The Breadcrumb Effect Podcast

In this special Mother’s Day episode, Brittany and Dani discuss motherhood. In fact, the entire episode is dedicated to moms with special guest, Patti, Dani's mom! This will be a two-part series. Part 1 is about "all things our moms taught us," and Part 2 will focus more on Dani's mom's story, her trauma, the abuse she suffered, and her side of the story from Dani's personal episode. There's laughter, tears, and “healing” conversations. What their mothers taught them included appreciating nature and awe, having a firm handshake, trying unusual foods from ranch life, and prioritizing mental health awareness and medication. They talk about faith and “breadcrumbs,” with Dani describing moving from a Catholic upbringing to years of questioning, while her mom shares how she became a Christian and the role of prayer alongside action. The conversation includes family parallels, Mother’s Day memories, Nina’s influence and passing anniversary, a traced-hand-in-Bible idea, and a gifted Christmas village as a meaningful “breadcrumb.”}   00:00 Mother’s Day Cold Open 01:29 Meet Mom on the Pod 02:48 Love of Nature 05:25 Family Synchronicities 07:21 Awe and Outdoors Reset 09:04 Motherhood Emotions 09:24 Teen Years and Miscommunication 12:07 Kids Tell Their Story 14:08 Faith and Breadcrumbs 19:27 K-LOVE and Concert Joy 21:44 Handshake and First Impressions 22:28 Gizzards and Survival Food 24:36 Mental Health Matters 25:38 Meds And Stigma 26:26 Hidden Anxiety And Anger 27:59 Memory Mixup And Dissociation 29:05 Tampons To Menstrual Cups 32:08 Lessons From Mom 33:44 Trad Roles And Work Ethic 35:25 Trades Skills And Tomboys 38:15 Brittany On Mom Love 40:53 Faith Versus Mental Health 42:39 Nina Memories And Breadcrumbs 46:27 Christmas Village Gift 49:11 Mother’s Day Wrap And Reset

The hosts interview Taylor, whom they connected with on TikTok through shared interest in “breadcrumbs,” synchronicities, and spirituality. Taylor explains synchronicity as more than coincidence (referencing Carl Jung) and describes her own spiritual awakening after years of dismissing intuition due to her upbringing, intensified by her father’s cancer and death. She discusses “clairs,” especially clairaudience, and how surrendering control, journaling, and IFS-style parts work help manage triggers and mental health. Taylor shares plans to become a grief educator, peer support counselor, and death doula, motivated by regrets and lessons from her father’s hospice experience and the need to support dying people and families. They discuss how to support grievers, asking for specific signs, and Taylor recounts signs from her dad (blue jays, “Bluebird” buses, lights) and a shared-death vision. Taylor also describes leaving a corporate pharma UI/UX career after burnout, guided by eclipse-inspired reflection and repeated “333” sightings.   00:00 Near Death Teaser 01:20 TikTok Breadcrumb Connection 02:28 What Synchronicity Means 03:39 Spiritual Awakening Origins 09:45 Letting Go of Control 13:18 Meditation and Journaling Tools 16:15 IFS Parts Work Prompts 20:40 Becoming a Death Doula 29:12 Talking About Death Openly 34:35 How to Support a Griever 37:14 Asking for Signs 38:19 Blue Jays and Bluebird Bus 41:36 Pearl Signs for the Family 43:42 Funny Frog Messages 44:23 Dream Visits and Mediums 45:42 Feel Good Workbook 47:18 Corporate Burnout Shift 49:32 Eclipse Awakening Signs 53:55 Quantum Connection Talk 57:37 Transcendentalism Sync 01:01:59 Signs Not Proof 01:03:43 Woo Woo Language 01:11:05 Quantum Leap Doula 01:15:48 Dad Light Vision 01:21:49 Wrap Ask Breadcrumbs

