In this heartfelt episode of "Live Life Lavishly," I pay tribute to the remarkable life and legacy of Charlie Kirk. Known for his unwavering commitment to his beliefs, Charlie founded Turning Point USA at just 18, creating a movement that engaged young minds across college campuses. Despite facing opposition, he courageously advocated for free speech and Christian values, embodying a life lived lavishly in faith, patriotism, and intelligence. Join me as I reflect on Charlie's impact and the lessons he leaves behind for living life with purpose and abundance.

Thank you for being here.

Join me for a discussion on turning 60!

I talk about my thoughts on being 60 when I was young, when I became an empty nester, when my mom passed away and then actually turning 60!

You don't want to miss some of my thoughts on getting older and what the world tells us to be! I have my own take on getting older and doing it how WE want...not what the world tells us to do.
