Finding Whitespace During Christmas: Podcast with Kathi Lipp

By Bonnie Gray • December 16, 2014 • Leave a Comment

ListenNowI first met Kathi Lipp four years ago for a cup of coffee, when I was first began thinking about writing a book proposal for my new book Finding Spiritual Whitespace. Kathi is a popular speaker and author of The Cure For the Perfect Life: 12 Ways to Start Trying Harder and Live Braver (co-authored with Cheri Gregory). Kathi lives here in Silicon Valley too, so when I asked a friend to introduce us, we met at a cafe and became kindreds.

Today, Kathi invited me to be a guest on her podcast show So Here’s The Thing with Kathi Lipp for a cup of virtual coffee and some soul-to-soul talk about finding spiritual whitespace during Christmas.  We had an amazing conversation about the realities of the holidays and how we can create space for God when we’re feeling overwhelmed.
