EP 116: Healing Our Relationship with Men and God with Jen Porteous
In this episode, I’m joined by Jen Porteous as she shares her multifaceted journey of suffering from burnout in her corporate career, having a failed marriage, and balancing working and being a mother. She fell victim to the narratives of not needing a man in her life, which sent negative messages to her boys, who would grow up to be men.
