Kimmerly, also known as Emperess, is co-hosting this episode with me to bring us insight into developing intimacy. She is my girl. We can be honest, open, transparent, and real, and hold each other accountable. I love this woman, and I am so happy that she is here on this episode with me.

Our time together will be called: Joy Cometh in The Morning. This is episode one of that series. Look out for more!

It has been a long time since I was able to update you all on the happenings of the farm. Please join to hear about my journey of keeping chickens, but also here two of them in the background of me welcoming college students to the farm to fulfill their Horticulture Therapy Course Requirements.

EDJ and I recently engaged Amanda Opelt in a heartfelt conversation about grief. Afterward, we take some time to talk further about what comes up for us both in our own process of dealing with the grief of a parent passing away.

If you missed the conversation with Amanda, you can catch it on YouTube here.

Amanda Opelt enlightens audience members with her candid and humble approach to dealing with and talking about grief. Come join the conversation, and let us know your story of grief that may add to the complexity of how people grieve.

EDJ and I had a revealing conversation with Meghan Tschanz about sexual experiences and the deconstruction of our faith journey. This is EDJ's and my chance to debrief about other topics that came up and to go a bit deeper. Please join the conversation.

EDJ and Joy team up to give Meghan Tschanz a whirlwind of questions.

I have EDJ with me and we are having heart-to-heart conversations about our views of God being challenged. We welcome you to comment and join the conversation.

She has a degree in Christian Theology, 30ish years of legalistic celibacy under her belt, personal experience in weight loss of 65 pounds, and years of professional experience building a business as a piano teacher. She is also a loving daughter, sister, aunt, wife, and parent who cared for her terminally ill mother and is raising a child born with a cleft lip and palate.

EDJ is back and will become a regular on this podcast. For today's podcast, we are discussing her life with her mother, the death of her mom, and how she finds her mom encouraging her in her life now.

EDJ is a heart winner. With her Australian accent, you will likely be won over to her critical thinking perspective and likely will fall into the web of conversing with her in your head. You will love this episode!
