Here's Hoping: Conversations with Kathrin
Every person has a unique perspective. Join me as I explore the different and unique ways people find inspiration during the journey through their lives: what inspires, what challenges, and what encourages people along their paths. With topics ranging from mundane to sublime, encouragement and inspirational, heartfelt and humorous, each episode will provide a slightly different glimpse of how we move through life. Join me & my metaphorical octopus of curiosity as we begin a new journey of exploration and discovery. Here's hoping!
