Girlfriends, episode number 220. It's okay to not be okay.

Hello and welcome to girlfriends. I'm Danielle Bean. I'm a wife and a mom and I'm on a mission

to help you know your worth as a woman so you can find peace, balance, and joy in

family living. This week, we are talking about continuing to cope in a time of coronavirus

and how it's okay to not be okay. Let's get started.

Hey, girlfriends, how are you? Thanks for being here. Thank you for showing up for this newest

episode of the Girlfriends Podcast. If you are a long-time listener, I want to welcome you back,
