This episode is all about helping this momma get through a very difficult time in her and her family's life right now.
This whole hour will be focused on Kathure’s family and her daughter, little Beautiful Ayah. Last November, Ayah got diagnosed with SMA which stands for Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

What can we do to keep sane during this long dreadful winter especially with the corona times? Today I have a blogger that is writing, filming and taking pictures of all her fun adventures with her kids. She has been living in Denmark for over 10 years.

Ep 12:Adapting To Denmark During The Pandemic
On Today’s episode, we will be talking about how some internationals have to change their life when moving abroad. Many International spouse’s don’t get enough credit for moving their life to a new country. They are leaving their life behind, so their other half can follow their dream jobs. I talk to so many internationals that had to give up their career or business behind in their home country and literally start over in Denmark. It takes courage to start over and move abroad, but many spouses living abroad support their partners so they take the leap of faith to the unknown.
