Find Your Spark

“FIND YOUR SPARK” is a podcast that shares real-life stories of realizing the potential and impact of your SPARK, in the middle of a busy life. Your hosts Brooke Wheeldon-Reece, President of The SPARK Initiative – a non-profit organization – and Ashley Hunt, Director of Program Development, dive deep into conversations about life, family, running a business, the youth they work with, and the impact their work has daily. The episodes are funny, digestible, honest, and profoundly helpful. As working moms and entrepreneurs, Brooke and Ashley navigate the sticky realities of daily life, all while working to make this world a better place.

In honor of Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness month, Brooke speaks with a very special guest, Brianne Grebil. Brianne was not only a caregiver for her mother the past 5 years, she also recently released a book about her experience, Love Doesn’t Care if You Forget. In this episode, Brianne shares what her experience has taught her about life, relationships, and being human with other humans (on and off social media). Listen as Brooke and Brianne sift through her lessons learned and uncover that in each lies a lesson for us all.
