  • Thank You for Speaking to These Sensitive Topics!

    I’ve had the privilege of meeting Dr. Carol in person and have had her as a guest on my podcast and am SO thankful to have her as a resource! Many people shy away from speaking to such sensitive topics, but Dr. Carol’s expertise and education are such a blessing to so many women. THANK YOU!

  • Finding the hero in your husband

    The Finding the hero in your husband episode was great! Reading the book now. Oh boy Dr. Carol, you were right, there is so much good in this book. I am getting so much revelation that brings tears to my eyes. I truly believe God is working some pain out of my life, my husband’s life and our marriage. Thank you for doing this podcast and so many others.
