Today, Kim is in the studio to give you a quick update. We know consistency is key in podcasting, so she's sharing a few upcoming changes.

Change #1: Due to an unexpected health issue Kim had this past week, we are starting our holiday break a little earlier than planned. Like we did during our summer break, we’ll repost some past episodes that we don’t want you to miss.

Change #2: Kim is fine health-wise, but she needs to slow things down a bit, so starting this week, we are moving to an every-other-week posting schedule. 

We’ll kick off our new season on January 14. We have some incredible guests already lined up for the Spring! I’m looking forward to sharing them with you. 

We still have a lot to talk about, so I hope you’ll make plans to join us. Have a great Christmas!!

#141: This week is Thanksgiving, so it’s the perfect backdrop to discuss becoming a more thankful person. We have the whole podcast crew on this episode, and we are sharing our best tips and truths for growing in thankfulness and gratitude.

One of the choices you can make as a single woman to invest in yourself and a future marriage is to develop your character. There are many things you can’t change, but you can change your character. God has a part in this process and we do too.

We hope you will be spurred on to be a more thankful person, not only this week, but all year long!