Bri & Dani interview New York Times Bestselling author Julia London, admiring a neighbor’s bedazzled signed copy of her book and discussing why she joined the podcast: supporting women’s creativity and sharing lessons from nearly 29 years in publishing. London recounts losing her White House job when Bill Clinton was elected, returning to Texas, hating an administrative role, then being inspired by a 25-cent Iris Johansen historical romance to write; after initial rejection and sisters’ taunts, she sent a manuscript, got an agent, and published her first book, The Devil’s Love. They discuss changes in publishing (from mailed manuscripts to social media pressure), her surprise New York Times bestseller moment, imposter syndrome, and redefining success as longevity and daily happiness. They address AI scraping authors’ books and London’s limited use of AI for brainstorming only. London previews The Rules for Aging and Larceny (June 30) about women in their seventies robbing a casino, discusses older protagonists, writing humor from real-life texts, shares early fan fiction as a “breadcrumb,” plugs a Feel Good Workbook sponsor segment, and ends with Bravo/Housewives and Traitors chat plus a hot take urging pay for TSA agents.   00:00 Warm Welcome Gifts 03:20 Why She Said Yes 04:32 Women Supporting Women 06:19 From White House To Writing 08:00 Sisters Spark Success 11:12 AI And Authorship 14:41 Publishing Pressure Pace 17:29 New Book Heist 22:10 Austin Roots And UT 23:09 First Times Bestseller 26:04 Social Media Overload 29:06 Real Life Humor 30:55 Feel Good Workbook Ad 32:30 Early Fan Fiction 34:44 Ideas And Breadcrumbs 36:32 Breaking Family Boxes 39:32 Layered Characters Talk 40:20 Hope Quote Tears 41:28 Dog Ears Debate 43:44 Defining Success Now 47:29 Self Doubt Cycle 50:03 Creative Grandma Era 50:59 Life Breadcrumb Stories 53:17 Carb Load Bravo Chat 56:19 Traitors Season Breakdown 01:03:06 Flour Hour TSA Rant 01:04:30 Find Your Breadcrumbs 01:07:07 Post Show Chaos

Faith, Soggy Breadcrumbs & Found Family   This episode contains discussion about pregnancy loss, abuse, suicidal ideation, self-harm, transracial adoption, and fostering high-risk children. Please listen with care   In a podcast-style conversation, Lisa shares her family life as a mother of five and “Mimi” to three grandchildren, her early EMT training, and her influences from a beloved grandmother who valued people deeply. She discusses experiencing two miscarriages, the grief and unhelpful comments that can follow, and emphasizes offering only support to those grieving. Lisa and her husband have served in ministry their whole marriage, started their own church about 14 years ago, and describe discerning God’s voice through knowing Scripture, surrendering control, and taking the next step rather than waiting for “someday.” She recounts her foster and adoption journey: a failed private adoption, obtaining foster licensing, meeting siblings at an adoption fair, losing two children due to a court decision, fostering many more placements including high-needs youth, and a recent placement ending after a suicide attempt and house fire. She describes gratitude practices, her father’s legacy of loving people, and practical ways communities can support foster families. 00:00 Adoption Fair Heartbreak 00:59 Meet Mimi and the Kids 01:39 Navy Son and First Responder Roots 03:39 Wanting Grandma’s Life 06:11 Miscarriage Grief and What Not to Say 12:23 Raising Kids in Church 16:41 Hearing God and Discernment 20:07 Order, Chaos, and Real Parenting 23:06 Teen Crisis and Cutting 27:16 Foster Journey Begins 33:06 Sponsor Break Feel Good Workbook 34:42 From Adoption Plan to Foster License 37:37 Inside the Adoption Fair 41:08 Adoption Plan Derails 42:59 Race And Court Loss 43:58 More Kids More Stories 45:31 Teaching A Kid Joy 47:38 Respite Turns Longterm 50:13 House Fire Crisis 53:58 Redefining Success 57:20 Breadcrumbs And Surrender 01:03:25 Dad’s Legacy Of Love 01:07:36 Gratitude In Grief 01:12:54 How To Help Foster Families 01:17:35 Follow Your Breadcrumbs   Thank you to our podcast sponsor Dr. Kel who offers an amazing course, Are You in Alignment with Your Dreams?

