In this week’s episode of the Stories That Sparkle Podcast, I sit down with Kathryn, who is a woman I have known for almost twenty years, and from whom I have learned a lot of important spiritual lessons.

This is the second conversation I recorded on my 10-day driving tour outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Because so much came up for me during that trip and by the time I got to Kathryn’s house, I really wanted to ask her about how she grows through the good. The result is a continuation of the back and forth exchange of spiritual ideas that started when I arrived at her house the day before. (I learned a lot of lessons about pacing myself by not pacing myself. I look forward to putting all that into practice on the upcoming 4-week, cross-country tour).

Also: early on, you will hear from Sadie, Kathryn’s pup, who chomps on her bone, and once in while, chimes in.

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

I am so grateful that I get to record women’s stories, amplify women’s voices, and celebrate women’s choices. To support my work, help me get the word out: share the podcast with others and encourage them to pass it on. Thank you!
