A Life of  Conviction Leads to

Healthy Discipline Episode 76 of See One Beautiful Soul 

In a time when it's just so easy to say "I just do the things I want to do when I want to do them," its refreshing to meet another outspoken influencer who lives her life with such conviction about the beliefs she is passionate about. Karlie believes in a life of discipline.  She is not afraid to use her freedom of speech to share her love of her faith with others.  She is kind and generous as a listener and a speaker and believes in living in harmony with those who do not necessarily believe in the same faith as she does.  She will inspire you to think about what your convictions are and how well you choose to get along with those who may not practice  in the same way as you do.  

Karlie Kincaid—also known as Kindred in Kairos—is a wife, mom of two, and a Catholic voice speaking on faith, womanhood, and the dignity of life in a culture that moves fast and thinks shallow.
