Wisdom From the Front Porch [BONUS]
In this very special BONUS episode of the 4:13 Podcast, I’m sitting on the front porch with my beautiful mom, Judith Jolly. She’s a vibrant 84-year-old who raised me and helped shape who I am today—but more than that, she leaves a lasting impact on everyone she meets.

She also shares timeless wisdom on being authentic, taking initiative in forming relationships, loving neighbors and strangers alike, and finding joy in everyday life.
