A Fridge Re-Org and the Definition of Grace.

Today’s episode is about a fridge re-org and the notion of ’earning one’s keep.’ Well, sort of. It’s really about the facet of grace that is so hard for us to accept: undeserved favor.

Thank You Anne Lamott!

On today’s episode, I share some beautiful words from Anne Lamott’s newest book ’Somehow: Thoughts on Love.’ I received a signed copy (yay!) and I absolutely love this book. This particular chapter is about what happens when our ’secret life,’ the parts of ourselves we’d like to remain hidden, are revealed.

Maybe We All Need Some of These Reminders!

This is a post-retreat episode! After listening to women share their stories, dreams, and fears over three days together, I found there are a few reminders that we may all need. About giving ourselves grace, about what an incredible job we are doing, about belonging. So, today I share some words inspired by some incredible women.
