Podcasts about Tender

Host Meg Wolitzer presents two stories that demonstrate the ways in which characters—like all of us—can play many different roles in one another's lives, and in the world around us. Cherline Bazile's “Tender,” which guest editor Min Jin Lee included in Best American Short Stories 2023, reflects the contradictory nature of friendship.  It's read by Anna Uzele.  And our second story, Grace Paley's “The Contest,” reflects the contradictory nature of courtship, as the bewildered narrator is alternatively flattered and bullied by a girl with way more on the ball than he has.He tells us so himself, in the voice of actor Justin Bartha.

In this episode of Two Pastors and a Mic, we keep walking out what we're calling the 2:6 Life - Anyone who claims to live in Him must live as Jesus did” (1 John 2:6). And today we go straight into a tension a lot of us feel after deconstruction, church hurt, or betrayal:How do you protect your heart…without closing it off completely?Because for many of us, cynicism starts to feel like wisdom. It promises we won't be surprised again, disappointed again, or fooled again. But over time, cynicism doesn't just guard the wound—it can quietly starve the heart: connection, wonder, curiosity, hope.So we talk about the difference between:Discernment vs. distancingWise boundaries vs. emotional retreatSelf-protection vs. staying tenderAnd we get super practical with real-life examples—how cynicism shows up in relationships, leadership, church spaces, and even the way we interpret “good” stories. We also give a few ways to stay tender without being naive—because tenderness isn't fragility… it's availability (with boundaries).If you've ever felt yourself growing colder, pulling back, or assuming the worst just to stay safe… this one's for you.00:00 - Welcome to Two Pastors and a Mic (Episode 264)00:46 - The 2:6 Life Theme: Living Like Jesus (1 John 2:6)01:33 - Quick Recap: Deconstruction + Feeling Stuck02:09 - Today's Topic: Protect Your Heart Without Closing It03:10 - Cynicism vs Tenderness: The Heart Posture Tension04:37 - Why Cynicism Creeps In After Church Hurt05:50 - Discernment or Cynicism?

In this episode, the guys tackle two real-life ministry situations pastors face all the time:1) What do you do with the church member who constantly needs your attention—daily messages, constant crises, and an emotional drain that starts affecting your ministry and your family?2) What do you say to the person preaching their very first sermon who feels unqualified, nervous, and unsure where to start?We talk boundaries, access, expectations, pastoral care vs. professional counseling, and how to prep your first message with clarity and faithfulness.Timestamps:0:00 Intro + frozen Chicago river banter0:50 Today's two questions1:07 Q1 — “That one member” who constantly needs your attention1:55 Diagnose the situation: real need vs. unhealthy access6:14 Standing meetings + boundaries that actually work8:03 Tender vs. tough (and what to expect when you set limits)11:04 Systems that protect you (and why access changes everything)14:38 Pastoral care limits + when to refer out15:31 Watch your own heart: codependency and the “needed” trap19:37 Ad — Practically Pastoring Conference21:22 Ad — Church Merch23:00 Q2 — “I'm preaching for the first time… where do I start?”24:07 Prep basics: start with a text, one big idea, rehearse out loud30:30 Simple sermon frameworks that help you stay clear34:05 Encouragement story + God using imperfect messengers39:05 First-sermon mistakes (and practical tips you'll thank us for)41:31 The main goal: you've “been with Jesus”42:53 Closing + conference reminder43:34 OutroResources mentioned:- Boundaries (Henry Cloud & John Townsend)Practically Pastoring Conference:https://practicallypastoring.com/conferenceLinks from the show:

