Season Johnson pulls up a chair at The Kids Table this week for a conversation that hits home for Gunnar and brings you inside a world most people never see. Working closely with children battling cancer, Season shares what her day-to-day actually looks like, from building trust with kids and families to showing up in moments that carry real weight. It’s not just about care, it’s about presence, consistency, and being someone people can lean on when everything feels uncertain.

Along the way the crew gets into the emotional reality of the work, how you learn to communicate with both kids and parents in high-stakes situations, and what it takes to stay grounded while carrying stories that don’t just stay at the hospital. Season also shares her experience caring for Gunnar’s daughter, Monroe, offering a deeply personal look at what that relationship meant on both sides of it and how moments like that shape the way she shows up in her work. She opens up about the lessons these kids have taught her, the perspective that comes from being around that kind of strength, and how it’s changed the way she approaches life outside of work. It’s honest, human, and full of the kind of perspective that sticks with you long after the conversation ends.

About Season Johnson:

Over a decade ago, our family walked through 3.5 years of childhood cancer, and what began as one mother desperately searching for answers has grown into something I never could have dreamed. Today, I have the profound honor of supporting thousands of children and families around the world navigating cancer with the same integrative roadmap that changed our son's story. It is not lost on me for a single day, what a privilege that is.

But before any of that I was just a girl who married her hot husband. Twenty-two years later, I'm still convinced I got the better end of that deal. Together we've built a life that has always found itself near something wild and beautiful, whether that's mountains or the ocean. We've called Mexico home, navigated life in a second language (my Spanish is enthusiastically broken, bless everyone who's had to listen), and landed where we are now, soaking up the sunshine of San Diego.

We have two teenagers who keep us humble and laughing. Our daughter Selah, whom we had the honor and privilege of adopting at birth, is one of the greatest gifts our family has ever received. Her little brother Kicker rounds out our crew and keeps things wonderfully loud, and we celebrate his healing daily. Our home is full, full of faith, full of yummy healing food, an overly crowded supplement & remedy drawer and full of people we love deeply.

This life, every hard and beautiful chapter of it, is what shapes how I show up for every family I work with. I'm not just a practitioner handing you a protocol. I'm a mom who has walked the hardest road and come out the other side with a map. And I want to hand it to you.

Ivey Childers sits down at The Kids Table this week for a conversation that moves from building a custom cake business in Nashville to launching her own tequila brand. Ivey shares how her journey started with curiosity in the kitchen, teaching herself how to bake through trial and error, and how that same instinct led her into a completely new industry years later. From early days testing recipes at work to scaling a business she eventually sold, her path is anything but traditional.

Along the way the crew talks about creativity, risk, and what it looks like to trust your instincts when there’s no clear blueprint. From balancing artistry with business operations to chasing that feeling of building something from scratch, this episode captures the mindset behind starting over and staying connected to what you actually enjoy doing. It’s thoughtful, honest, and full of the kind of perspective that comes from figuring things out as you go.

In addition to features on GAC and Today in Nashville, Ivey has made multiple appearances on The Food Network, and has been featured in several global publications including People Magazine due to her impressive celebrity cake designs.

Ivey’s journey from cupcakes to cocktails was a natural progression. Bringing her recipe development skills home after long days at the bakery, Ivey created tequila-based cocktails to unwind and entertain. After 15 years of searching for the “perfect sipper and mixer”, Ivey took the journey Southbound to Jalisco, Mexico, where she worked extensively with a Master Distiller to find that unique, premium tequila to mix, sip, and savor. Thus, Southbound was born, beginning a new chapter in the Entrepreneur’s career. As Co-founder & CEO of Southbound, Ivey’s mission is to make the consumer tequila choice smoother in an overwhelming market; inviting beginners & tequila enthusiasts alike to Take the Journey Southbound and Rediscover Tequila with a premium, all-occasion spirit anyone can enjoy.
