Questions for Deeper Personal Reflection/Discussion:

• The episode addresses key pain points for mothers: feeling overwhelmed, losing oneself, and experiencing "mom guilt." Which of these resonates most with you, and what biblical encouragement can you find to address it?
• Megan advocates for the idea of "progress over perfection." How does this apply to your life, and what small, consistent steps can you take towards your goals?
• How do you currently start your day, and what changes might you make to incorporate spiritual alignment as suggested in the episode?

Quotable Quotes:

"For those of us who have been mothering especially for quite some time, it's so possible that you feel lost, that you've like kind of lost, lost yourself."

"When you let your kids jump in and help out because, you know, they can start doing some things on their own, the one caveat is you might have to relax on your expectations of what that looks like."

"You can honor your family and build something meaningful without sacrificing one for the other."
