Kindle Your Spark with Rachel Marie Mart...

CONNIE ALBERS
About this episode

Feeling like you've lost the fire that once fueled your life? Join Rachel Marie Martin and me for a life-changing conversation to help you Kindle Your Spark. We will tackle why so many moms lose their spark and, more importantly, how to get it back. If you've ever felt like you are just going through the motions or wondering, "If this is all there is?" this episode is for you. 

In this episode, Rachel shares the personal and heart-moving story of how she got to the place of realizing she was numb to her feelings. She is candid, funny, and unexpectedly deep.

Whether you or someone you know has lost their spark, there is hope. We discuss rediscovering yourself, breaking free from self-imposed limits, fighting for your unique story, and embracing vulnerability. It's time to rekindle that spark within your soul so you can live the life God is calling you to live.
