Hi! It's Gia-- As the host and creator of "Healed Girl Era Pod," it's time for me to introduce myself to some of you who are just joining us for season two, and re-introduce myself to those who have been riding with me since season 1. Thank you all for being here.In this episode, I take you through how I started this show, what God has been teaching me in this season, and how it could be helpful for anyone going through a pivot or transition in life. The biggest lesson I've been learning is to value seasons of stretching and discomfort just much as I value seasons of light and joy.I hope it helps and let me know in the comments if you'd like me to do this more.
