Can you believe we are winding down 2022?!

If you are like me, you want quiet and rest during the typically busy holiday season. Quiet and rest don’t just happen. It takes intentionality to find a restful rhythm to living. 

Today I am talking with Jamie Grace. She is a two-time Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, and actress. Diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome, OCD, ADHD, and anxiety at a young age, Jamie actively advocates for joy, wellness, and mental health through the lens of music, film, and faith.

Listen in to learn about: 

• Jamie’s mental health and how it impacts her pursuit of purpose. 
• Practical, tangible ways to find quiet in your life. 
• Ways can we work towards purpose and fulfillment 
• How “failure” has impacted Jamie’s journey.
