You Can't Pour from an Empty Cup

Living Large in A Small House Podcast

Today on the Podcast I had a chat with my friend and previous co-worker Leslie Dempsey. Leslie is someone who gives so much of herself to others but she also knows that it’s important to take care of yourself too.

I’ve always told her that when I grow up “I want to be Leslie Dempsey”!

WHAT YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE:

How we know each other
Leslie’s love for travel and some of the places she’s been
Her three girls are her world
Giving back to her community

Living Large in A Small House Podcast

I’m Lynn the creator of the blog “Living Large in A Small House”. I’m passionate about decorating, cooking, entertaining, organizing, and gardening. I live in a 1,300 sq., ft., home with my husband who I call “Handy” on my blog. I’m Mom to three grown kids, Kenny who lives in LA, Annie who lives with her husband Tommy in Dallas, and Emma who lives in Chicago. We also have a 15-year-old Shih Tzu named Molly and 5 beautiful hens who provide us with organic, fresh eggs daily.

I’m pretty transparent about my life and what goes on at this small house!

Potential Signs of Domestic Violence
When or Should you intervene if you think a friend or family member is being abused?
