Unified Sports in Utah, Showing Up for our Teachers, and Care Communities in foster care with Kirsten and Sarah

In this week's episode, Utah's First Lady Abby Cox is joined by Kirsten Rappleye (Director of First Lady’s Initiatives) and Sarah Allred (Deputy Director of First Lady's Initiatives) to recap some of the latest updates in our lives including a couple of visits to the emergency room, our favorite unified sports events that we've been to this year, and some of the upcoming unified sports events that are coming up.

Then we recap this year's Show Up For Teachers Conference, how we can continue to show support for our educators, and how the community helped contribute to an amazing event for teachers throughout the state this year.

We also talk about the idea of Care Communities helping address some of the complex issues surrounding foster care, why we need to continue raising awareness for the foster care community, and some highlights from the Summer of Service.

Join Utah’s First Lady Abby Cox and her friends for timely and candid conversations with fascinating people with unique perspectives in an effort to unite us all through our common humanity. Each week, Abby dives into discussions on topics ranging from education to motherhood to mental health and beyond. 

Abby is an outspoken advocate for “getting proximate” with people who have different viewpoints, and using her platform as Utah’s First Lady to combat the empathy crisis our country is facing. 

Come along with us as we journey to bring courage, compassion and connection back into our homes and communities... and have a lot of fun along the way! THANK YOU for being our friend.
