This week on the podcast—y’all—we have one of the people who has been at the top of our hopes list for YEARS. Maybe even a decade. If you’re not familiar with Kelly Corrigan’s work, please buy one—or all—of her books right now! Tell Me More, Glitter and Glue, The Middle Place, Lift, and a children’s book called Hello World. 
Huffington Post called Kelly the “poet laureate of the ordinary”. Not only is she a fabulous writer of four New York Times Bestsellers, but she is the host of a TV show on PBS called Tell Me More and a podcast called Kelly Corrigan Wonders. 
We cannot WAIT For you to listen in on this podcast as Kelly talks, with her trademark humor, insight and grace, about Parenting Young Adults and the VERY best thing to say to a teenager.

Episode 170: Parenting Through Infertility, Loss and Adolescence

We have been hearing about our new friend, Sara Hagerty for quite some time from so many friends we love and trust, and we finally got to meet and have a conversation with her just a few weeks ago. Okay…we’re gonna throw out just a few of her book titles for you: Every Bitter Thing is Sweet, Tasting the Goodness of God in All Things; Unseen, The Gift of Being Hidden in a World that Loves to Be Noticed; Adore, A Simple Practice for Experiencing God in the Middle Minutes of Your Day; and her newest, The Gift of Limitations, Finding Beauty in Your Boundaries. Don’t you just want to read them all?
Sara is a mom of 7 kids—yes, you read that correctly! She is deeply kind, thoughtful, wise, and peppers her words with so much grace. We can’t wait for you to listen in on this conversation. We are confident you’ll love Sara as much as we do. And we are so grateful for the reminder that our limitations can, in fact, be some of our greatest gifts.
