Episode 17: The Things I Learned From My Mom with Austin Kimbrough


Some key takeaways from this episode include:

Helen’s sons couldn’t be more different, but they have such a deep relationship and respect for each other that they’ve always celebrated and nurtured those differences.

Not everyone is a traditional student that absorbs information easily and loves to read. Helen had to advocate for Avery to have more experiential learning in the classroom, which allowed him to excel.

Avery decided at a young age that he wanted to join the military, which can be a difficult path for parents to watch their kids enter. Avery’s advice is to be strong in your faith and allow them to explore all the opportunities and resources available to them.
