Madison McKinney Founder LockHERoom™ Podcast/Blog Since a little girl, I have always felt deeply connected to sports in a way that was indescribable. I grew up in a small town by the name of Cartersville, Georgia. With not much to do, I was elated when I picked up my first basketball at the age of five. They say it is hard to have memories of early childhood, however I vividly remember not being able to sleep the day before my 6U coed rec game. Shortly after, I played my first game at 3rd base. As I grew, sports grew with and on me. Aside from being 'Madison' I was the basketball player, the softball player. That became a part of my identity. From working out with guys twice my age, to traveling across the state to various skills camps I always saw my future being a collegiate athlete. My eight grade year, the beginning of my recruiting process, I fractured my foot the first game of the season. That was the first time I realized that I would not be able to play forever, and that was also the time I decided that I never wanted to be detached from the sports world. It was at that moment Join us on A Chat in the Garden with Monique A. J. Smith at 10:00 am est Come listen to our guest’s career path, her advice for others and current initiatives.

Mari Ross-Alexander, M.A., LPC-MHSP, is a licensed professional counselor treating individuals (age 13 and up), couples and families. Originally from Las Vegas, NV, Mari completed her undergraduate work at Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ in 1997 and earned her Masters of Arts in Counseling from Argosy University in 2007 and her Ph.D. in Clinical Counseling from Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville. ? Philosophy "My practical view of the function of psychotherapy is as a journey of self-exploration by the client, meant to increase his/her level of self-understanding and self-awareness. I as the therapist act as the guide or facilitator of this journey. It is not my practice to act as the self-appointed expert on the client's life who effortlessly dispenses advice to the client on what he/she should be thinking, feeling, and doing. I do not readily provide answsers/solutions to client questions/problems regarding themselves and their lives. From my experience, clients are much more inclined to own and operate an answer/solution if it is of their own creation. On some level of consciousness based on his/her experience in life, I believe the client is in possession of the answers to his/hers questions. It is my desire to make those answers explicit. My goal to help clients identify, develop, and mobilize their own resources to successfully solve problems and meet challenges." Join us on A Chat in the Garden with Monique A. J.
