Grace and Growth with Addie

Adding on to the last episode about personal survival when things are busy, I’ve been thinking about how to care of others in the same space. Especially in our own house, caring for those we love can feel like just another job. But if we are all healthy and happy, busy seasons are much more manageable.

So tell me, what are you working on right now?

For the most part, I genuinely believe that we are all just trying to live life and be happy. No matter what is going on in the world, we are all just trying to do the best we can. With that in mind, I dug deep into what this means. It helped me to investigate it further and remember the things that I need to keep implementing in my life. I hope it helps you as well.

So tell me, what are you doing to be happy right now?

Scarlett St Clair is a long time friend of the show and when she writes a book, she comes on the show. It’s just what we do. I feel like our friendship has grown in front of you and having her back feels like we all get to hang out. Her new book, Apples Dipped in Gold is a fairy tale retelling that is set in a rich world with characters that we love to hate and love to love. She is a delight and I am always glad to have her here.

So tell me, What are you doing for fun?

In Missouri and across the country, there are some big things happening in politics. It’s overwhelming. It’s loud. It’s honestly almost too much. I leaned into two trusted resources (and friends) to help me sort out what matters and how to clear up some of the clutter when I am thinking about how and who to vote for. I hope this conversation helps you in whatever you are thinking about right now.

So tell me, What are you learning?
