The LIVing Room with Liv Harrison
Liv is the host of The LIVing Room podcast produced at her home studio in Houston, Texas. The LIVing Room is where authentic Catholic faith meets real conversations, culture, and creativity. Liv sits down with guests you know (and some you should) to talk about the stuff that actually matters: fear, identity, calling, and what happens after you think you’ve got it all figured out. It’s honest. It’s funny. And it might just change the way you see yourself.