Send us a textPerhaps the most painful and disturbing episode of Industry yet, this episode asks uncomfortable questions about the way easy access --- whether it be to high finance, drugs, or illicit content online --- reduces human experience to abstraction in a way that causes us all to be disassociated from our own lives. We see shifts in power in the C-suite at Tender that transform our triangles of love and control. Yasmin's position becomes nominally elevated, and she advocates for Hayley's promotion, but is ultimately left wondering who's manipulating whom in their relationship. And while she thought she was at the head of the love triangle with Hayley and Henry, we start to suspect that the real love triangle exists instead between the Mucks and Whitney, with Whitney at the helm. Whitney has also figured out how to maneuver Henry into effectively doing his bidding, helping him successfully navigate the launch of Tender's new app. Also, Pierpoint is back, and we get into the finer points of convertible bond issuance vs. "cocos". Finally, we see the paths of Jim Dycker and Rishi take a dark turn and ultimately collide. An off-the-cuff remark made by Dycker in the opening seconds about philosopher Soren Kierkegaard comes home to roost as these characters confront dark truths about themselves, culminating in a "leap of faith" that leaves us all hanging on the edge of our seats.Shop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

A massive winter storm shakes up the freight market—and Craig Fuller and Matt Leffler break down why this one matters. Tender rejection rates spike above 12%, signaling tightening capacity and a potential inflection point for carriers. The hosts unpack why weather often acts as the catalyst that finally tips a soft market into a crunch, and whether this disruption could mark the beginning of a more sustained recovery. Along the way, they dig into rising M&A activity across trucking and brokerage, from major carrier acquisitions to growing momentum around IPOs and private equity exits. The conversation also veers (as it often does) into sales models, parcel and LTL strategies, demographic shifts, and the surprising ways culture, technology, and human behavior ripple into freight markets. ⁠Follow the Freight Expectations Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Finance is such a nightmare, here's my top tips Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

BONUS cross pod w/ our pals at Tender Subject This week on Tender Subject, we are joined by comedian Jake Flores and writer J †Johnson to talk Frankenstein. We dissect the book and the 2025 film through queer and Marxist theory and get into why the film often let us down. Media referenced: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley Skin Shows: Gothic Horror and the Technology of Monsters by J Halberstam Capitalism: A Horror Story by Jon Greenaway J †Johnson is the co-editor of Cul de Sac of Blood, a horror poetics journal and the author of two books with Punctum Books. Their forthcoming book, Janky Materiality will also be published by Punctum. Kayte is also a co-host on Fangs for the Memories and makes art here.

Everyone's pitching. Everyone's posturing. And everyone's got something to lose. In Industry Season 4, Episode 3 (“Habseligkeiten”), the tension ratchets up on both sides of the Atlantic as Harper and Yasmin maneuver through billion-dollar deals, media manipulation, and high-stakes personal drama. The theme? Sell it or sink.Brandon & Chanel break down this packed episode:Harper and Eric pitch SternTao to high-net-worth investors — and walk away with $90M (but at what cost?)Sweetpea brings the receipts (again!) — only to face Rishi, a box of shady Tender transactions, and major betrayalYasmin and Henry schmooze their way through a decadent Austrian merger mission — with Nazis, nepotism, and op-eds on “benevolent dictatorship”That final painting reveal? Hitler. Yes, really.Hayley confesses she slept with Dycker, the FinDigest journalist… and Yasmin's reaction? ChillingHarper's spinning: fights with Kwabena, fights with Eric, fights with everyone — and “Orinoco Flow” is on blastThe Jeffrey scene is pure procedural gold — and quietly one of the most haunting discoveries in the series so farHenry's pitch to Bevan goes better than expected, but merger turbulence is comingYasmin & Hayley's tension (and seduction?) brews in the background — and might be the next powder kegKenny's back! And still waxing poetic about sell-side servitudeThis might be Industry's most layered, morally grey, and narratively sharp episode yet. There are Nazis in castles, billionaires peddling trauma, women doing deals in the woods, and Harper spinning out in a haze of cigarettes, short positions, and heartbreak. Industry Season 4 is in peak form — and Brandon & Chanel are here for every backstab and Bloomberg terminal refresh.

