We’re five author and speaker friends who meet online every month to encourage each other in life. We went to Waco, Texas for some girlfriend time and we took you with us!
We filmed this event at one of the lovely renovated Magnolia homes in Waco. During Hope for the Holidays, you’ll hear real talk from real women about real life challenges. We talk about how to:
- Set boundaries to help you manage family drama during the holidays
- Take care of yourself when time is short and demands are high
- Build support systems to help you navigate changes in life
- Create realistic expectations so you can enjoy your holiday season to the fullest
- Decorate, cook, and look your best for the holidays;
- BONUS SEGMENT: We're talking about facing grief during the holiday season and it's gritty, real and full of grace for you!
Real help and real hope are available to you right now.
What are you waiting for?
