Soul Surgery

In February, one of the podcasters I was listening to said, “You can’t heal without having the conversations.

One quote I heard during a podcast has created a lot of reflection. The podcaster said, “You’re not living life; you’re living the story of your life.” Basically he was saying that your lifeContinue reading “Podcast Queen”

Since it is published, I decided to let you know it is available. A link is coming! InContinue reading “Adulting 101”
