Summary
In this final episode of the Strong Women Podcast, Maggie Hudson is back to help me reflect on this season and look ahead. We chat about slowing down to observe the season of Advent, what I've learned through this season's conversations, what it looks like to find and embrace God's calling in changing seasons, and more. I hope you'll take some time to listen to this reflective conversation and bookend to the Strong Women Podcast.

| 0:00.0 | Okay, you guys, welcome back to the Strong Women podcast. I am so glad you're here. Today, I've asked |
| 0:07.0 | Maggie to come on because we are going to talk about all things just wrapping up this season |
| 0:13.9 | and looking forward. So anyway, Maggie's come on and she's going to lead us along in this conversation. |
| 0:19.7 | Maggie, how are you? |
| 0:21.3 | Girl, I'm doing so good. It's so good to see you. I'm excited to be here back with the Strong Women |
| 0:26.4 | Podcast community. It's just the best place to be. I think so too. Well, I am so excited to really |
| 0:33.4 | dive into one as this is the final episode of this season and so really reflecting on what this |
| 0:40.0 | season of the strong woman podcast has meant what this fall has looked like and really like curious |
| 0:45.7 | to know what you're learning what you've learned this fall and what the Lord's teaching you so I guess |
