Welcome to another whirlwind episode of the Mess It Up Podcast, where technical glitches are just part of the charm. This time, Bowtie Guy and his lovely wife, Bev, tackle the fourth principle from Celebrate Recovery, amidst a series of hilarious tech mishaps. It's a bit like trying to juggle flaming torches while riding a unicycle—chaotic but undeniably entertaining.

The duo also highlight the importance of balance, ensuring that while we acknowledge our mistakes, we also celebrate our victories.

Sharing your journey with yourself, God, and someone you trust can be transformative.
