#108: No One Ever Prepares You For This with Leanna

The Commons with Karla

“No one ever prepares you for this.”

Today’s guest, Leanna Bogetti, shares with us today how no one can really prepare you for some of the toughest obstacles life can throw at you. Leanna is a part of what is known as the “sandwich” generation. This means that she is currently raising her own young twin boys while simultaneously caring for her beloved mother who has been diagnosed with cancer. Every day looks different for her, but she is loving life and leaning into being intentional with her kiddos regardless of the really painful days. Leanna is a beautiful image of strength. I hope this episode encourages you to continue to push through - even on the really hard days.
