Episode 29: Intuition + Epic Bathroom Tales
EPISODE OVERVIEW
Gretchin Gifford is a supervisor at a publishing company, Tarot reader, and spiritual coach. She loves storytelling, everyday miracles, and road trips. She’s a wife and mom who also lives with Crohn's disease.
In this episode, Gretchin candidly discusses her challenges with Crohn’s disease well before she was diagnosed over 5 years ago. Her stories are equal parts “bathroom humor” and insights into what it means to live well with health challenges.
“Whether you believe that it's just your own subconscious or you believe in a divine source… however you perceive that to be, it’s all good. It’s all there to help you.” — GRETCHIN GIFFORD
