The Talking Story Podcast

Purpose in Motherhood


Listen Later

There are countless people all over the world doing incredible,  life-giving, life-changing things— individuals, non-profits, and  for-profits rescuing, feeding, innovating, healing, fighting for  justice; the list goes on. For 30+ episodes, The Talking Story Podcast  has been privileged to seek out and bring attention to those ordinary  people doing extraordinary things, as you the listener well know. But  none of those businesses, those amazing feats, or those people would  have ever been possible without one very essential group of people:  moms!


In this special Mother’s Day episode, you’ll hear from 4  women coming from all stages of motherhood as they each share what helps  keep them afloat in the hectic, messy, day-to-dayness of the mom life.  You could collectively call these women’s nuggets of wisdom
The 5 Musts of Motherhood, and they are:

Waking up before the kids, + "good coffee and a whole lot of Jesus”
Creating a bedtime ritual so as to end the day— even the roughest day— on a good note
Striving to enjoy every moment you have with your kids; also taking time away for yourself
Finding good friends and a strong support system
Keeping on pursuing your passions

Tune  in to hear these ladies expand on these musts and also discuss favorite  family activities (need some ideas?), hilarious stories (think diaper  blowouts and sassy teens), and bring you some words of encouragement. If  you’re not a mom, don’t tune out! There is wisdom to be found here for  you as well. These ladies will also be giving input on a very relevant  topic in this day and age, screen time. (Leesa Waliszewski, wife of Bob  and mom of Kelsey, says it well: “We want to raise kids who know how to  regulate their own emotions so they don’t have to rely on a screen to do  that for them.”)

Moms, you are underrated. You may feel  ordinary, you may question if the work you are doing at home with your  kids is really mattering, but you truly are extraordinary, and your work  is some of the most — if not the most — important work in the world.  Keep it up.
