In 2013, Connie knew her life in Colombia was in danger. In her eagerness to escape, she gave thousands of dollars to someone who had promised to safely escort her to the U.S. Instead, he brought her to Panama, then on to the Bahamas where he left her and three more Colombians, dumping them into a car headed for a remote hideout. For weeks, she shared one room with 12 other travelers, all men. One night they were put, without life jackets, into a four-person boat destined for Miami. A thunder storm raged and the boat leaked. With only their prayers for comfort, they were rescued by the Coast Guard. Today Connie exudes optimism. Her philosophy of hard work, always seeing the good, and counting her blessings has brought her a life of great satisfaction. She loves the United States and feels that her challenging experiences have made her stronger.

Introduction to Connie (2:30) Connie has always has a passion for building strong families, especially in the teen years. Blurred Visions (7:00) Sometimes the visions of what family dynamics would be like don’t turn out the way we expect, and that’s okay. Entrusted (8:30) God entrusted us with His children, it is an honor! We must devour God’s word on a constant basis to stay on track with stewarding His children we are entrusted with. Starve the Fear (13:00) Connie suggest that as mothers with children, we should starve the fear that grips us when it comes to parenting. Pressure’s Off (17:30) Where your child is today, does not mean your child will be in that state or lifestyle one year, five years, or even ten years from now. God’s Mandate (19:00) God has given us a mandate to teach and train our children in the way they should go. Our job is to do our very best and be faithful with that mandate. Trust and Adjust (23:00) God simply asks for us to do the best we can with what we know, now. Be faithful in prayer, pay attention to what you say, and how you communicate with your children. We can always adjust our parenting styles as we learn and grow! A Beautiful Dance (25:00) Don’t sacrifice relationship on the hand of unbending rules. We must learn the dance of navigating relationship and healthy boundaries with our children. Encouragement from Connie (28:00) Teen years are years to be celebrated, not dreaded.

Today Connie found a study that lists a bunch of qualities that may make you look unprofessional to your peers.

Today Connie got completely grossed out and Curtis will definitely not be eating anything prepared in Steve's kitchen for a while. We got on the topic of hair in our food today and discussed about how if it's your own hair or hair from someone in your family, it's not THAT bad. At least not as bad as a random's hair. But then Steve started to talk about animal hair in his food and that's when things got a little gross... Also on the show we talked about how Curtis picked up a hot baby sitter at the bar, Connie and Steve recap Friday's Presidential Inauguration Ceremony, and Curtis did a little moping about the Packers losing on Sunday.
