Words and Actions, Intelligence, and Trust and a Bigger Plan?
How much should we consider how our words and actions are received by other people? How can someone be extremely intelligent and successful but still be emotionally immature? Can talking to someone while they are asleep reach their subconscious — and could it help with a difficult relationship or a child going through a difficult stage? If we are the choosers and deciders in our own lives, how does that work alongside trust and believing there is a bigger plan for us? Margot is our go to for life problems. Listeners are encouraged to write in with a problem they are stuck on, and we will “Ask Margot” to provide sound, real and insightful advice.
