#48: Building a Strong Foundation in your Relationships with Dottie

In today's episode, I am in conversation with Dottie. Dottie is a wife, mom, businesswoman, and is very active in her community. Dottie knew early on in her motherhood journey that she wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. She took great pride in taking care of children and her home. Nurturing comes very naturally to Dottie, and she fostered wonderful relationships with all of her children. Her gift of caregiving continued into her journey of being a grandmother. Dottie gives us an insight of how to stay connected with your adult children, stay connected in your community, stay connected in marriage, and stay connected to your own dreams by pursuing your passions. I hope this episode encourages you in whatever season of life you are currently in.
