Welcome back to the Encouragement for Real Life Podcast! After wrapping up our Summer of Abundance series last week, today we shift into one of Julie's favorite parts of the podcast—our monthly guest episode. And you’re in for a treat!
This month’s guest is someone who made a lasting impact on Julie's life back in high school—her former coach, Debbie Hitzel (known to many as Coach K or Miss K). At a pivotal moment in Julie's teenage years, God used her words to breathe belief into Julie, and that encouragement has stayed with her ever since.
In this heartfelt conversation, Debbie and Julie catch up after many years, and it feels like reuniting with an old friend. We talk about:
- Faith and the seasons of life
- Making the most of each day we’re given
- The power of speaking life into others
- Living fully and joyfully, right where we are
Debbie’s wisdom and encouragement will inspire you to pause and consider: Who am I influencing? Whose life am I speaking life into? How am I impacting the world around me? You’ll be reminded that even the smallest gestures—a kind word, a simple act of love—can leave an eternal impact.
As you listen, may you be encouraged to live your life well and to make each moment count.
