  • Gossip

    There's a reason why gossiping has such a bad connotation to it. As we head into the holiday weekend, I felt right now was the perfect time to share how I overcame gossiping and really just address an aspect to gatherings that can be really common. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas. I am so thankful for every single one of you who listens to these episodes!
