What if the only thing standing between someone and their potential is whether they’re allowed to believe it exists?

In this powerful milestone episode of Girls Gone Gritty, the hosts celebrate their 100th show by welcoming two extraordinary guests whose story redefines grit, resilience, and possibility. Dave Clark, a former professional baseball player who competed on crutches, and Doug Cornfield, founder of Disability Dream & Do, share a journey rooted in courage, creativity, and unwavering belief.

Listeners hear how Dave’s parents never treated him as “less than,” how doubt was never passed down, and how thinking differently, including mastering the knuckleball, opened doors others thought were closed. Beyond sports, this episode highlights the life-changing impact of kindness, from a childhood act that altered Dave’s future to a movement that now empowers children and adults with disabilities to explore their potential.

This conversation is a reminder that limitations do not define destiny. With stories of perseverance, purpose, and paying it forward, this episode invites listeners to rethink what’s possible when we stop saying “you can’t” and start asking “what if?”

What if the conversations we avoid as parents are the ones our kids need most?

In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley and Jennifer tackle one of the most uncomfortable but important topics in parenting: sex, virginity, and how to talk to your kids about it without shame, fear, or denial. What starts as a candid question quickly becomes a raw, honest discussion about generational shifts, real-life expectations, and why pretending teens are not curious or sexually developing does more harm than good.

The hosts explore what age sex realistically enters the picture, how pressure, alcohol, and silence can shape first experiences, and why open communication matters more than strict rules. They reflect on their own experiences, the difference between boys and girls, modern dating culture, and the emotional weight teens carry when they feel unprepared or left out.

This episode also zooms out to broader themes of responsibility, health, and agency, touching on burnout, body awareness, food transparency, and raising kids who feel confident asking hard questions. The core message is simple but powerful: you cannot protect your children by avoiding reality, but you can guide them by staying present, honest, and human.
