My Ah-Ha Moment
10/08/2013

I have been listening since I was pregnant with my 6-year-old daughter. There have been many moments when it felt like you were speaking to me. As a reformed feminist I have you to thank for what my life looks like now. I am a full-time mommy and a girlfriend to one amazing husband.

Recently, I had a conversation with my husband about our finances. We are facing another salary cut and I am a bit worried about making ends meet. As we were wrapping things up, I told my husband that if it got much tighter I would start looking for a part-time job so we could get by. Before the words were out of my mouth, my husband corrected me. He told me, "No."  He would find more overtime and that we would simply have to cut back on non-essentials. He reminded me that I have a full-time "job" and no one could be hired to take my place.

Thank you Dr. Laura for helping me see the light. I got to spend the night grateful to have a real man that would do anything to take care of his family. I am so thankful for the chance to build my man up instead of tearing him down!!!
