Growing up in the middle of Minnesota's cornfields, Jenna Edwards had some big dreams. She wanted to make people laugh on TV, inspire change, and travel the world. Life wasn't easy, though. Born to teenage parents who split when she was three, Jenna faced poverty and abuse until her mom took a stand, and they escaped. In her early twenties, Jenna set off for Los Angeles, to make her dreams come true. She even landed a role on the legendary "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" show. Imagine inheriting Buffy's powers! But then, a terrible accident shook her world. She struggled with debilitating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) but learned that asking for help is a sign of strength, just like Buffy asking her friends for help. Now, she's on a mission to empower others through writing and producing, inspiring them to face their own "big bads." Remember, you have a choice. Will you stand up? Jenna currently lives in Los Angeles with her loving and supportive husband, Craig. You can find out more at www.jennaedwards.com     Thank you for listening to the A+ Parents podcast.

Jami Newman is a native from central Florida and a long-time homeschool parent. Her and her husband have raised three children outside of the traditional school setting for the last 12 years and plan to graduate all of them from home. Jami's children have been homeschooled all their lives.   Jami's two sons both play travel baseball, and her daughter is a successful, small-business owner, dual enrollment student, and equestrian. Having begun as a more "traditional" homeschooler, Jami has grown to become more child directed as her kids have grown into their teens. During the covid year, her family took a plunge and purchased a piece of land in Florida outside of the city. They helped their daughter grow a small equine business at their home, which she runs almost completely by herself now.   Jami also directs a very small, nonprofit, homeschool cooperative group, which focuses on building close relationships and critical thinking skills through offering parent-lead courses with common annual themes. When Jami is not traveling for baseball, assisting her daughter in her equine business, homeschooling, or running her cooperative group, she enjoys gardening, exercise, and tending to her chickens on their micro farm.     Thank you for listening to the A+ Parents podcast.

Hailing from Los Angeles, Jay Mitsch has spent 25+ years in education as a classroom math and science teacher, tutor, test prep specialist, coach, mentor and all around super fan of the students he's supported. Growing up in Philadelphia, he told his father that education was broken after a horrendous science lesson in 3rd grade. He went on to Muhlenberg College and majored in Mathematics, dual certified for elementary and secondary teaching and ended up teaching Math and coaching soccer in Boca Raton, FL. After 5 years in the classroom, he made the exciting jump from dealing with teenagers to dealing with Hollywood.   While learning the ropes in the film and television world, Jay created his own education company that was grounded in the belief that every student can learn and every student can succeed if given the exact support they need. Gravity Assist is the third iteration of Jay's unique vision of education. Gravity Assist spawned from the belief that all students, and people for that matter, are on their own path. Using planetary gravitational force principles and modern approaches, Gravity Assist slingshots the student further than imagined.    Personally, Jay has a great wife and awesome 7 year old son. If he's not doing math, he's running, hiking or surfing or playing with his son.      Thank you for listening to the A+ Parents podcast.

Kim Hannon is a happily married homeschool mom living in the Tampa Bay area. She is a juggling master - though only figuratively!  Kim and her husband, Chris, have been partnering on projects and in life for over 23 years and married for 19 of those!  They have 3 children Lucas, Jacob and Alivea and a sweet golden-doodle Oliver.  Chris and Kim are both avid volunteers at their church, Generations Christian Church. When Kim began homeschooling her oldest son nearly a decade ago, she saw the need homeschool families have for community, for doing life together.  SALT of Trinity, a homeschool group for families to shine and learn together, was founded in 2016 and has continued to grow and thrive under her devoted guidance and servant leadership. Most recently, Kim turned her passion to develop the premiere homeschool event in Tampa Bay - the inaugural Tampa Bay Homeschool Conference.  When not running at full speed, managing dozens of projects, Kim can be found relaxing poolside with a good book or enjoying the sunshine and salty air at the beach with friends and family.    saltoftrinity.com -- our homeschool group tampabayhomeschoolconference.com -- TBHC website       Thank you for listening to the A+ Parents podcast.