What if the most devastating losses of your life turned out to be the very thing that saved it?   This week, Brittany & Dani sit down with Jess from the Twin Mom Life Podcast. She experienced two back-to-back miscarriages in 2018, only to discover they were the catalyst for a diagnosis that explained not just her losses, but a mini-stroke she'd had at 21 that doctors hadn't fully connected until years later. Jess opens up about being diagnosed with Factor V Leiden, a blood-clotting disorder, navigating pregnancy on injectable blood thinners, and coming out the other side with three kids: daughter Kaia, born in February 2020, and a surprise set of identical twin boys.   But the medical journey is only half the story. Jess shares raw, honest reflections on severe postpartum depression during COVID isolation with Kaia, the whiplash of an unexpected twin pregnancy, and how a string of career pivots, from nonprofit public health to real estate appraising to home organizing that all eventually led her to launch the Twin Mom Life Podcast and build a local twin playdate community she desperately needed and couldn't find.   This episode is for anyone who has felt alone in a season of loss, longed for community that truly gets it, or followed a winding path that finally started to make sense.   📌 Chapters: 00:00 Miscarriages Saved Me 00:47 How We Connected 02:38 Two Losses Back To Back 05:39 Diagnosis Factor V Leiden 06:39 Stroke At 21 09:26 Treatment And Hope 11:07 Kaia And COVID Postpartum 12:00 Twins Surprise 13:31 Moving To Texas 14:15 Postpartum During Pandemic 19:51 Workbook Sponsor Break 21:41 Community And Careers Tease 23:27 Kaia Name Breadcrumb 25:39 Laugh Styles Banter 26:18 Career Pivots to Appraising 27:46 Organizing to Podcast Launch 32:13 Building Twin Mom Community 33:22 Craving Connection and Authenticity 35:25 Retreats and Filling Your Cup 38:09 Gooey Dough Burnt Toast Risen Bread 39:14 Girls Trip and Kid Milestones 42:48 Find or Follow Breadcrumbs 44:16 Wrap Up and Bonus Banter   💊 This episode is sponsored by Dr. Kel!

She rescued six giant bookstore display books headed for the dumpster. One of them ended up changing everything.   That book was It Ends With Us. It became the unexpected breadcrumb that connected our two hosts, became a prop for book reels, a meetup mascot, and ultimately a catalyst for this entire podcast. This week, we finally sit down with the woman behind that moment: Aurora.   But Aurora isn't just the reason this podcast exists. She's also a reader, a Bravo devotee, a proud eldest-daughter-energy human, and the volunteer leader behind Austin's Volunteer Healthcare Clinic, a long-running charitable clinic that's been quietly changing lives in our city.   In this episode we get into: ✦ The full story of the giant book, the dumpster, and how a podcast was born ✦ Colleen Hoover as a gateway author (and whether the Goodreads ratings hold up) ✦ Recent reads: The Correspondent, Wild Dark Shore + audiobook recs ✦ Growing up in NYC, a Hallmark-worthy love story in New Orleans, and landing in Texas on a hunch ✦ What it really means to trust your gut — in your career, your community, and your life ✦ The Volunteer Healthcare Clinic: what it is, why it matters, and how you can help   This one is cozy, funny, and quietly profound. Exactly what a Wednesday needs.   🩺 SUPPORT THE VOLUNTEER HEALTHCARE CLINIC Donate: https://www.volclinic.org/donate.html   💊 This episode is sponsored by Dr. Kel — take her course Are You in Alignment with Your Dreams? or grab The Feel Good Workbook.

Listening to her breadcrumbs and picking them up along the way, has led to every venture she has started.   Finding Your Breadcrumbs with Maiah of @forloveandfrosting and The Secret Date Society   In this podcast hosts Bri & Dani interview Maiah, a twin mom and creator behind @forloveandfrosting, whose content evolved from baking recipes and cakes into mostly relatable mom-life reels with some health and wellness. She shares her family background of twins (she’s a twin, has twin brothers, and has 10-year-old twin girls plus a 3-year-old son) and discusses challenges unique to twin parenting, especially avoiding comparisons and labels. Maiah describes her kids’ podcast Best Bedtime Short Stories, her fiction writing (including Ways to Say Goodbye), and her small-scale gluten-free/vegan bakery work with local coffee shops, rooted in her own food allergies. She also explains launching her chocolate-dipped stuffed dates brand, Secret Date Society, where to buy them, and the importance of creative outlets, community, confidence, and “finding” vs. “following” breadcrumbs. 00:00 Meet For Love Frosting 01:39 From Baking to Mom Reels 02:34 Twin Mom Life 04:55 Twin Identity Matters 07:06 Twin Mom Friendship Story 09:58 Bedtime Stories Podcast 14:30 Writing Books and Flow 18:22 Coffee Shop Nostalgia 24:07 Gluten Free Baking Origins 28:39 Secret Date Society 30:24 Feel Good Workbook Ad 32:07 Parallels and Antiques 32:47 Old Phones Nostalgia 33:45 Kids and Landlines 34:49 Where to Buy Secret Date 35:28 Marketing and Creative Confidence 39:01 Twin Separation Story 41:42 Navy SEAL Dad Lessons 44:19 Crime and Second Chances 46:25 Wild Break In Stories 50:58 Breadcrumbs Debate Gratitude 54:57 Bloopers and Real Estate Creeps 58:16 Open House Scare Wrap Up   Thank you to our podcast sponsor Dr. Kel who offers an amazing course, Are You in Alignment with Your Dreams?

