    Thankful to find this podcast
    Hey there! I just listened to my first two episode (22&23) and I cried and laughed and smiled so much throughout my listen. I am in the process of revitalizing a program that never got off the ground but has been in existence for almost 20 years. This was a big leap of faith into absolutely terrifying water and I know I have the knowledge to get going and I have the desire to grow. And finding your resources and energy has helped me to feel like I am doing the right thing and I am making the right decision. I can bring my passions together in the way I’ve always wanted and I don’t have to feel like I’m making something up as I go. So thank you! And keep rocking!!!
