My goodness what a joy-I just finished the last episode. I Love Love Love the sweetest wonderful honest deep feeling real conversations. For the times I've laughed out loud as I listened. For the real raw tender feelings you both uncover - and the TEARS - the loving tears of gratitude, and so much feeling - lots of feelings you are helping me cultivate - thank you -thank you - thank you- so much - for all the beauty and love - keep on being ordinary -the world needs you both!!!
I’m so so sad this wonderful life giving podcast is coming to an end. Thank you for everything~the deep heartfelt conversations, the laughs, the tears, and being a safe place to hang out. Thank you for inviting us into those tender places and giving us behind the scenes in gardening, authoring, mothering, friending(lol), and just about all the things life encompasses. Hugs to you both ❤️❤️
I just had to reach out to say how blown away I am by the chapter Lisa Jo shared on the podcast this week. I listened yesterday on my way home from work and again today on my way to work. I was in tears both times. I will definitely get the audio book too, and was so excited to see my hard copy waiting for me at home yesterday. I just want to thank Lisa Jo for telling her story, one that resonates so deeply with me, and for being so vulnerable and doing what I can only imagine was grueling work ... more
I’m so glad you’re back!!! Every week I relate so much to what you share. I’m always teary as I feel seen in what I’m experiencing. It’s different and yet so very similar. What a beautiful experience to share in such a unique way with two wonderful women I’ve never met, yet are such a beautiful part of my life. I feel such a lift, and God speaks to me through you and what you share. I love that this podcast comes out on Wednesday when I need a lift and a boost. Bless you both!!
Out of the Ordinary is my absolute favorite podcast! Christie and Lisa Jo share deeply, yet also somehow these conversations go to a higher plane, bringing insight and understanding to my own story. You won’t want to miss a single one!
