Special guests are always a pleasure to sit with us on the show. Today’s guest had a little trouble sitting still and staying in her seat lol We have a very very, very, special guest, someone that has been mentioned in almost every single episode thus far, none other than Lil' Dr Jo aka TINA! This has been long awaited and highly requested! And we made it happen. DJ Critical loves kids and is considering borrowing or renting his friends' kids for a “day of play” to see how parenting can be and then give them back. lol We play “What are Tina’s favorite things?” and really get to indulge in the mind of a 4-year-old. This was an incredible experience as you get personal and in-depth with the Vital Check Ahow! We are family!

Here at the Vital Check Show, we understand that although we bring forth positivity, enjoyment, laughs, and entertainment along with information and thought-provoking discussions, there’s a balance.

This week we’re loaded with shields and antidotes. Shame, blame and perfectionism are all parts of the viscous cycle we call life that we navigate day to day. But we are resilient. We adapt and pivot. Be kinder to yourself , let the light in through the crack. We’re here for a good time not a long time. Enjoy!Excerpts from Brené Brown's Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead.
