speaker at various business and social awareness functions, and has been featured in the media regarding animal advocacy.

Romance novels have been brushed off as undeserving of literary value for years. In recent years, however, there has been a shift in how people view romance novels. Writers of romance novels are beginning to earn respect for their work, and readers are beginning to see the value in them as well.

There's something about a good romance novel that just draws us in, and we can't help but root for the characters to find their happily ever after. These stories have a way that can transport you to another world and believe in the power of love.

If you're like Julie, you love a good romance novel. But have you ever wondered how these great authors come up with the stories and characters? And more importantly, why have they chosen this as their purpose in life?
