It's ok to not be ok!

It is March which mean is it Social Worker Month (woo!).  Fellow Licensed Clinical Social Worker and LCS' Community Service Coordinator, Brandi Wadley, sits down with Megan and Laura for a panel discussion all about social work and mental health.  You'll learn more about what social work is, what social workers do and how they are breaking barriers in today's culture.  We end the discussion with some "Mental Health 101" talking about what mental health is, the stigma around it/ how to improve it and how to help yourself or those in your life who might be battling a mental health issue.

Five years ago we sat at a Chilis and shared that we wanted something to change in our devotional life.  Over some margaritas and chips & salsa, we came up with a plan to hold each other accountable.  In this episode we talk about our process, how we hold each other accountable, books we've read, challenges we've seen but the abundance of blessings that have come from it.  

Resources/ books to give you a start in your devotional life:

- Bible App - can find many devotions in this app along with the Bible, of course. It can also read to you so you can listen in your car or while on the go. 

- "Whispers of Hope" by Beth Moore

- "Find Rest" by Shaunti Feldhahn

- "100 Days of Joy and Strength" - Candace Cameron Bure

- "100 Days to Brave" - Annie F Downs

- "The Message// Remix: Solo" - Eugene H Peterson

- "Daily Grace: The Mockingbird Devotional Vol 2"

- "Fighting Words" - Ellie Holcomb

We are back.  It's been awhile since we've put out an episode due to a lot of changes in both of our lives, so we thought that we would spend some time talking about just that.... change.  Sometimes change is good, sometimes it is hard, sometimes it takes awhile for it to make a positive impact in our lives.  In this episode we talk about how change has impacted the past couple months and reassure our dedicated listeners that it's ok to not be ok when it comes to change.

The whole birth of Jesus takes up about five whole sentences in each Gospel.  Leave it to two chatty and inquisitive women and moms to analyze everything that led up to Jesus' birth and the events after.  We are so thankful for the gift that Mary brought into the world on Christmas Day with quiet humility.

Happy Halloween! It's one of Megan's favorite days so only fitting that we do a podcast talking all things Halloween - costumes, parties, decorations, history and more. A lot of classic "Megan and Laura Chit Chat" with a little but of serious. Check out our instagram for more pictures of Halloween past.
