Liv Harrison co-hosts and reallllyy wanted to talk about the Golden Globes...so we did. I never thought I'd say this but Ricky Gervais may have actually taught us something.

Our guest this week is Chris Mueller. He creates wonderful content at Everyday Catholic but this week, we talk about the struggle his family has been going through with their 5 year old, Ben, fighting cancer. The reason I love Chris is that he is real. He shares both his trust in the Lord through the toughest times of this hardship but also is honest about the tough days. He truly shows the heart of a father.

Finally, Taylor lets Liv takeover a segment to discuss the feminine Genius and her upcoming conference. Ladies, this conference is for you. Register at https://geniuswomensconference.com.
