Show Notes
Episode 4 features special guest Yvette Henry! She's a self-adventurer, teacher, content creator, wife, mom and SO MUCH MORE! You're in for a real treat - press play to absorb some of the genius she shared, including:
-- why she shifted from playing it safe to putting it all out there;
-- her distinction between trust vs control issues and;
-- how she applies "choose your hard" to her own life.
Her bio: Yvette Henry is the host of the Yvette, Unplugged! Podcast, which has become a space where many of her listeners have found pieces of themselves in her words and adventures as a wife and mother of four working through the idiosyncrasies of her own identity from these seemingly all-consuming roles. She is also the co-host of the How Married Are You? Podcast, where she and her husband, Glen Henry, explore relationships through the lens of a Christian marriage. As co-owner of their family business, Beleaf in Fatherhood, Yvette is the creative director and manager of the companies’ merchandise line. In sharing her life, she hopes to empower others to embrace the process of becoming and to love themselves as she works through it herself.
Her #TNWIDTakeaway: "We're paving our own path and doing what we want and not necessarily conforming to what the world has said that has to happen."
Yvette's husband, Glen Henry, was featured last season, episode 13 - tune in here for a recap(https://anchor.fm/tnwid/episodes/Episode-13---Glen-Beleaf-Henry-edvkf0)!
