"The soul that longs for divine wisdom chooses first, and in truth, to enter the thicket of the cross." - St. John of the Cross This is a podcast about suffering, and about hope. Rachael, Erin, and Nicole are friends who have supported each other through various ups and downs of life in the past few years. We believe it is important to have a space to speak honestly about some of the more difficult times of life... without losing sight of hope and humour!
