Girlfriends, episode number 355, The Secret Power of Showing Up.

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 as a woman so you can find peace, balance, and joy and family living.

This week, we're talking about the secret power of showing up.

What am I talking about now? Can't wait to share these thoughts with you. Let's get going.

Hey, girlfriend, glad you're here. Thanks so much for showing up for this episode of the Girlfriend's podcast. I'm always thrilled to connect with you here. Feels like it's been a long time

because I did pre-record stuff before the holidays. And we have been through some stuff

since I last sat down to record. So my father-in-law

suffered a stroke at the beginning of December and we had him move in here with us for a little

while and then he was in and out of the hospital. It was like, like these, this past month has been

incredibly, incredibly stressful. And then I got COVID

on top of it. And I had to wait a little while now. I'm kind of a little bit behind in recording

podcasts, which I never like to be. I like to be ahead of the game. But I'm falling a little bit

behind because I just didn't have a voice. I just couldn't come and talk to you all because

I just had no voice. Nobody wanted to hear that.

So I'm feeling better. And my father-in-law has moved into an assisted living facility nearby.

And we're not sure this is exactly the right thing for him. We're still figuring a lot of stuff out

and kind of step by step day by day. And I've learned so much through this experience. And I'm sure

I'm still processing most of it. But we'll be sharing in future episodes, some of the different

life lessons that I've kind of taken away from this. But actually related to this week's topic a little

bit. But before we dive into this week's topic of the secret power of

showing up, first, I just want to thank those of you who gave me feedback on the episode,
