Girlfriends, episode number 15, The Truth About Prayer.

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 in family living.

So what are we waiting for? Let's get started.

Hey, girlfriends, how are you? I'm glad you're here for another episode. Glad you're spending some time with me again this week. I am wiped out, but grateful. I've been super, super busy.
