We discuss why it is important to have hard conversations, and how it ultimately helps us understand society as a whole and helps us solve the world’s problems, one relationship at a time.

    Quotes "How can you really love someone if you don’t love the pieces of them that are different from you - if you are only connecting on what’s the same, them your relationship might be pretty shallow. And you are going to miss out on some people who are amazing because you are not looking for that." - Jasmine Bradshaw
    "Our differences connect us." - Jasmine Bradshaw

    "Society has set it up in a way that separates us so we are going against these systems that have been taught to us since we were really really little.

    Lean into the discomfort." -Jasmine Bradshaw

    "I know I am going to be a little bit uncomfortable, but it is worth it - for my values." -Jasmine Bradshaw

    "We are missing out on so much by not embracing other people." Jasmine Bradshaw

    "As an act of rebellion we have chosen to be joyful"

    We don’t have to be going through the same thing to make that deep connection."

    "It is so powerful to be able to hold space for struggles that are different."

    "Reshape our idea of what UNITY means."

    "We all want the same thing! We have differences in how we think that we are going to get there. Recognizing that is the starting point. Be willing to try other ideas."

    "Anything that leads us out of a place of hurt into a place of healing is a good road." - Jasmine Bradshaw

    "Things that come across really mean or defensive are coming from a place of hurt." - Jasmine Bradshaw

Her stories ❤️

I love the way Catrina tells stories and brings practical ways to simplify my life as a mother. Thank you for sharing your gift!

Gay Lynne ,

Terrific!

You might say I’m prejudiced, but I am seriously impressed with the thought, prayer, and skill, not to mention hard work, that Catrina puts into her podcasts and presentations. Her invitation to grow closer to the Saviour during Holy Week and the tools and suggestions she offers for the journey are powerful. I’m so grateful she is raising some of my grandchildren!
