#46: Growth in Groups with Julie
LISTEN NOW
Today we are talking with Julie, a mother of three adult children who is fueled by her faith. Julie is also a writer, creator, and coach. She shares how circumstances from her childhood were impacting her more than she realized. She expresses the true power that supportive groups can have for growth and healing.
