Kari’s podcast is a gold mine of wisdom

So grateful for Kari’s humble spirit and and her willingness to share godly wisdom on the topic of parenting young people. Although she focuses her topics primarily around girls, I’ve found that her experiences and wisdom translates to parenting young men as well. I’m so grateful for Kari’s words of wisdom and encouragement.
