The Next Chapter

It's been an amazing chapter! We have laughed, cried, grown, embraced and pushed ourselves through uncomfortable times. Now it's time to take a little break. Enjoy the stillness and get ready for The Next Chapter! This episode, I asked my cousin to come on and talk about the marriage, separation and where we are now. Full disclosure there was literally a tornado warning happening while we were recording so forgive us for truly being in the moment this episode but I promise it'll be worth the listen! Thank you for all your support and listening ears, I'll see you beautiful people in Season 3 of The Next Chapter Podcast!

This episode I invited Super Attendant Kimsure on my podcast. Kim and I have been friends for over a decade and have grown so much since we were juvenile, delinquents, slanging T's out of the car. As mothers, business owners and amazing women, listen to us catch up on what life looks like for us now!

Bear with me, this episode got a little emotional, but it was necessary to give my grandma the flowers she's always deserved. Today marks three years she's been gone, and I miss her more than the day I said "see you later" to her but I also appreciate her more than I ever have. This one's for you G'ma. Love always, Your Porkchop Betty Kolar Oct. 3. 1943 - Jul. 16. 2021

Every so often I want us to do a check in with each other. Where we are in our healing journey and getting to our next chapter.

Sometimes we wait to have this "ah-ha" moment when in reality we need to do trust ourselves and trust God that even in this imperfect moment it will work out to be the perfect outcome. Talk with your kids, do your research and trust yourself to get to the next chapter!
