Hello, I'm Chrisy Cascarelli.  I was born and raised in Youngstown, OH.  I am the youngest of three daughters. I am a product of the Catholic school system except for the 3 years that I spent in public schools. I was lucky enough to meet my husband shortly after we graduated high school and have been married for over 31 years.  I graduated with a BA in Literature, and I have pretty much had no career path that has anything to do with that degree until now. For the past 20 years I have been very lucky to work for a great family run company based in Youngstown.  My husband and I waited a long time to start a family so all of my pregnancies were geriatric pregnancies.  I have three beautiful children.  I now reside in Wooster, OH. I look forward to creating this podcast with my dear friend from high school. We both have great perspectives on the trials and tribulations of family and life in our very dysfunctional world.

My name is Kerry Pettit and I have been blessed to create an exceptional life with amazing experiences. I grew up in Youngstown OH to a struggling middle class family. I am the youngest of five daughters. I built an amazing career for myself through hard work and dedication.  I was an animal trainer at a theme park in Florida and Ohio. I then moved to Las Vegas to work for a contracted company raising lions for a Las Vegas major resort. From there I moved on to a more grown-up job working in Animal Control before moving back to Ohio in 2013. These days my day job consists of being an Executive Director for a local church.  I have an amazing husband, a son, and two grandchildren. I love to travel, especially to the Carribean. My husband and I also are puppy raisers for a national organization that provides service dogs to people with disabilities. I truly believe that life is what you manifest through hard work, a positive attitude, and by never ever giving up.
