Podcast Episode: Stuff that Matters
Katherine and I released a podcast episode today! I’m having so much fun having these conversations with her every other week.
We start with our current Highs and Lows (i.e., getting ready for Spring gardening, Hawaii trip planning, and plumbing problems). Then we shift into Today’s Topic focused our physical environments. Next we share a couple of Tips & Tricks (like throat spray for preventing infection and recommendations for gardening with children). Finally, we close out with Facing Forward to share what we want to make true in our lives in the next two weeks as we work to cultivate lives full of joy, purpose, and community.
