Maybe You Can Relate: Recent Episodes
Lauren Barksdale
Lets be honest, life is full of ups and downs and at times can be down right spicy. One thing is true though, no matter your season of life, you were never meant to walk through life alone. Too often we believe the lies that no one will understand where we are coming from or that our struggles have to be kept a secret. If you find yourself in that place then there is a safe landing place for you. Maybe You Can Relate is a weekly podcast where LB, the host, invites a guest on to share their story. Stories from other women, just like you. If you're looking for a place to relate to other women, be equipped and encouraged to push back the lies and live out the life you have been called to, then this is the place for you! Welcome, we are glad you are here!
Want to check out episodes you may have missed or want to listen to again?! Make sure to check out the website link below!
Thank you again to all who were a part of this journey! Forever grateful!

Weslee is a wife of a pastor and a mom to three girls. She loves people, music, spontaneity, and laughter! She’s a Texas girl who sometimes hangs her hat and heart in Tennessee. Her hobbies include anything that’s fun and exciting, or chill and inviting. She’s an ENFP (Myers Briggs) and a 7 on the enneagram. She hopes one day to take her three girls to see Dolly Parton sing live.
Sharon is a mother of two boys and one Piper dog. She lives in Seattle and does Seattle things- works at Amazon, drives her Subaru in the mountains, enjoys rainy days, and kayaks as often as she can.

Let’s be honest, life is full of ups and downs and at times can be down right spicy. One thing is true though, no matter your season of life, you were never meant to walk through life alone. Too often we believe the lies that no one will understand where we are coming from or that our struggles have to be kept a secret. If you find yourself in that place then there is a safe landing place for you. Maybe You Can Relate is a weekly podcast where LB, the host, invites a guest on to share their story. Stories from other women, just like you. If you’re looking for a place to relate to other women, be equipped and encouraged to push back the lies and live out the life you have been called to, then this is the place for you! Welcome, we are glad you are here!
