Mollie Miller: Living in the Both/And of Life (Pt. 2)

Welcome to People Watching!

Today I'm talking with Mollie Miller, a self-described multi-passionate wife, mother of two, registered nurse, entrepreneur, homesteader, and all-around go-getter.

I first met Mollie in 2020 through a mutual friend. I immediately noticed Mollie's passion for service and her amazing competency at managing projects and personalities that would make most of us run away screaming.

When I found about her background in Intensive Care nursing, as well as providing nursing for youth residential summer camps, I thought, "That makes so much sense now!" Mollie also enjoys spending time with her husband and kids as they explore the outdoors and take care of the family vegetable garden.

In this second part of our conversation, Mollie and I explore the complexities of multi-passionate living, parenting, and the importance of role models. Mollie especially emphasizes the messiness of life and relationships, the journey of discovering one's desires, and the grace found in navigating these experiences together.

We ended up having an open-hearted, beautiful conversation about what it looks like to give others--and ourselves--the gift of self-awareness, and how to live in the "both/and" of life, where different (and contradictory) things can be true at the same time. I so enjoyed learning from Mollie about what it looks like to be a person "on the way" of becoming who we were meant to be.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Let’s be hopeful, creative, and wise—together.

Shalom,
