Episode 234: Return to Simple with Kim VanDolah

Welcome to Protecting Your Nest with Dr. Tony Hampton.

 

Kim VanDolah is a Christian wife and mother of six, an author, and a lifestyle coach passionate about guiding others toward renewal through a Simple Ancestral Lifestyle—centered on Simple Food, Simple Life, and Simple Presence.