In this episode Victor breaks down the latest episode of Industry. The Avengers of shorting Tender have finally united and Eric's (spacious) hotel room gets more and more crowded. A breadcrumb trail of shady financial transactions may be leading to a smoking gun against Tender. And, Harper gets triggered by a twin. On the Tender side, the crew has to win over the favor of both a Nazi and the Labour Party. Yasmin slurps oysters (and other things).   Before all of that, some brief comments on the, so far excellent, 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com discussing the third episode of 'The Pitt', 'Hour 3' as well as the premiere of the second season of 'Drops of God' on Apple TV. The episode dives into the unfolding cases in 'The Pitt', such as the resolution of the daughter's bleeding disorder, a surprising brain tumor diagnosis, and the consequences of a racing family's pharmaceutical habits. Special mention is given to ongoing and unresolved cases, building tension and anticipation for upcoming episodes. Additionally, 'Drops of God's' new season introduces promising new narratives for Camille and Issei as they seek to define their own paths. Victor also provides context and commentary upon the recent Academy Award nominations, discuss potential snubs, and provide insights on the nominated films and where to watch them.   With a detailed discussion of character developments, unexpected medical cases, and future storylines, this episode provides a thorough analysis of both shows while setting the stage for eagerly awaited plot progressions. mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com 00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 01:14 Recommendation: 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' 10:20 'Industry' Episode 3 Recap 40:20 The Slurp heard round the world 45:30 The Stakes for the Season

Send us a textWe are BACK with one of the most dense, finance-forward, darkly entertaining episodes of Industry YET. With a title that evokes the theme of "belongings", this episode is all about who belongs in which rooms, who belongs to whom when it comes to control, and what are our characters willing to sacrifice to ultimately get what they want.We see Eric and Harper's short-only hedge fund struggling to get enough investor buy-in to get off the ground. As Jim Dycker prepares to publish his allegations about Tender's murky payments business, the episode leans hard into the real risks of short-selling; being right doesn't matter unless you have timing, proof, and a story the market believes. We unpack the real history of infamous shorts gone awry with the Ackman/Icahn battle over Herbalife in a mini-history lesson you won't want to miss.But just as much as Harper wants money coming through the doors, she struggles to open up to Eric and Kwabena, both of whom seek closeness on a personal AND professional level. Will Harper ever be able to actually let anyone in? Perhaps Sweetpea, with her mutual love of ethically questionable investigations, is her only true soulmate.Meanwhile, Tender seeks to acquire an Austrian bank in order to backdoor a European banking license, and the C-suite is forced to confront a bad actor with fascist sympathies. Yasmin takes control of Henry, pushing him to weaponize his trauma, managing regulators through political and media pressure, and inserting herself into rooms where she clearly doesn't “belong.” In Vienna, what looks like a merger charm offensive veers into something darker, both for the company and Yasmin & Henry's marriage. This is where the title's meaning lands with a punch. In the world of Industry, money, morals, and people themselves have become possessions that can be claimed, traded, and taken away.Shop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 22nd of January, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in Isaiah 42:3:”A bruised reed He will not break, and smoking flax He will not quench;…” We're talking about the gentleness of our beloved Lord Jesus. And that same scripture is confirmed in Matthew 12:20:”A bruised reed He will not break, and smoking flax He will not quench,…” Just the other day, I heard a beautiful saying, ”We are strongest when we are tender.” You know, if you look at Proverbs 15:1, the Lord talks about a gentle answer turns away anger and wrath. Jesus is so gentle.I want to tell you something now, He is the most tender person who has ever walked on the face of this earth. He will not hurt you. We need to be the same.I love watching a bushman when he wants to start a fire. Unlike many of us, he doesn't go with a fire-lighter, put half a ton of wood on the fire and cause an explosion to make the fire so that he can have his braai or his barbecue! No, he comes and he takes a little bit of grass and he takes that stick and he spins that stick on a log and he blows gently on it and what happens? It just bursts into flame. So beautiful to watch.On our farm here, you know by now, we love horses. Snowy is my horse, he's twenty years old now. I want to tell you something now, there's a man by the name of Monty Roberts, he's in his late eighties, and he is the one they call ”The Horse Whisperer.” He started off getting a horse under saddle by being gentle with it. You see, in the old days, his father was one of them, actually; they would tie that poor horse up so that he couldn't walk, he had to hobble. They would beat him till they broke his spirit. That's where the saying goes, ”I'm going to break in a horse.” No, we don't do that on this farm. We gentle a horse, tenderly, and that horse will take the bridle, take the saddle. He'll be spirited, he'll have lots of personality. He won't be broken and crushed. We must do the same with each other.Mom, don't break your daughter down, be tender with her and she will make you so proud. Dad, don't be hard on your son, be gentle with him. This is a tough world that we live in. Be tender with him and he'll be tender with others.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.

