Jennifer Senn ,

Much needed voice for women who find themselves unexpectedly expecting

This is a fabulous podcast for women who want it all even despite some surprises life throws our way. Ashley’s encouragement to enjoy what you have been given, (whether it’s planned or not!)and her faith based approach to dealing with what can be a stressful time, breathes life into the beginning of a new chapter. A must listen for anyone in this situation.
