Hello Friends,

This week I’m sharing a mini episode called “The Chat” that I have been doing weekly in addition to the regular pod. Author

Maggie Smith

who wrote a book I love called ‘You Could Make This Place Beautiful.’ is my guest this week.

Maggie talked about how she’s learned to trust her intuition, even when it tells her things she doesn’t want to hear, which is also my experience. We discussed how her divorce was the most emotionally painful experience she’s faced, and how she’s navigating through it to find some peace.I was impressed that no matter how much pain she is in, Maggie is able to find joy in everyday moments, like a beautiful sunrise or a funny moment with her kids. I am personally working on that myself too.

If you haven’t read Maggie’s book, "You Could Make This Place Beautiful." It’s a profound and moving read that I highly recommend.

Listen to the episode or watch the video to hear more about Maggie’s journey, her insights on life, and the wisdom she has to offer.

Keep having meaningful conversations….

Love,

Amanda X