Some stories feel like time capsules and this one cracks open the past in the most magical way ✨   This week, Bri & Dani are bringing you a special SXSW episode featuring Jessica Hall of X-Cetra, a story that beautifully bridges past and present through childhood creativity, raw talent, and the kind of artistic spark that reminds you why art matters.   What started as a preteen band recording songs in a home studio in the summer of 2000 became something much bigger. After burying their CDs out of embarrassment, the music resurfaced years later online, eventually catching fire during COVID and finding a global audience. Now, 25 years later, the album has been re-released by Numero Group on vinyl and streaming and even inspired the documentary Summer 2000, premiering at SXSW.   In this episode, we talk about: The origins and evolution of X-Cetra Rediscovering creativity as adults The meaning of “X-Cetrify” (embracing imperfection) Manifestation, nutrition, and building a meaningful life How travel, nostalgia, and storytelling shape empathy and connection   The documentary is funny, nostalgic, moving, and unexpectedly magical. 🎞️ If you’re at SXSW, don’t miss Summer 2000 at the Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar. 🎧 Listen to the podcast episode on Spotify & Apple Podcasts, or watch on YouTube 📅 The Breadcrumb Effect post new episodes every Wednesday   Episode Chapters: 00:00 Welcome to SXSW 01:44 Y2K Breadcrumbs Unboxed 02:56 How the Band Formed 04:33 Recording Summer 2000 06:23 The Album Gets Rediscovered 08:44 Numero Group & Vinyl Release 12:55 Why It Resonates Now 17:04 Shadow Artist & Creativity 18:49 X-Cetra & “X-Cetrify” 22:28 Documentary & SXSW Premiere 23:32 Millennial Creativity Stories 24:22 Ad Break 25:57 Famous Yet Joke 26:07 Name Mixup Story 27:00 Manifestation Talk 27:24 Job Wish Comes True 28:40 Letters & Nick 30:33 Values & Nutrition 31:41 Travel Builds Empathy 33:17 Documentary as Therapy 34:52 Create for Joy 36:00 Spoon Salad Hot Take 37:00 Gratitude & Creativity 38:45 Find Your Breadcrumbs 40:09 Bag of Rocks Banter 41:18 Reality TV Formulas 42:41 Why We Love Patterns 44:31 Closing Chaos   About Jessica Hall: Jessica Hall’s story is one of adventure, creativity, and deep connection. From rafting the Grand Canyon to living abroad in Spain, her path reflects a curiosity about the world and a willingness to follow experiences that transform you. With a background in health, nutrition, and creative project management, she blends structure with intentional living. Music has remained a constant thread, especially through her relationship with her partner, Nick, and her journey has come full circle with the rediscovery of her middle school band, X-Cetra. At its core, this conversation is about returning to your creative instincts, reconnecting with your inner child, and building a life that feels meaningful, imperfect, and true.   Sponsor: Thanks to our sponsor, Dr. Kel!

