Meet Me on the Couch episodes

  • Ep. 11 - Letting go so you can receive something amazing
    Hey friend! In today’s episode, I am sharing my story of meeting and marrying my husband. Our journey to meet one another was very different for us each. I am talking about the importance of letting go so you can receive something quite unexpected and perhaps even amazing. I am also talking about the importance of living your life while waiting for “your person.” Lastly, I want you to hear how very important it is for you to focus on what you have versus that which you do not. Welcome to episode # 11 friend. I am so happy you are here!
