Our Story

In 2024, a documentary was made about us. Our journey — from our love story, to the extraordinary miracle of connecting with our autistic son, to developing our philosophies for personal growth and helping families worldwide, and even navigating the life-changing challenge of being diagnosed with 5 days to live — it’s our story, in our words.
