This podcast is the product of the conversations that I've walked away from thinking, "OMG me too... I thought that was just me!" I'm aiming to create a judgment free zone where you can feel connected and reassured. Occasionally featuring guests, we will discuss our semi-unfiltered thoughts/experiences on a wide variety of topics ranging from important things like mental health, parenting, and life goals to silly things like embarrassing moments, alien sightings, and the things we shouldn't say at family functions but really want to... You're never alone at the table because you can sit by me.
I’m creating a space for Christian women who still struggle with making mistakes but know how imperative it is to cling closely to God as we navigate life and try to channel Proverbs 31 woman energy. This is an ongoing segment of the podcast which I’m calling Forever31🩷

The best way to contact me is to send an email to youcansitbymepodcast@gmail.com, and I will do my best to incorporate your topic into conversation in a future episode.
