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 is a woman so you can find peace, balance, and joy in daily living. This week,

we're doing something a little different. It's not too late. I'm sharing a Lenton pep talk for you.

Let's get started.

Hey girlfriend, how are you? Thank you so much for being here. I'm thrilled that you're joining me here today. I hope your lent is going well. I hope it's off to a wonderful start,

whatever that means for you. I hope you've made the proper commitments and are following through

on them to the best of your ability. But in case you're not,

or in case you're still trying to figure out this Lenton thing or how this Lent 2025 is going to go

for you, I decided I'm going to share here the audio from the recent episode that I had of a live

video over on Substack. So if you go to Daniellebean.com, you can get signed up and you will have access to all

of these things over there.

The live sessions, we've got live videos going every week through Lent on Wednesday nights.

And this is just to give you a little taste of that.

So this past week, my son Ambrose joined me on this live session to give us a Lenton pep talk.

He was sharing about the history of Lent.

He was talking a little bit about scripture and what Jesus tells us about prayer and almsgiving and fasting.

It really was a fun way to spend an evening and connect with each other

before the start of Lent, but we're still near the beginning of Lent. And so I think it's not

too late to share this with you here. And this is part of an ongoing thing that I'm experimenting

with. Things are going to be shifting just a little bit around here because as I'm diving more and more into

Substack and doing some of these live events, I'm finding that there's a real energy there that I

love. I love being able to record those sessions. I love being able to talk to people live,
