Mentorship can show up in our lives in all sorts of ways. The truth is, we’re all being advised and led throughout our lives by many different people. But how do we know who our mentors should be? On this episode of God Hears Her, Elisa and Eryn focus on the definition of mentorship, how to pursue someone worth following, and some red flags you may experience in unhealthy mentoring relationships.
