In this episode, Abby—known online as M is for Mama—returns to the show to talk about her newest book, You Bet Your Stretch Marks, the third installment in her motherhood series. With honesty, humor, and a heart deeply rooted in scripture, Abby encourages moms to see that the hard seasons are not wasted and that motherhood, even in the trenches, is profoundly worth it.

From battling doubt and comparison to learning how to surrender control to God, Abby shares her own stories of raising ten children—including twins twice—and offers wisdom that applies to every stage of parenting. She reminds us that motherhood is a calling, not a punishment, and that Jesus meets us in both the victories and the struggles. Whether you’re a new mom, a grandmother, or simply someone feeling stretched thin, this conversation will remind you that your sacrifice has eternal significance.