Send us a textHenry Muck is a key character in Season 4, and this episode gives us a much richer picture of who he actually is. In an unexpectedly cinematic, poetic installment that departs from our typical finance-driven fare, this episode plays like a haunting (both literal and emotional) centered around his character. We fill in the missing backstory of Henry and Yas' early engagement, early marriage, and his failed attempt to get a political career off the ground. But the mood shifts from public failure to private collapse, as Henry descends into an infantilized state of drug dependence and depression. Yasmin is thrust into the role of caretaker against her will, and we see their relationship framed in a new light, one that ultimately culminates in an epic confrontation. Both Yas and Henry are forced to confront the ghosts of their past: Henry's being the emotional inheritance of his father's suicide, and Yas being the twisted inheritance of her father and his sexual deviance.Will Yas be able to pull Henry out of his darkness by orchestrating a lifeline through a job at Tender? Or will Henry succumb to his genetic inheritance and take his own life? And will something better be born out of this union? Or is their union in fact going to birth something upon the world? Make sure you follow our NEW, DEDICATED YouTube channel where all of our Industry companion content will live!  Head over to https://www.youtube.com/@HBOIndustryPodcast and hit subscribe now!Shop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

What happens when everything that once defined you—your strength, your calling, your ability to serve—falls away?In this episode of the Velvet Ashes Legacy Podcast, Denise and Sarah sit down with Joy, a former medical global worker and physician assistant whose life and ministry were radically reshaped after severe illness brought her fast-paced, highly productive life to a sudden halt. What followed was a long, painful wilderness season marked by loss, waiting, and deep questions about identity, worth, and God's goodness.This conversation is an invitation to anyone who feels stripped, sidelined, or unsure of who they are when they can no longer “do.” It's a reminder that the wilderness is not punishment—but a place where God meets us with comfort, identity, and surprising goodness.Learn more about ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Velvet Ashes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Velvet Ashes on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Featured music is "Doxology of Mercy" by Eine Blume.

JULIE MANET, THE VALUE OF TRANSIENCE, AND THE AVANT-GARDE Colleague Sebastian Smee. Berthe Morisot's legacy was carried on by her daughter, Julie Manet, to whom Berthe wrote a tender deathbed letter expressing that Julie had provided her solely with happiness. Morisot's work exemplifies the concept of "transience value"—the idea, later articulated by Freud, that the fleeting nature of beauty makes it more precious. Her paintings of adolescents and domestic scenes celebrated the present moment precisely because it was always changing. While the next generation of the avant-garde, such as Van Gogh and Munch, reacted against Impressionism's lack of structure, they built directly upon its liberation of color. Although these newer artists sought more permanence, the Impressionist dedication to capturing fugitive effects proved to have lasting power, validating Morisot's vision of finding profound truth in the ephemeral.

In this episode of the We LOVE Arabian Horses® Podcast, we sit down with Shannon Upstone, affectionately known as the “Mare Whisperer,” to talk about one of the most meaningful and delicate aspects of breeding, mare care and foaling.From growing up with Arabian horses to building decades of hands-on experience foaling mares, Shannon shares her philosophy that successful foaling begins with trust, patience, and relationship. She walks us through preparing mares before foaling, recognizing red flags during delivery, supporting maiden mares, and setting foals up for success from their very first moments.This conversation is filled with practical wisdom, real-world experience, and thoughtful insights for breeders at every stage, whether you are preparing for your first foal or refining your program with years of experience behind you. A must-listen for anyone passionate about breeding, broodmares, and the future of the Arabian horse.

