Love, Girl Talk Guest: Meaghan Kane

Meaghan Kane passionately believes in feeding the whole person: physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. She loves cooking a good meal, sweating through a hard run, reading books of many varieties, and connecting deeply with her family and friends. She is married to her college sweetheart, and they live in Virginia with their six children and one rowdy german shepherd.

What does Meaghan say?

“It’s ok not to be ok.”

“You can’t be given until you’re broken.”

“Sometimes we just have to pray for the truth to feel true.”

“Trust the process.”

“Choose joy.”
