On the May 7 episode (Episode 1, Season 15 of RHOA), Marlo discussed her plans to try a new parenting style for the boys. After enjoying a delicious taco dinner, Marlo and her nephews received a visit from a guest. “Recently, the boys and I have been seeing a life coach,” Marlo said in a confessional. She explained how the life coach has been a positive force in their lives and has taught her “how to parent.”

During their family meeting, one topic that came up was when Marlo briefly sent the boys to live with their aunt last season. Marlo admitted it was “one mistake” of hers, but William intervened to say it was partially their fault as he and his brother were going through a difficult time.The remark touched Marlo, and she immediately hugged her younger nephew.

Following Marlo’s heart-to-heart moment with her younger nephew, the life coach questioned the trio about their family’s mission statement that represents who they are. Michael stepped up to the plate to share the message they came up with.

“We are a family that comes together when the time is needed,” Michael told their life coach. He continued, “And we are a family that loves each other, and we always have each other back.”
