  • It's Hard to Make Friends Post-College | Social Steps Founder, Hannah Whitesell

    When Hannah moved to a brand new city a few months ago….she was very clear that she wanted deeper, better, stronger female friendships. But how do you do that when you just moved to a place you don’t know anyone? Heck- how do you do that when you have lived in a place for FOREVER and still feel like you don’t know anyone?


    She created SOCIAL STEPS! Which now has almost 30k followers on Instagram, and HUNDREDS of girls showing up to walk each week.


    Mission? To create a space where no girl has to walk the journey of self discovery alone.


    In this episode we talk about:

    - How hard it is to make/meet/keep new friends in this digital day and age

    - How much harder it is to make friends post-college

    - Importance of good female friendships in your life

    - How to know when to trust someone to open up 


    I pray this blesses you friend!

    • Christmas Special: For the Hurting

      Special Made to Shine CHRISTMAS episode <3


      So often we get caught up in the glitz and glam of Christmas- we forget the essential promise of what it all means.


      This is for my friend struggling with grief, worry, concern, loss, insecurity, loneliness, or shame this Christmas. May we never forget that we have a God that chose to meet us in the midst of our darkness, not on the other side of it.