In this series opener, Lisa shares a pivotal shift in her work and identity—from offering high-level insights to teaching the deeper foundations behind why her approach creates lasting change. Drawing from her doctoral studies and lived experience, Lisa introduces this new series that explores self-compassion (both tender and fierce), discipline through doing less, intentional weight loss, intuitive living, and spiritual intelligence. Lisa weaves her personal journey from depression and hopelessness to resilience, energy, and gratitude, while reframing diet culture as a disconnection from the mind-body-soul relationship that fuels self-neglect and struggle. This episode lays the foundation for understanding intuitive eating as a byproduct of intuitive living and self-trust as the key to sustainable transformation.Topics Include:Intuitive LivingEmotional Resilience Self-CompassionReparenting[0:32] Lisa announces that the podcast will now be released weekly on Mondays instead of every other week, driven by inspiration and positive listener feedback. She explains that future episodes will expand on topics like discipline, self-compassion, intentional weight loss, and psychic abilities.[05:31] Lisa reflects on a past period of deep depression, contrasting it with her current state of energy and happiness. - She now experiences a genuine gratitude for life that she previously couldn't connect with, offering hope to listeners who may be struggling. [10:11] Lisa talks about how the most harmful impact of diet culture is not just its effect on our relationship with food, but the severing of the connection between mind, body, and soul. Lisa talks about how diet culture teaches people to ignore their body's signals, leading to a habitual disconnection from the self. She discusses that it conditions individuals to see themselves merely as a physical body, ignoring their spiritual dimension. Lisa explains that true healing requires reconnecting the mind and body to allow the soul's intuition to emerge and intuitive eating is a result of intuitive living.[32:39] Lisa theorizes that people who use food to cope are often highly empathic and energetically sensitive. She talks about how food serves as a numbing agent for overwhelming internal and external energy. Lisa shares her personal experience of feeling naked and extremely vulnerable after losing 150 pounds. She describes a visceral feeling of self-trust and the ability to protect oneself energetically, which made her realize she no longer needed excess body weight as a shield.[45:40] Lisa reframes intentional weight loss as a spiritual journey and how the commitment to this process builds self-trust. She identifies self-compassion as the secret sauce for her newfound sense of safety and strength. Lisa discusses the three step self-compassion practice as explained by Kristen Neff: mindfulness, shared humanity, and kindness. She encourages listeners to visit her website for resources as well as the Out of the Cave website for meditations. [1:00:46] Lisa explains that the purpose is not to eliminate pain but to sit with it without making it worse through self-criticism. Lisa offers an optional homework assignment of practicing the three steps on a minor issue that is a 3 or 4 out of 10 on an emotional discomfort scale. [1:25:19] Lisa closes this episode by explaining that if this resonated with anyone, they can contact her to explore working together one-on-one with her. *The views of podcast guests do not necessarily reflect the views and beliefs of Lisa Schlosberg or Out of the Cave, LLC.LISA IS NOW ACCEPTING: One-on-One Clients!⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠

The holidays can feel especially heavy when your child is walking a path that doesn't reflect the way you raised them — spiritually, morally, or emotionally. If you've ever felt that quiet ache, this episode is meant to bring comfort, clarity, and hope. In today's conversation, we explore gentle, grace-filled ways to reconnect with your child during the holiday season without pressure, panic, or preaching. You'll hear why your presence matters more than "getting the words right," how to ask open, life-giving questions, and why small moments of warmth can rebuild trust over time. This is an episode for Christian parents who love deeply, hurt quietly, and want to keep the door open — even when the relationship feels complicated. What We Cover in This Episode: ❤️ Naming the Heartache Why the holidays magnify the distance, the grief, and the unspoken worries many parents carry.

