I joined my dear friend, Carrie Farris of “Chatter Box Radio” podcast on her podcast and I’m sharing it here today because it was THAT good! Listen in on this candid conversation between three good friends, Carla Allen, Carrie Farris, and April Larson, a top industry Aesthetician for a very real and vulnerable discussion.
Here’s a sneak peek of just a few of the topics we’re breaking down:
*Is comparison stealing our joy?
*Am I enough just like I am?
*Do you struggle with aging and feeling relevant?
*Do you compare yourself to your peers and feel pressure to keep up with society's standards?
*When will it ever be enough?
We open up about our own personal choices, mistakes, and the wisdom gained through the years. Join the discussion, start your own vulnerable conversations with your friends, and let's be the change in how women see themselves. The future generations are watching us! Let’s be an example to them that Your Age Is Not Your Cage!

Hello Friends! Welcome to Episode 1 of the Your Age is Not Your Cage Podcast. I felt there was no better way to kick off this podcast than by having my lifelong friend, Tammy Turner, on the show to share our story. After years of suffering from kidney disease, Tammy is in need of a kidney and I am blessed to be her donor!
In this debut episode, we chat about Tammy's battle with kidney disease, the process of becoming a donor, the crucial need for living donors, and how maintaining faith in Jesus has led us through this process. Tune in to hear more and always remember, your age is not your cage!
