Ep 48: Giving Our Kids the Gift of Eye Contact

Are you tired, Mama? Tired of feeling like you have to resign yourself to either being a “hot mess mom” who’s drowning in the chaos of motherhood or a “pinterest perfect mom” who looks like she has it all together but is actually miserable on the inside?

 The world keeps telling us that these are the only options, but that’s a lie. You can get out of victim mode and make changes to bring more joy into your life. And at the same time, you can find freedom in remembering that you can’t control everything and you can stop striving for perfection. 

I’m Makenzie Tricola and I’d love you to join me every week here on the Practically Joyful podcast to talk about realistic ways to bring more joy to your mom life and how to choose to be joyful even when it feels like the chaos is winning. 

We’ll talk about intentional parenting, simplicity, faith and following Jesus, connecting with your kids, taking care of yourself and so much more. 

Welcome in, friend. I'm so glad you're here!
