Tomorrow marks the Home and Hearth Podcast’s 1 Year Anniversary! I cannot believe this show has been going strong for a full year already! It doesn’t seem possible, and yet I almost can’t even remember life before I started podcasting! I have had the honor and joy of getting to chat with some of the most encouraging, inspiring, amazing women who have shared their wisdom and insight with us on a whole host of topics ranging from motherhood, marriage, and homemaking, to the Christian walk, health and fitness, and current even issues in the culture. It’s been a truly amazing year, and I am so grateful to each of my guests and to all my amazing listeners!
As the one year podcast-a-versary quickly approached, my brilliant friend Kayla Nelson (who you may remember from episode 19 when she came on the show to interview me about my book!) had yet another brilliant idea and suggested that she come on the show again, this time to interview me about the first year of the podcast! I thought that sounded like to much fun, so that conversation is what you have the chance to listen in on today! I hope you enjoy it. 🙂
