Embracing Everyday Women

Meet our dearest, Netanya. She spent most of her senior year of high school in quarantine and she shares how she was transformed by that experience. She was able to focus on her family, start a new business (yes, while still in high school!), and learn how to be content with being alone. We learned a lot from this bright young lady during our time with her and hope that this episode encourages you just as much! In Netanya's words, remember that, "We carry the light of Jesus".
