Today’s episode is a fun and informal one! And it actually took a turn down a path I hadn’t planned and we just rolled with it. I honestly think I’ve never laughed this much while recording a podcast ever! I hope it maybe makes you laugh… or you can just laugh at us laughing so hard (I literally had tears streaming down my face I was laughing so hard!)
In this episode, we not only share about Kathrynne’s college decision and what led to that decision (and why she’s going about things in a creative and non-traditional way), but we also share about a few crazy things that happened on my book launch day. (Note: you might not want to listen to this section if you have a weak stomach.) Plus, we talk about Jesse doing the 75Hard program.
Note: This episode was recorded before the Nashville shooting. We paused recording this past week because I wanted to address it in some way and didn’t have the words or clarity yet. We’ll have an episode going up next week that I recorded yesterday with Katie Davis Majors where we talk more about it and she has so much wisdom to share with mamas who are struggling with fear of the unknown for your kids as a result.
