INSIGHT - A DIFFERENT KIND OF KID SUMMER AND A MEMOIR THAT SPRUNG A LIFE

A DIFFERENT KIND OF KID SUMMER AND A MEMOIR THAT SPRUNG A LIFE  

 

No camp, no vacation, no sleepovers so what’s a kid to do during the dog days of summer?  Mark shares ideas on how he and his wife are attempting to provide a summer that doesn’t make the kiddos feel cheated.  From building a bridge, camping to cannonballs galore – this is what summer looks and feels like!

 

Author, speaker and mental health advocate - Michelle Dickinson talks about how her childhood well prepared her for many things in life and though she possesses many quality traits it’s her resilience that has fueled her to succeed both professionally and personally.  And despite her challenging formative years as a child caregiver to her dear sweet mother that was bi-polar, Michelle remarkably persevered to make her life “normal”.   Hear Mark’s conversation with Michelle as she delves into her past and articulates what life was like in their household where she experienced fear, dread and elation and which she so eloquently expresses in her memoir, “Breaking Into My Life”.  Michelle’s determination and devotion to eradicate the stigma of mental illness and much more is awe inspiring.

“Mark Farrell is a dynamic speaker who will captivate the audience by sharing his personal story of how he was able to overcome challenges in life and worked his way to success.  We scheduled Mark for 45 minutes, but our students were so engaged in his story that Mark spoke for over 1 hour.  I still have students approach me and discuss Mark's message and say, "if he could do it, so can I”
