Welcome to Episode 102 of The Perfectionist’s Guide to Mothering! Today I’m interviewing Chris and Julie Bennett.

Chris Bennett is a pastor, storyteller, writer, and producer originally from Dallas, Texas. Julie Bennett is a writer, producer, speaker, and two-time cancer survivor from Edmond, Oklahoma. Together, Chris and Julie are the founders of Welcome Home Lifestyle, a production company that exists to create and promote content celebrating healthy, thriving families, friendships, and communities.
