Grace and Growth with Addie

The world has been loud and heavy and I have been thinking so much about what I need to navigate it well. It’s a work in progress for sure and it doesn’t always work out perfectly, but these things have been helping.

So tell me, how are you doing right now?

In a space of reflection and celebration for almost 200 podcast episodes, my friend Crystal suggested looking at the things that I am not afraid of any more since starting the show. I have loved this theme of looking back and finding growth. This episode was a little bit of a surprise for me and I hope it’s a good place of thought for you, too.

So tell me, what are you not afraid of?

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?
