When I wrote down goals for this podcast before I had recorded a single episode, she was at the top of my list for hopes on who to interview. It\u2019s no secret that Joanna Gaines is my spirit animal, after watching her for years, she\u2019s become a woman of inspiration in my life.\n You might know her as the queen of shiplap, the wife of Chip, the mom of four littles, and the mastermind behind Magnolia. Beyond just being an HGTV goddess, I\u2019ve watched and learned so much from Joanna Gaines and since my biggest goal when starting this whole show was to have her come on the podcast, I figured I\u2019d record an episode about what she\u2019s taught me over the years just from watching her navigate the growth their business has seen.\n We are covering all the Joanna Gaines basics: being so authentically yourself, navigating living a \u201cpublic\u201d life with grace, chasing your faith, becoming a branding guru, and .... (any guesses on that 5th one?!)\n Beyond the shiplap and perfectly styled kitchens, I\u2019ve been watching a woman who is changing lives through her ability to create connections while still maintaining what\u2019s most important to her and through listening to the calls she is getting as her empire continues to grow and expand. I think we should all tag Joanna on Instagram and get her attention, because I\u2019d love to hear her own take on her journey and what it\u2019s looked like as they\u2019ve navigated each season in the public eye!\n What do you say, Goal Diggers? Cheers to THE lady, Joanna Gaines!
