Welcome to a September Wednesday where the weather is starting to show hints of cooler days ahead! I am so honored to have one of my bonus kids, Tyler Hendzel, join me at my kitchen table this week to talk about his ability to maintain a healthy outlook on life despite the childhood chaos that propelled him into adult responsibilities at a really young age. Tyler basically lost two foundational family units by the time he was 13 and taught himself how to "leave home at home" while seeking stability in sports and leaning on his close friends.
Ty also chats about being the class clown, how he chooses to identify as a husband and dad, closet kegs, and how not being broke can change the family dynamic.
Get cozy!
Karen's note: Kennywood Park gets a mention during the pod, and I did look it up to confirm that Kennywood is one of the oldest amusement parks in the U.S. as we suspected. It's in the top 10 oldest amusement parks and is one of only two amusement parks to be given a National Historic Landmark designation!
