Here it is, y'all. I'm telling you everything I've experienced and learned while going through menopause. It's good, it's bad, it's funny, it's sad. IT IS ALL THE THINGS LADIES.
Part 1 covers some basics of perimenopause and menopause and I tell you my story! Part 2 covers a bit more detail about some of the symptoms, advocating for yourself and what I learned in the process.

029. Mentoring Women in Ministry | Melissa Mashburn
The Back 40 Podcast
07/04/23 • 45 min
My long-time friend, Melissa Mashburn joins me on today's podcast to talk about all things "women in ministry." Personally I wish it wasn't a topic that we still had to talk about, but we do.
Melissa wrote a book, "Ministry Chick: Find Your Community, Own Your Leadership, Take Your Step" that basically helps women who feel called into ministry how to do just what that title says: find your community, own your leadership and take your step.
We talk about how this practically works and what it looks like to help others find their place on the wall!
