Today we’re kicking off our Summer Throwback Series — a little every‑other‑week tradition where I’m pulling some of the most loved episodes from the archives, dusting them off and letting them bring encouragement to you again.
And I knew exactly which one needed to go first.
My conversation with Sophie Hudson, based on her book Giddy Up, Eunice, is one of those episodes that feels like a deep breath and a belly laugh all at once.
If you’ve read any of her books, you already know Sophie has this uncanny way of reminding us that women need each other — not in a Pinterest‑perfect, “let’s all match our coffee mugs” kind of way, but in the real, everyday, “I see you, I’m with you, and you don’t have to walk this alone” kind of way.
This conversation is one of my all‑time favorites because it’s honest, it’s hilarious, and it’s full of the kind of wisdom that stays with you. And honestly? It’s the perfect way to start a summer where so many of us are craving connection, encouragement, and a reminder that God weaves women together on purpose.
So, grab your iced tea, settle in, and let’s revisit this gem with Sophie Hudson — and her beautiful reminder that we need the Marys, the Elizabeths, and the Eunices in our lives more than ever.
