Welcome to the Raising Boys and Girls podcast. I'm Sissy Gough.

I'm David Thomas. And I'm Melissa Trevathan.

And we are so glad you've set us out a few minutes to spend with us today.

In each episode of this podcast, we'll share some of what we're learning in the work we do with

kids and families on a daily basis at Days Are Counseling in Nashville, Tennessee.

Our goal is to help you care for the kids in your life with a little more understanding,

a little more practical help and a whole lot of hope.

were at my house in the power went out and my dad texted me and said, JT Martin and their

kids have been picking up all the sticks in your yard. Like I didn't ask you. I didn't,

I mean, nothing. It's what friends and family do. Not everyone does that.

And you all, I mean, it was why we wanted you on here. You are two of the kindest,

most thoughtful, most giving, intentional people I've ever known in my entire life.

Well, thank you. And I mean that with every fiber of my being. And it's who you are as friends

that like I get to be a beneficiary. And I love that my sister and hearing it to be
