• 3:38
  SPEAKER_01: Well, my story's about my uh my two daughters.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_01: My first one I had when I was really young at sixteen years old, and it was a time back then when, you know, it wasn't easily as acceptable to go to school and do things like that when you were pregnant like it is today.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_01: So it's all you know, about how I met the challenge and raised my daughter and you know, then later on in years I had my second daughter and how the difference between, you know, being a mother at sixteen and the things I seen and felt like, you know, when all my other friends were out having fun, doing things a normal teenager would do when I'm home with a baby, like, you know.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_01: So it's just to share like some of my story from the beginning to having my second daughter at thirty eight, it was like a tremendous difference because I was more mature and I um you know, your relationship is different sometimes when they're a teenager's of of course.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_01: And so that's a basically what my story's about, like the difference between, you know, a young, young mum, but after I had my first daughter I felt like I've been a mum all my life, it's what it feels like. 'Cause I never really teenage years, right?
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_01: So now I'm just doing the things now that I enjoy and m my uh passion was to raise my children and then later, you know, remarried and had two sons after that.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_01: But you know, it's just you put so much into your children and then you go through rough patches, but then, you know, th my daughters now are my best friends.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, I love that.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_02: And I know our listeners are gonna love that too.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_02: This anthology's got so many inspirational stories, I'll be honest with you.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_02: I'm just blown away with what people are going to I honestly I think they're gonna learn from it.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_02: And they're gonna be able to take those tips and stuff away with them to see that they're not alone.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_02: They're they have people that have gone through, you know, maybe a similar situation and how you were able to thrive through that because you've obviously learned so much from that experience and it has brought you to where you are today.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, that's right.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: And it's like, you know, my never give up spirit, like when I was sixteen and go out and have my first daughter, you know, I was into gymnastics and my my coach at the time was disappointed because he said I was so good I could have made the Olympics.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_01: Well you give up on your dreams to raise your children.
