Hey friends, welcome to Girls Night. I'm Stephanie May Wilson 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

through our fair share of breakups probably more than our fair share I think and we've learned so

much along the way. What to do, what not to do, what helps, what doesn't, things that comforted us,

things that helped us get over it and best of all we're going to be talking about God's redemption

and all of this, how he's able to transform these broken pieces of our lives into something

positively beautiful. He's done that in our lives and we know he wants to do that in yours too.

One thing I wanted to say before we jump in though is that I know that lots of y'all have been
