Episode Description
Do you remember what it felt like to be in a teenager in love? I remember being a teen and listening to the words of Slick Rick’s song that goes “A serious situation we all go through, It deals with your feelings, so hear what I say, It's like a day where nothing seems to go your way, Bust this, two people, they really like each other, He says there's no one else and she claims there is no other, The feelings are same, and you receive a notion, To reveal your inner thoughts and deeply hid emotions - A teenage love, a teenage love.

Today our guest, Dr. Rolanda Schmidt who is an author, motivation speaker, professor but most of all she is the mother of four including her beloved son Giovanni who received his wings and two bonus children.
