| 0:13.0 | 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 |
| 0:18.6 | know your worth as a woman so you can find peace, |
| 0:21.3 | balance, and joy in daily living. This week, I'm sharing with you a special conversation from |
| 0:25.5 | my new space online. Can't wait to share all about it with you. Let's go. |
| 0:36.0 | Hey, girlfriend, how are you? So glad you're able to join me here for the newest episode of the Girlfriend's podcast. I've been experimenting with recording live on Substack for these shows and it's been a ton of fun. Stay tuned for more of that upcoming. But this week I wanted to share with you a live recording that I did. It was just me. |
| 0:54.8 | I wasn't interviewing anybody. But I did this on a new space that I have online that I'm |
| 0:59.5 | calling grace and growth. So this new space has been on my heart for a long time. In doing the |
| 1:06.2 | work that I've been doing for the last couple of decades, writing online, sharing digital content, being active in |
| 1:12.9 | podcasting, video content, television with Catholic TV, radio, all of the above, writing books, |
| 1:21.1 | writing blogs, having substack, all of these things that I do. I end up having a lot of people |
| 1:26.1 | that ask me questions that are interested |
| 1:27.7 | in doing similar kinds of work. Maybe they're looking to launch a book project or trying to get |
| 1:32.5 | published in some way or launching a podcast. All of these different things that we like to do |
| 1:37.7 | online and the different ways that we can share. It's amazing, the things that we can do. And I've |
| 1:42.3 | always loved hearing from other creators with the kinds of questions that they have. |
| 1:45.9 | And I've always done my best to be as supportive as possible when people are asking questions or seeking guidance or clarification about how to do certain things. |
| 1:53.4 | I love to talk about that nitty gritty of the creation process. |
| 1:57.5 | And so I've done it when I can, but it is a time-consuming thing. |
| 2:00.7 | And I thought, what if I created space online that was devoted specifically to supporting other faith-based creators in all kinds of content. And that's exactly what grace and growth is. So those of you who follow me through my girlfriend's content online, you know that I'm on |
| 2:19.3 | substack and I love substack. So this is a new substack. It's called grace and growth. You can get |
| 2:25.0 | information about it by going to Danielle Bean.com and just click that top tab that will take you to |
