You're listening to episode 102 on the God Center Mom podcast with me, Heather McFadian,

and I'm back with another that's me episode today.

We're talking about craving authentic friendships.

And I have on young mom Libby who is a mom to two kids under the age of two with a husband

who travels a lot and she just moves to a new community and longing for some true friendships.

She shares some insecurities after being brave and reaching out and just looking some first

of advice.

So I called on my friend and mentor Leslie Johnson.

She has four grown boys so I'm always asking her for advice.

She is right over at CerseiGao.com.

She's been on this podcast before actually the very first episode.

And she has always looked up at her for her hospitality and just her ability to connect

well with others.

She's really good at checking in with me and she has a best friend who's been her friends

since fourth grade.

So Leslie's on with some just encouragement, some advice, some practical tips on connecting

with others, some great like girls night out advice and just had a do life with people

and then just had to reach out to neighbors and things like that.

I just really appreciate Leslie's perspective and I was inspired.

I'm amazed how God's revealing the ministry we have just right in our neighborhood, even

things that happen yesterday with our neighbors.

So I hope you all enjoy this episode.
