Sophie started to attend the radio show with me when she was 3. She went every Sunday we had her. John was on the show occasionally but not regularly. It was Sophie and me every week.
I spent seven years on 97.1. It was a great opportunity to share health with people we would otherwise not be in front of. Roger from Powerhouse Gym joined us as well. I had zero experience in radio. I showed up one day and started talking and hoped I didn't run out of things to say.
Sophie listened to every show. By the time she was 4, she would hear a, "Don't stop believing," and say, "That's our radio show." Then she would say our phone number out loud as if she was ending the segment. She would tell her grandparents about sugar, exercise, and the importance of healthy living when I was not around. The messages were planting seeds in her.
I know it's hard to get through to your kids. You might feel like you are speaking to deaf ears. You are not. They hear you. You are the boss. You lead the pack. You are in control of the future for them. They will ultimately decide what direction to go, but you influence them. Keep fighting for them.
We now have a weekly show on RealTalk 93.3 FM on Saturdays at 4. We feel blessed to still be on the radio after all these years. I've been on radio for 15 years now. John joins me now. I love having his perspective.
Health is a ministry. As you change your life, you will influence others to do the same without even being intentional. Strive for consistency, not perfection. Press into health. It changes everything.
Need help? That's why we're here. Let's connect.
