When I sat down to record Episode 7 with Shanell, we had no idea that the conversation would take us in so many different directions. While the main content can be found in the original episode, I also wanted to share some of the other things we talked about.
This conversation is what happens when I sit down with girlfriends to chat about a book and then up talking about life. This bonus content is a more personal episode.
Quick warning that some of the topics covered are about grief and struggles with Christianity. If that could potentially be triggering to you, please look at the timestamps below to skip over those sections.
