Episode 127 -- Amy Turns 60! -- Interviewed By Seth Morson (the new son-in-law!)

Having to answer a lot of the questions that I ask guests can be difficult, but I did it! We meant to air this actually on my birthday, but life happened and I stopped podcasting for a minute. With Becca and Seth’s wedding pending and my 97 year old mother passing away four days prior to the wedding, I stopped. I celebrated and I mourned and tried to reset.So here we are back! I am thrilled that Seth is now officially a part of the family and the wedding was over the top in what the two kids wanted, but seeing their friends come together makes me want to explore more of the dynamics that make it happen. I have some fantastic friends in Teresa, Lyn, Jennifer and Dawn. A sister I treasure in Margaret. Children who make my world work through Isaac, Becca and Tori. Kids who joined our family through marriage in Kim and Seth who quickly become us. and my spouse, Tom who carries more than he should have to as I sort out this crazy life. and all of the kids who have come into our lives making it so much better!THEY ALL THREW A 60th birthday party right in the middle of this wedding!This was fun. March 24th is my birthday and I get to share with you an interview conducted by my future son-in-law, Seth Morson. I am a roll up the sleeve kind of worker and person. We sat down and chatted a bit as he set out to introduce me to you. We talk family structure and what we did within our family.Seth noted how different our kids are from one another and how we support each one as an individual. We talk about our family and who we present ourselves to be as we add to our framework. Seth says that we soak in people and we gather people as we meet them. We love people and love helping them figure out who they are meant to be.We talk about change and Covid and the emotions and responsibilities and how to deal with internet, family, work and careers. We explore how we live intentionally.We talk about parenting, what it was like to juggle a career and relying on friends and parenting together in community-- building your own community and what you need at different times.There is a chance to dive into career and the advertising industry and talking about the mediums that we operate in and having Isaac work with me. Being an asset in the industry is a fascinating part of our conversation. We dive into relationships and how that affects personally and professionally. We talk about the Stackhouse work ethic and what it is like to accept love, care and the giving process.Know who you host is…Amy Stackhouse and the Stackhouse family gives light according to Seth and for that we are very grateful. As a people connector, the common denominator is that people are not alone. People need to feel loved and that they are contributing. We impact the world as we live life with honesty and straight forwardness.
