Hey friends, welcome to Girls Night. I'm Stephanie Maywellson and I am so happy that you're

here. Each week I have a girlfriend over and we talk through one of the biggest questions

we have about our lives as women. We're talking about friendships and faith and relationships

and self-confidence. About our calling in life and how to live every bit of our lives

to the absolute full. Life is so much better and easier and absolutely more fun when we

navigate it together as girlfriends and I cannot wait to get started. Our guest for

today's episode is my dear friend Jessica Razzdal. Jessica's an author, a motivational

speaker, and a transformational coach to female business owners. She helps women unearth

their story and learn how to share it, turning their messes into powerful life-changing messages.

I have the honor of meeting Jessica early this summer and she quickly became a dear friend.

Guys, the truth is that Jessica has a really hard story. She's been through more in her

life than I hope any of us ever have to go through and she's going to share that story

with us today. But the main thing about her story is that Jessica has partnered with God

in such a beautiful way to take this terrible heartbreaking thing and use it for unbelievable

good. Guys, we've all been through hard things in our lives. Every single one of us has been.

But the thing about our God is that he brings life from death and beauty from ashes and

goodness from even the hardest, most broken stories in our lives. He's done that in Jessica's

life and in my life and I know he can do that in your life too. I cannot wait to talk

about this more. But before we dive in, there's something I wanted to make sure to share

with you. So speaking of our message is becoming our message. Friend, if you haven't picked

up a free copy of my book, The Lipstick Hospital yet, I would love to send one your way.

It's a travel memoir. It's the story of the messiest, most broken season of my life