April Henley on Discovery Writing, a Merlin Cozy Fantasy Coloring Novel, and Following Breadcrumbs Dani & Bri interview Texas fantasy author April Henley about meeting them at the Texas Booksta Network event in Waco and her path to publishing. Henley describes wanting to be an author since 16, earning Baylor’s professional writing degree, and finishing her debut cozy medieval fantasy Treasures in a Bottle (published December 2023) using “discovery writing” influenced by Stephen King’s IT and On Writing. The novel follows Merlin 100 years after King Arthur as he tries to prevent magical creatures from fading as humans forget them; it uniquely includes 50 illustrations designed as a “novel coloring book” with illustrator Brian Brinlee. She discusses self-publishing responsibilities, events and travel including Northern Ireland and Tintagel, ren faires and cosplay, and support from Texas Renaissance Festival contacts who helped her publish and led to a Tavern Masters game tie-in. Henley also shares her father’s death in 2021, plans for a memoir about losing her horse Tommy, and plugs a Feel Good Workbook sponsor. 00:00 Guilt and Loss 01:07 Full Circle Podcast Intro 02:06 Why Waco and Baylor 03:05 Becoming a Writer 05:38 Finishing the First Novel 07:26 Discovery Writing Method 13:03 Saying Goodbye to Characters 15:38 AI and the Human Soul 17:03 Merlin Fantasy Plot 18:35 Coloring Novel Origins 21:47 Book Tours and Festivals 25:26 Self Publishing Hustle 28:54 Parents and Creativity 32:34 Dad’s Passing and Dedication 35:32 Feel Good Workbook Ad 37:06 Ren Fest and Cosplay 38:25 Cosplay Favorites 39:25 Ren Fair Creativity 40:56 Hobgoblins Nightlight 42:53 Finding Story Sparks 44:04 Ren Fair Connections 46:25 Merlin Card Game 48:47 Memoir of Tommy 51:14 Pet Loss Stories 56:52 Flour Hour Hot Takes 59:54 Where to Find April 01:02:54 Bloopers and Outtakes Thank you to our podcast sponsor Dr. Kel who offers an amazing course, Are You in Alignment with Your Dreams?

From Operations to Career & Home Journey: Faith, Control, and Finding the Breadcrumbs   In this podcast episode, Bri & Dani interview Jackie of Career & Home Journey about her professional background and the personal “breadcrumbs” that shaped her path. Jackie shares that she previously lived in Colorado and rose from copying files to overseeing operations for a state agency, managing a 22-person team and handling cross-functional areas like technology, finance, budgets, and marketing, emphasizing advancement by doing work others avoid and valuing the operations “big picture.” She discusses how her view of success was influenced by her mother, a single mom who worked two jobs without a college degree and became the finance director of their small town, and how Jackie’s childhood expectation of being a stay-at-home mom shifted as she became ambitious, returned to work after having a baby, and later built a business to blend career and home priorities. Jackie describes key faith-related influences from women in her life, including a cousin who modeled creating a welcoming home and an aunt who regularly took her to church, while noting she lacked guidance in reading the Bible. She opens up about the death of her stepdad when she was 19, her resulting anger toward God, and how she later recommitted to finding a home church while pregnant with her son to raise her children in the church. She also shares a difficult season of infertility and multiple miscarriages, and how the commonly referenced story of Sarah became more relatable when she later encountered the fuller, messier context. A major turning point came from a toxic workplace environment after new executive leadership arrived; Jackie describes waking at night to a noise and thinking someone had been sent to kill her, recognizing the toll of stress and control. After being told to “focus on what you can control,” she later found the devotional book "Control Girl" by Shannon Popkin—"Lessons on surrendering your burden of control from seven women in the Bible"—which prompted self-reflection and shifts in how she showed up in her marriage, parenting, and home systems (moving from Instagram-worthy setups to functional organization and clearer expectations for family members). Jackie explains how this evolved into her Instagram series "Girls Night Out with Women of the Bible," where she modernizes women’s stories (inspired by scripture) to make them relatable, including examples like Lot’s wife and themed drinks (e.g., Eve as an apple martini). She and the hosts discuss how women’s stories are often “cleaned up” in church contexts, how professional women can feel excluded by traditional ministry structures, and why it matters to talk about messiness, emotions, and the impact of anger, anxiety, and fear. She details her current offerings through Career & Home Journey, including her first publication, a 45-day devotional journal titled "My Body, His Temple" with scripture references and journal prompts, and a planned women-of-the-Bible themed event product (described as a dinner-mystery-style kit) targeted for early April, potentially after Easter. Jackie also shares she is available for speaking engagements and gives her handle (@careerandhomejourney) and website (careerandhomejourney.com). The episode includes how Jackie and the hosts met after Jackie moved from Colorado to Texas in July, connecting through their children’s afterschool program and neighborhood walks, and how their daily conversations align with the show’s breadcrumb theme. Jackie says her current definition of success is “contentment,” referencing Rachel Cruze’s "The Contentment Journal" and noting a shift away from constant striving. The conversation ends with light segments on Texas HEB pricing/curbside differences and a playful debate over NSYNC vs. Backstreet Boys, and the hosts close by encouraging listeners to “find your breadcrumbs.” 00:00 Loss at 19 & the Breadcrumbs That Shape Us (Cold Open) 01:23 Meet Jackie: From Colorado Ops Leader to a New Chapter 03:59 Redefining Success: Single-Mom Roots & Ambition 07:08 Faith Foundations: Women Who Led Her to Church 10:10 Grief, Anger, and Finding a Home Church Again 16:15 Infertility, Miscarriages & the Sarah Story Revisited 19:43 Girls Night Out: Making Women of the Bible Relatable 22:48 Women in Church Culture: Work, Belonging, and Messy Stories 26:09 Toxic Workplace Wake-Up Call & the ‘Control Girl’ Breadcrumb 32:08 Sponsor Break: The Feel Good Workbook (Hot/Cold Guidance System) 33:42 From Control to Systems: Organizing Home Life for Real People 36:02 Proverbs 31 Pressure vs. Real Women in Scripture 38:25 Breadcrumbs in the Small Stuff: Journals, Notes, and Letting Go 42:33 Seeing God in Real Time & How a Move Sparked New Breadcrumbs 44:35 How We Met: The Texas Move, School Routines, and After-School Logistics 45:21 Afterschool Chaos & the ‘God Moment’ That Brought Them Together 45:56 First Impressions at Pickup: ‘She Always Looks So Professional’ 46:25 From School Meeting to Neighborhood Walks: Instant Best Friends 48:16 Creative Journeys Need Community: Hype Girls, Timelines & Breadcrumbs 50:31 Women Supporting Women + A Stoic Take on ‘Being Better’ 52:07 Everyone Has a Story: Shared Themes of Love, Loss & Growth 53:30 Faith for Beginners: Finding the ‘Messy Women’ in the Bible 55:25 Her Offerings: Devotional Journal, Mystery Dinner Bible Nights & Speaking 59:45 Redefining Success: Contentment as the New North Star 01:01:52 Flour Hour Hot Takes: HEB Prices, Curbside vs In-Store 01:05:41 The ‘Fight’: NSYNC vs Backstreet Boys (and Britney vs Christina) 01:08:13 Concert Nostalgia & Wrapping Up with Jackie’s Plugs 01:10:51 Final Sign-Off Debate: ‘Follow’ vs ‘Find’ Your Breadcrumbs   Thank you to our podcast sponsor Dr. Kel who offers an amazing course, Are You in Alignment with Your Dreams?

