  <description><![CDATA[BEGINNING AGAIN, AUGUST 31, 2021! As recorded by an almost-30 Catholic pediatric critical care nurse, who makes plenty of unwise (re: terrible) life decisions, all whilst continuing to attempt to follow Christ wherever He may lead. Hi. I'm Kelsey, and for the purpose of giving you some company on YOUR walk with Christ, I'm here to tell you about the challenges I've overcome (plus the ones I haven't), the down-and-dirty tips and practical wisdom I've gained over the last decade, and the laughs I've had as I desperately try to figure out what it means to follow Christ, and how the heck to do it. I've made tons of mistakes along the way, struggled with various eating disorders and depression, used every dating app known to man, been engaged twice, and spent 18 months volunteering in Jerusalem, Israel taking care of disabled children. We are going to talk about all that, plus some stuff about relationships, evangelizing, Prozac and lots more. SO - if any of that interests you, join me, spend a few minutes, take what you like and throw out the rest. Questions, comments, or just horrified and concerned? Reach me at kwasilewski13@gmail.com]]></description>
