Five years ago, we sat down with a couple of microphones, no real clue what we were doing, and a simple desire to encourage women through the ups and downs of life.

Fast forward to today...

🎉 270+ episodes later.

🎉 Tens of thousands of downloads (mind blowing)

🎉 Listeners in every U.S. state and around the world (yes...we're still wondering how Singapore found us! 😂).

🎉 Countless laughs, tears, technical glitches, life lessons, and reminders that God is faithful through it all.

In this special listener inspired episode (thank you Val), we're pulling back the curtain on what it's really been like to podcast together for the last five years.

We'll share:

Whether you've listened since Episode 1 or you're brand new, we're so grateful you're part of the Life Happens, Laugh Anyway family.

Thank you for showing up mostly each week, laughing with us, crying with us, and reminding us that none of us has to do life alone.

You don't have to be famous, have the perfect equipment, or know exactly what you're doing to make a difference.

Sometimes God simply asks us to keep showing up.
