We know the past few weeks have been an absolute whirlwind—literally. In this episode, Carol, Tricia, and Kelly are sitting down to talk about the devastation from Hurricane Helene and how it has reshaped all our lives. Like you, the Girl Talk team has faced fear, loss, and uncertainty, but they’ve also found glimmers of hope along the way.

This isn’t just about picking up the pieces; it’s about finding strength in the chaos, leaning on our faith, and realizing we don’t have to go through this alone. Carol, Tricia and Kelly share their personal experiences from those terrifying moments during the storm and what it’s been like trying to get back to some sense of normalcy. Most importantly, they’ll dive into how  trust in Jesus has been the rock they’ve needed to stay grounded.

If you’ve felt overwhelmed, scared, or lost during this time, we get it. We’re right there with you. But together, we can take the next steps forward—one day at a time, holding tight to the One who never lets us go. Join us for this conversation as we walk through this tough season with hope, faith, and sisterhood.

Let’s rebuild together.

3 Practical Takeaways for Dealing with Hurricane Helene:

1. Lean on Your Community: Connect with neighbors, churches, and local support groups. Sharing the burden of the aftermath helps lighten the load and provides emotional and practical support.
2. Focus on Immediate Needs: Secure clean water, non-perishable food, and medical supplies. Prioritize safety and shelter as rebuilding efforts begin.
3. Practice Emotional Self-Care: Allow yourself time to process your feelings. Journaling, praying, and talking to others about your experience can help you work through the trauma.

3 Ways to Help People Affected by Hurricane Helene:

1. Donate to Relief Organizations: Support groups like Samaritan’s Purse, Compassion International, and local disaster relief agencies working on the ground to rebuild homes and provide essential supplies.
2. Volunteer Locally: If safe, offer your time to help with cleanup efforts, distribute food, or assist with recovery initiatives.
3. Pray for Those Impacted: Keep affected families and communities in your prayers, asking God to give them peace, strength, and hope during this difficult time.
