Celebrate Story!

Listen in as Julie Interviews Meghan Fitzgerald about her new book Butterfly Out.  We live life forward and understand it backward and often find the things we go through to be random and Meghan Fitzgerald has written a beautiful book about her journey to finding her purpose.  In her book, she shares intimately about her journey from an eating disorder to true love and care for her body.  And, once again what is most personal is actually quite universal, as Julie relates to much of her journey and discussion on shame, resentment, control, and dreaming.  Listen in while waiting for your copy of Butterfly Out!Continue the conversation ... you can send us a message or link to our social media pages at The Celebrate Story!

Nobody has it all figured out.  Especially Us (Julie and Steve). But we are putting in the work to strengthen ourselves and our marriage. A lot of that work has involved making our own mental health a priority.