Turning Grief Into Community: Angela’s Breadcrumbs, Bookstagram, and The Renewal Reader   Dani and Brittany interview Angela, a Pennsylvania-based corporate professional, mom of two sons, and creator of @bookthoughtswithangela. Angela shares how major losses became “breadcrumbs” that redirected her life: two miscarriages led her to start vision board workshops in 2018 focused on law of attraction, and her brother Anthony’s death in 2021 led her to create a Bookstagram community and later a free seasonal digital magazine, The Renewal Reader, aimed at readers healing through challenges and seeking an “inner comeback.” She discusses reading as a key part of her healing (“reading is greater than or equal to therapy”), her love of literary fiction and grief themes, and book recommendations including Remarkably Bright Creatures, Blue Sisters, The Wedding People, and You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty. Angela explains junk journaling (scrapbooking’s “younger sister”) as a low-maintenance creative outlet started in 2020, preserving tangible memories for her sons. She also talks about how grief shifted her work priorities: after 18 years at the same company, she moved to a less demanding role closer to home to be more present and maintain creative time, using strategy, visualization, and manifesting. The hosts and Angela discuss supporting grieving friends through simple, pressure-free check-in texts, reflect on finding breadcrumbs in hindsight, and highlight Angela’s community-building collaborations, including distributing printed copies of her magazine at a local bookshop. Angela shares a personal “year of fun” mindset for turning 40 and describes auditioning for Wheel of Fortune in Philadelphia, entering the contestant pool for up to 18 months. The episode ends with the show’s segments “Carbloading” (Angela recommends the thriller Look Closer by David Ellis and mentions busy kid sports schedules) and “Breaking Bread” (gratitude for the conversation, readers, and creative outlets).   Go sign up for Angela's newsletter and sign up to receive The Renewal Reader!   New episodes out every Wednesday!    Watch all videos on YouTube!    Follow us on Instagram or TikTok!    Where's Waldough?
