Religion EN ↓ 4 episodes

A few years ago, I was a working actress and successful public speaking coach who was happily married and living a good life. My reality changed in an instant when I unexpectedly lost my husband, brother, and mother in the short span of 14 months. Join me each week as we take a deep dive into this carnival of chaos called the human experience. This podcast is not about perfection, it's about pursuit. Not about convincing, but about conversing. I'm not looking for followers; I'm searching for family. A family of like minds and hearts. Prepare your heart for tears, laugher, & much more!
