Oh…this is soooo good. Valli and I had a blast chatting and recording this podcast. She is filled with wisdom and wit and understanding. She gets it. And she writes about it so we can all benefit.
I stalked followed her on instagram and asked if she would be interested in a conversation and she graciously came on the podcast to share her story. I took a chance but I was pretty sure she’s a “Yes! girl” like me.
She is a military wife and mother of two kids who have hearing loss and cochlear implants. We talk about this and so much more. I feel like this call could’ve lasted all day.
Grab your coffee and sit down for a chat with us. Or maybe take us on a walk with you. You will get in more steps today because we talk about so many good things! 🙂 Join us. I recognize now more than ever that community is everything. You are not alone. Spend time with us today…A bunch of friends talking about kids and husbands and homes and work and writing and our dads who loved us and school and teachers and being an extra on 90210. (You heard that right. She saw Luke Perry in real life.)
Here’s her official bio if “new best friend” isn’t enough.
Valli Gideons is a military bride who writes about raising kids with hearing loss, military life, and other things from the heart.
