Janel won't hesitate to share a smile or a wave when she sees you - a tip we could all probably do more of.  She is a hair stylist by day, which I am pretty sure gives her a super power of being able to relate and read people quite well.  Then she turns into a chill mom at night that likes to hang out with her husband, two sons, and two cats.  Her family has some unique characteristics to be appreciated and she shares about them and how she stays upbeat about them on this episode.

tRR #26 Mom Series Episode #5 - Patty * Relationships * Becoming a Morning Person
I have to thank my daughter for introducing me to Patty.  She discovered and loved Patty's book: A Teen's Guide to Wellness, Purpose and Abundance.  We then got to meet Patty in person at a Young Living's International Grand Convention and Patty has been an inspiration to both of us every since.  Patty definitely fits the role of an optimist and I love it!  Her enthusiasm will brighten anyone's day and she genuinely cares to encourage others. There are many topics we could discuss with Patty, but for this episode we decide on building stronger relationships with others, including the teen population and her adventure of turning from a "Night Owl" to a "Morning Person".  Patty has many tools in her toolkit to share and I'm sure you'll find several that will directly benefit you.
