Guest Quote:
“It's incredible the amount of impact that you have, and I also think it's a great responsibility for what you share and the message that you're putting out. That's one thing that my husband and I decided whenever we started doing this, that we were going to stay on the line of being family friendly, maintaining our values, and always staying true to ourself in that way, because with great power comes great responsibility, right?” -Brooke Ashley Hall
