Summary

I’m with the hilarious Melanie Shankle today talking about writing, blogging, fashion, and finding joy in the small things In this episode we discuss: Her Summer go-to outfit The real story of the early days of blogging The power of the small things in our lives Favorite quotes- Mother Teresa said, “If you want to change the world, go home and love your family.” I think that’s where you look and go that’s my legacy. I feel like Church of the Small Things was my journey of God bringing me back around to know you are exactly where you are, doing exactly what I want you to do and if I’m calling you to something bigger you’re gonna know that, but for today I want you to do what’s right in front of you. It's trusting that none of us have a small life because God is using every bit of it. That’s why He put us here and that’s why He put us where we are. Bonus: After the interview join me as I answer your questions about life, faith, and business. In this episode, I answer these questions- 1. What is your go-to coping mechanism when you feel overwhelmed? (44:21) 2. Do your non-Christian family members question what you are doing with your life and how do you answer? (48:22) 3. How did you balance being a wife and mom starting a new business? (51:04) Links to great things we discussed- Melanie Shankle at http://thebigmamablog.com/ Church of the Small Things book Fearless Faith her new devotional book Ben Rector “Old Friend” The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (TV show) Younger (TV series) How to Walk Away by Katherine Center Tell me more: Stories about the 12 hardest things I'm learning to say by Kelly Corrigan The caftan I can’t wear Mission Impossible: Fallout Steffany Gretzinger “Pieces” xo, Alli http://www.alliworthington.com/podcast/melanieshankle
