  • 131: {Solo} Give Over Take All Day Long
    Jun 17 2025

    Text me!

    Friends, this is has been a HUGE takeaway in this season of life and my main message today is as my husband Gary would say, "giving is winning". And what I mean by that is that we always have to give before we take. No matter if that's giving time, engagement or just being a genuine supporter. What comes back is always in 10 fold. Plus it always feels better to give, rather than to take.

    Thanks for listening!
