Good morning Happy Saint Patricks Day! (No meaningless talk today!) glad to be here,. My name is Lisa and I am the mother of 3 children 2 daughters and a son, plus three awesome grandchildren. Military spouse for 36 years, "Go Navy". I am a historic re-enactor preparing for the 250th celebration of our nation, master gardener and wanting to communicate better with my children.

I wanted to share a few items that I think will be helpful... 1. Some of you have asked about this being an 8 week course and if you will have access to it longer than 8 weeks. You will have access to the content indefinitely and access to the classes for a year. The 8 week time frame was for parents to know that they could work through the material in 8 weeks if they wanted to do so. 2. You will occasionally see changes to the Skool platform because we are learning as we go. We are always working on this process and trying to figure out new ways to make this journey more user friendly, For instance, we changed the format around the modules because some people were struggling to find them in the Classroom section. 3. This content is different than most you will see because this topic addresses issues that are tender, scary, and historical. Our relationship with our adult children tap into fear, guilt, sadness, regret, hope, and anger. These emotions are powerful and in some cases, are connected to how we were raised. We often repeat what we learned from our own childhood, repeating behaviors or mindsets we vowed we would never do when grew up. Thus, you may find yourself stuck on a particular module and that simply tells you to slow down and pay attention to the thoughts and feelings that might be surfacing for you. 4. The content is information that helps you recognize issues. It becomes revelation when the material creates awareness in your life. It can become transformation when you take the information and revelation to a whole new level, which is where learning and change become your new way of being. This is the reason this work takes time. 5. It is more important to take your time to truly glean all you can about yourself and your adult children than to say "I finished the framework." True change takes place in inches, not in miles, so do not be impatient with yourself. There is no judgment on how slow or fast you work. 6. We all have three ways of learning material: A. Auditory - some people learn primarily by what they hear. B. Visually - This is when you learn best by what you read or see, and C. Kinesthetically - this learning style is by what you do with your hands. For instance, if you are learning how to do something, you may only learn it by actually doing it yourself vs. watching someone else do it or tell you how it is to be done. In this material, you will use all formats of learning. 7. Last, my heart is to provide you the best service possible in as many ways as possible. We are always looking for new ways to improve. I will keep you updated as we add new things or make changes to our process.

I lost the sound for the meeting just before Catherine joined us. How can I retrieve the rest of the meeting?