Key Takeaways1. Hospice isn't about giving up — it's about shifting the goal from cure to comfort.Most misconceptions stem from fear or lack of education. Hospice focuses on maximizing quality of life, not accelerating end of life.2. Timing matters. Early conversations lead to better experiences.Families often wait until crisis mode. Subtle changes — fatigue, weight loss, repeated hospitalizations, shifting goals — are early signs to explore hospice.3. There is an entire team behind every patient and family.Chaplains, social workers, nurses, CNAs, and physicians work together to support medical, emotional, spiritual, and logistical needs.4. Quality of life is unique to each patient.It may mean one last trip, freedom from pain, or simply being able to rest without fear. Hospice focuses on what matters most.5. Families gain relief, clarity, and peace knowing they're not alone.Hospice offers 24/7 support, education, and guidance — reducing anxiety and preventing unnecessary hospital visits.6. Eligibility is flexible and individualized.A prognosis of six months or less is a guideline, not an expiration date. A hospice RN and medical director work together to determine appropriateness based on a full clinical picture.7. Hospice allows sacred, human moments to happen.Final conversations, reconciliation, peaceful transitions — hospice creates space for these moments rather than crisis-driven chaos.8. Education is the antidote to fear.Knowledge gives families confidence, reduces guilt, and empowers them to make aligned decisions for their loved ones. www.YourHealth.Org

Fierce Grace Series: Feminine Leadership Archetypes - (#3 of 8)  "Insight drops in when we create space. Possibility reveals itself when we stop pushing." In this episode, we welcome in the Weaver Connector — the feminine leadership archetype who sees the patterns, possibilities, and connections that open pathways for wisdom, insight, and co-creation. She is the part of you who helps you move through the world not by pushing or over-efforting, but through resonance, relational intelligence, and spacious presence. Here's a partial transmission of the Weaver Connector ... notice what resonates...  "I see the connections between people, possibilities, and things. I make connections others don't always see. I move through the world best when I'm connecting with others — and connecting others with each other. Part of my creative power and success comes from my ability to connect with those I'm truly here to connect with." (Full transmission in episode & on website here.) Why this matters now We live in a world that glorifies productivity, speed, metrics, and constant output — and undervalues the relational and creative "fields" and "invisible" work that actually makes meaningful results possible. The Weaver Connector illuminates that nothing meaningful is created alone. Insight, timing, synchronicity, and possibility arise when we create from spacious presence, resonance, and connection — not force, toxic pressure, or over-efforting. We'll explore: • Intuitive superpower of Weaver Connector — pattern-seeing and the "overview channel." • Power Spectrum of Connection Competition that rises us into Conscious Collaboration  • Resonance as a compass for discerning aligned - and mis-aligned - collaborations. • Relational + creative energy fields - how they work and what's needed to bring synchronicity, insight, and opportunity into form. • Tender spots & "love cracks" that make us resist or chase connection and our desires   • Cultivating your web of connection + support for sustainable, easeful creation.

Advent season is about “waiting in anticipation” for Jesus' coming. In the Western world, we wait by throwing Christmas parties, buying presents, and trying to avoid the hustle and bustle. But instead of trying to avoid, what if we tried to embrace? It's one thing to avoid, it's quite another to step into something with intention. In this episode, Josh and Christi share ways of embracing presence this Christmas — both with your spouse and kids, and with God as well. They cover some key highlights from their Advent book for families, The 25 Days of the Christmas Story, and also talk about what's coming for Tender & Fierce in 2026!Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction and 25 Days of Christmas Story4:50 What's coming up for the podcast6:15 Christi updates on Tender & Fierce and what's coming for 202615:08 Embracing presence this Christmas20:50 Ideas for helping your kids experience God's presence this ChristmasShow Notes: Get 25 Days of the Christmas Story! https://amzn.to/49kHiO1Buy 25 Days of the Christmas Story in bulk: https://www.lifeway.com/en/product/25-days-of-the-christmas-story-P005829480Register for Tender & Fierce 2026! https://www.famousathome.com/tenderandfierceSign up for our email list and Famous at Home Starter Bundle: https://www.famousathome.com/newsletter Want a marriage you love?
