Welcome back! Today, I'm thrilled to have Debra Fileta joining us. You might remember her from Smart Girl Summer last year, and I couldn't think of a better way to kick off the new year because she's written an excellent book on soul care.

In this episode, we're diving deep into the world of soul care. We'll cover everything you need to know: what to focus on, what pitfalls to avoid, and actionable steps to nurture your soul.

Debra’s Recommendations: 

The song that Debra is loving right now is On Time God by Women Evolve Worship. It’s really good and is exactly what I need right now.

Her fun TV recommendations are The Great British Baking Show and Junior Bake Off. It is so relaxing and the pace is great. 

Books that Debra has told someone they need to read are Imagine Heaven by John Burke and Heaven is Real by Todd Burpo and Lynn Vincent. It’s a really good conversational piece to talk through the beliefs our kids have.
