Love Through The Last Breath (Caregivers) Lauren Miller

As our parents age, we might worry about when it's our turn to care for them. And sometimes that time comes much earlier than we are ready for.

She serves as the Chief Growth Officer at M³ Consulting. A management consulting firm started by her father, Dave J. Miller Jr. over 35 years ago. Lauren’s ambition, intelligence, strength and drive is part of her family legacy. So when her father’s battle with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) pushed her from being his daughter, mentee, and colleague, to being his caregiver, life line and source of strength, the effect was jarring.

Skin Deep with Justin Hall

Remember back in the day when Michael Jackson said he had vitiligo and nobody believed him?

In this episode, Victoria Reese talks to "vitiligan" Justin Hall about his journey and advocacy with vitiligo. About the guest: Justin Hall is a speaker, author and vitiligo advocate. Justin’s mission to bring awareness to the vitiligo community has sparked meaningful conversation around a disease that doesn’t typically get as much attention as it deserves, empowering those living with the disease, who need to feel powerful in their skin the most. His children’s book, Aiden’s Spots, follows a kindergartener living with vitiligo, on his first day of school. The book empowers children to embrace their differences, and educate those who may not understand them. If this episode resonated with you, please leave us a 5-star review.
