0:00.0	I'm Hey friends, welcome back to another episode of Truth Talks with Tara, where we love to help you know, love and live God's word through your everyday life, through your motherhood, your marriage, your ministry, your schooling,
0:38.2	whatever that looks like. And today, we're kind of diving into what that looks like in not only
0:42.9	what we wear, which is a really fun conversation today, but how we use our gifts and how that
0:47.5	influences the different seasons of our lives as well. And we have a really fun guest on the show.
0:53.3	We have Carly Jean Brannon. I am so excited.
0:56.0	You guys know that I have been wearing CJLA for years and to be able to just hopefully peel back
1:02.1	the curtain and share a little bit more about the founder's heart and also her heart for Jesus.
1:07.3	I'm so excited. So Carly, thank you for being here before we start. Can you share a little bit

1:56.0	And it's fun. I think what we do is so much more than clothes. It is not just helping women get dressed,
2:01.4	but I think also just helping women simplify. I think we don't have to think about what you're
2:06.2	wearing. You're able to think about a whole lot of other things. And so yeah, it's a joy. It's so much
2:11.5	fun. It's so much more than I think I thought it would be when I first started it. And so it's been fun. The Lord's been really kind.
2:17.7	It's been a really sweet, sweet, cool adventure. I love that. Okay. And then what is something
