Adulting - What's That?

Welcome to "Adulting — What's That?" because who knows what the heck we're doing anyway? In Episode Fifteen, host of The Happy Hour podcast, author of If You Only Knew, and sought after speaker, Jamie Ivey, joined Kirsten for a light-hearted, wisdom-filled, and all around encouraging conversation. They talked about the immense power of gratitude, her various passions and how she's incorporating them on all of her platforms, the value of a diverse community, and as always, adulting fails, including some major credit card debt. Her heart is so pure, genuine, and actively pursuing a Gospel-filled life.

Jamie also generously gave away two signed copies of her book, If You Only Knew, so head over to Instagram to enter in!
