About Us: The Heart Behind Parents Guide to the World

Hey there! Welcome to the heart of Parents Guide to the World. We're Shea and Sam, and if you've been following our journey, you know we're a family who embraces life with open arms – and sometimes, open wounds.

Our family is everything to us, including our beloved pets who bring so much joy to our daily adventures. We started Parents Guide to the World as a blog, a place to share the fun of bonding with our kids, practical advice for navigating parenthood, and crucial tips for child safety. We believe in living life fully, finding happiness in every moment, and pouring our love into everything we do.

But our story isn't just about sunshine and rainbows. Life has thrown us more than a few curveballs. Between us, we've navigated a complex landscape of health challenges, from childhood leukemia and pertussis, through ITP, ongoing skin cancer scares, heart and blood pressure issues, fibromyalgia, strokes, and even a terrifying brain tumor. These "constant struggles" have left their marks, shaping us, but never breaking us. They've given us a profound understanding of what it means to truly fight, to live with unseen scars, and to keep pushing when healing feels just out of reach. We also understand the unique mental health battles, including ADHD and bipolar disorder, that often accompany such journeys. We carry the memory of those lost from diseases like cancer, fueling our fight for those who remain.

This deeply personal journey inspired the creation of the Final Unbroken Collective. It's our way of extending a hand to everyone who understands that constant struggle. Through our shop, we offer more than just products; we offer symbols of resilience. From Shea's line, celebrating the unbreakable spirit that defies chronic illness, to Sam's "Final Girl" line, embracing the dark aesthetics of survival and rising from life's true horrors, every item is a badge of honor.

Our YouTube channel is where you'll find us sharing more of our family adventures and candid moments of joy and triumph. And our blog continues to be a hub for practical advice and heartfelt insights into family life.

We're not just a brand; we're a real family, with real struggles, and an unbreakable commitment to finding hope through darkness. We invite you to explore our world – whether you're looking for parenting support, a symbol of your own resilience, or just a friendly face to connect with. Thank you for being a part of our collective.
