I’m with the hilarious Melanie Shankle today talking about writing, blogging, fashion, and finding joy in the small things
In this episode we discuss:
The real story of the early days of blogging
The power of the small things in our lives - Mother Teresa said, “If you want to change the world, go home and love your family.” I think that’s where you look and go that’s my legacy.
I feel like Church of the Small Things was my journey of God bringing me back around to know you are exactly where you are, doing exactly what I want you to do and if I’m calling you to something bigger you’re gonna know that, but for today I want you to do what’s right in front of you.
It's trusting that none of us have a small life because God is using every bit of it. That’s why He put us here and that’s why He put us where we are. Bonus: After the interview join me as I answer your questions about life, faith, and business.
In this episode, I answer these questions-
1. What is your go-to coping mechanism when you feel overwhelmed? (44:21)
2. Do your non-Christian family members question what you are doing with your life and how do you answer? (48:22)
3. How did you balance being a wife and mom starting a new business? (51:04)
