This episode of The Stories That Sparkle Podcast is the first in a trio of conversations I recorded on a mini driving tour around various towns outside the perimeter of Atlanta, GA. Over ten days, I covered 1,400 miles start to finish, stayed in multiple homes, and recorded three different with women I know. It was a trial run in preparation for the big cross-country tour I am doing in September (more about that at the end of this episode). While I did not plan it—at least not intentionally—all three conversations very explicitly revolve around spirituality, the woo, or whatever else you might want to call it.

Anyways, for this first conversation, I sit down with Julie, a woman who sparkles with effervescence from every part of her being, and listen to her share about the death of her (adult) son Luke. And while we get into the deep grief and pain of that impossible loss, Julie, who reflects the same love for life that Luke had, carries a message of hope, spiritual connection, and courage that you will not want to miss.

So, I invite you to get comfortable, sit back, and listen in.
