Thrive Episode 6: Interview with Amanda Davison
The entire month of February, we'll be talking all about relationships! Do you want to improve your personal relationships? Do you feel that you struggle with behavioral patterns when it comes to relationships? Do you feel that you just keep making the same mistakes over and over in your interpersonal relationships?
Hey, we've all been there!
In today's episode, I sit down with Amanda Davison, founder of A Wife Like Me to discuss marriage and relationships.

Former psychology professor, Amanda is now relentlessly sharing how her education in counseling and God’s word changed her life and marriage.
