”And they lived happily ever after.” This is how fairy tales end. The chances of them describing real life often seem about the same as encountering a real live fairy godmother! And the truth is, no fairy godmother is going to come, wave her wand, and make your dreams come true. But, the good news is that you don’t need her to! On this podcast, I will share the lessons & practical helps that I’ve learned in my life as a wife and (working & homeschooling!) mom of eight, that have helped me to cultivate both a joyful home and inner world of peace, confidence & hope. Join me in choosing happily ever after. Check out my website here: https://www.nicolevangelder.com
