Hey Friend!

All I can say about today’s episode is, “WOW!”  Renee Swope joins us to talk about how you can be confident in your parenting journey, whether you’re a mom (or dad) who’s just starting out or you have grown kids. We tackle how to handle your child’s anxiety (oh my gosh…this is SO GOOD!), the importance of saying you’re sorry (and why it’s never too late), and how to mine for your child’s gold (even if your “child” is an adult.) 

This episode is longer than usual, but honestly, I could have listened to Renee’s wisdom for another hour. 

It. Is. That. Good. 

And this is one you’ll want to make sure you share. (Sidenote: to share, find the three tiny dots beside the podcast cover picture, click on the dots, and you’ll see where you can share. Don’t forget to rate and review, too!) 

xo,

Donna

 

About Renee 

Renee Swope is a former executive director and radio co-host with Proverbs 31 Ministries and a writer for (In)Courage (a division of Day Spring). But those who know her well would tell you she is a people-loving, adventure-seeking friend and mom who loves Jesus, her family, and being outside. They might also mention she can be a mess and has been known to take her dog’s medicine (accidentally) and call the fire department more than once. 

Renee’s passion is to encourage and equip women, moms, and girls to overcome self-doubt and live in the fullness of their God-given purpose, gifts, and potential, roles, and relationships—and empower them with courage and confidence to make a difference right where they are, with what they already have.
