✨ MIRANDA’S FEATURED IDEA #1 - Twelve Days of Testimonies

🗣️ What to Say In Office: “It’s Day 1 of our Twelve Days of Testimonies. Today we’re sharing Mary’s story. Her progress showed up in small but powerful ways; better sleep, more patience with her kids, and more energy during the day. Healing shows up in layers & we always celebrate that.”
