This week hits on a lot of real-life moments that make you stop and think!  LaLa’s husband, a police chief, heads to Kentucky for training focused on mental health and coping mechanisms for high-stress careers. It opens up a bigger conversation about how much pressure people carry and how important it is to actually take care of yourself.  At the same time, LaLa realizes something simple but real… As adults, we just don’t sleep in anymore. Life doesn’t slow down.  Then Shawna shares something that really puts things into perspective. Her mom is turning 70 and chose a one-day party over a full vacation just to avoid missing work.  And it makes you think… why are we living like this?  Life is too short to keep putting things off.Take the trip.
