I am officially graduated from college! I walked across the stage and didn’t trip! What a relief!! But in all seriousness, I am so grateful for my education and the lessons I have learned in college. I couldn’t have done it without my husband, my family, my friends, my professors, and my listeners. The STRIVE Podcast is one of those tangible gems I get to carry with me even after getting my degree. Thanks for listening to today’s episode and I hope you enjoy!

Christmas time is filled with so much good!! However, it can also be filled with financial burdens. I really wanted to have an intimate conversation with all of you about tithing. Even though it might be easier and tempting to save that extra 10% for gifts and other holiday expenses, it is best to continue to give that money to the Lord. I talk about some miracles that come when paying our tithing. Thank you for listening. You are loved!

Jill opens us up into her life and shares her vulnerable and valuable story with us today. This episode we recorded gives me chills. As I was editing, my heart is just filled to the brim. We talk about a very applicable topic of navigating our 20’s in college and post grad life. We also talk about her counseling journey and the methods that she has used to get to know herself better and her younger self better.

This episode was a very emotional one for me to edit. I used to have some fears surrounding the temple and I wish I could have heard Emma’s spirit filled advice at that point in time. Emma is the creator of the account called “Poherful” where she encourages striving women all over the world to make the temple a priority. She also teaches simple truths and principles about what the temple is. I am forever grateful for Emma for making time to record with me. She is such a light. Thanks for listening, friends. You are loved. MORE STRIVE: https://instagram.com/strivewithabby?igshid=NzZlODBkYWE4Ng%3D%3D&utm_source=qr POHERFUL: https://instagram.com/poherful?igshid=NzZlODBkYWE4Ng==
