Samantha and Melissa open with their fails as usual. Melissa's daily life is a fail ( as we can all relate.) Samantha fails to realize she agreed for keep the class pet for two weeks... Did it survive?

Today the girls are joined with licensed psychotherapist, spirit guide, and past life regression therapist - Ellen Dionna. This episode is chalk full of beautiful new ways to look at life as we know it through the depths of past lives. When skillfully led into hypnosis, Ellen can help you walk entirely through each of your previous lives. This is a tool that we can use to further understand how past traumas and fears have altered who we are today through epigenetics. There are even studies that have shown how skills we've had in previous lives lead us to passions we have now.

Do we have one life? Are we born again? Is trauma and behavior passed to us through more than just our current family? No one may truly know but I can guarantee this episode will leave you thinking.

As you all know we LOVE to share our fails with you. This episode is the full story of how our charity event felt like fail after fail.

However, though it felt like a fail because it wasn't as we originally envisioned it. It was a huge success that is supporting just as many families as hoped for. At the end of the day, we did in fact hit the goal with the love and support from you all. Thank you so much for being a part of " the epic fail". We hope you feel the same pride that we do.
