South Carolina National Guard
Dec. 1, 2023 | 26:58
On this episode of the Palmetto Guardian we talk with Chaplain (Maj.) John Denny, South Carolina Army National Guard chaplain and Chaplain (Capt.) Kirby Whitley, South Carolina Air National Guard chaplain. We dive into ways to say “No,” the importance of setting boundaries and a budget and how embracing limitations can empower us. We also touch on how to navigate the holidays with the loss of someone special to you. So join us and prepare yourself to prioritize self-care and discover the strength in setting boundaries for a more resilient and fulfilling holiday experience! The Palmetto Guardian is hosted by Staff Sgt. Chelsea Weaver and Spc. Ana-Grace Catoe with the South Carolina National Guard Public Affairs Office.
