Hi friend! I enjoyed having Polly and Rachel on the podcast last week to hear their stories of how they met and how @thrivinghome began. We talk about their views of food and how that has changed. You can also find their yummy recipes that they mention. That is one episode back, number 115 if you want to check it out!

And, if you are liking what you hear I would love for you to do one of these three things that have to do with you podcast app on your phone….1)leave a star rating..you can even do that one right now if you are on your podcast app! Click the stars right under the title Friends of a Feather. A 5 star rating would be great! 2) Leave a fun quick review….it could be as simple as: I love the guests on the podcast! OR I am encouraged by the podcast! Simple is great! OK one more thing you could pick…3)tap the three little buttons on your podcast app to send this episode to a friend. I love getting a text from a friend with a podcast attached to it! Thanks ya’ll.

Today’s episode is with my friend, Katie Lewis. You may know Katie from her online company, Dear Mushka. Katie shares with us her story of walking through grief when she lost her mother a few years ago. She hasn’t ever really talked about it publicly until now. We also talk about how Katie disciples her children and how it’s messy, not perfect, but that we as moms are in this together!

We chat about when Katie and her husband, Robert followed God’s calling for them to adopt. They have three precious boys through adoption and it’s neat to see that they began their company to fund their first adoption. We chat about how God led Katie and Robert to be on the same page when desiring adoption for their family but it did take some time. There is a part of the conversation when I literally GASP when Katie shared with me an AMAZING story of them naming their first son. Be listening for that..not that you could miss it. ha

Katie also gives encouragement to other mom small business owners and it was so good. She said there is a question we as business owners can ask ourselves. “What can you do now to set yourself up for success as you move forward?” Loved that.
