A listener told me that after being rejected by her church and family, she felt like she was standing on an alien ship watching her home planet being blown up. Then she asked the questions you might be wondering too:

From one heart-weary woman to another, here’s the scoop on the most important story of your life..and the secret to changing it.
Because rejection hasn’t ended the good of your story. Not by a long shot.
