    108: Love Always, Gratitude w/ Tessa Haldes, A Faithful Friend

    Being grateful is a state of mind that shouldn’t only happen on Thanksgiving. It’s something that should be a constant reminder of how far we’ve come, who has helped us on the journey, and where we’re going. In this episode, our good friend Tessa Haldes joins the conversation on what it means to show gratitude during a transition season. Having graduated from college and worked in a few jobs, Tessa decides that she will pursue graduate school to ultimately reach the goals she has set out for herself. But, what happens in between those decisions? Do you move in with your parents? What about self worth? How do your life’s perspective change in the process? Sacha and Jasmine know all too well the struggle of being thankful while in a transition season, and speaking with Tessa only widened the spectrum of experiences to touch on. Tune in to join the conversation and share your own moments of finding gratitude with us as well!! Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram at @1159ygtpodcast ! Be blessed #TransitionTribe 👊🏾 We love you.
