Growing up on a ranch in the panhandle of Texas definitely gave Frankie Sims a unique childhood experience compared to those in more suburban/ city areas. Her ability to work with others and get the job done from an early age as influenced her word ethic and team-centered approach today. As a speech-language pathologist, Frankie has had a major impact on the lives of her clients, their families and on the lives of the students she mentors and teaches. Frankie's interest in positive psychology and personal development are not surprising since she is the type of person who seems to look on the bright side of things in life. Her calming and happy energy as well as her wealth of knowledge and interesting information make her a fun person to be around. And now, on to today's #TuesdayTalk episode with Frankie Sims.

If you're big enough and strong enough and you're there and a job needs to be done, it's your job.” -Frankie Sims, on instilling values in her children
