Hey Friends!
Today I am sharing a podcast episode that very well might transform your holiday season…maybe even your whole life. Seriously, that’s a big claim, but have a listen and I think you’ll agree — it’s that powerful.
I’m so happy to be sharing this conversation with Kate Merrick. If you aren’t familiar with Kate yet, you’ll fall in love with her quickly. In this episode I get to tell the funny story of how I met Kate and all of the wild ways our lives now intersect. Kate shares her story of embracing presence in the hardest season of her life and how much she doesn’t regret that now. Friends, this episode is both convicting, and inspiring. I hope you can dive in and listen!

Hi Monica – I just wanted to comment that I LOVED this episode. I mean I LOVE them all but this one just really spoke to me. I felt like I was listening in to a couple girlfriends just chatting. So real and such great reminders to be present with our kids ALL year. It’s something I think most mom’s struggle with and she had such perspective. Thanks for all you do and introducing us to such wonderful guests.
Thank you Heather! The conversation blessed me too! Love hearing from you! 🙂 XO
