Today we are talking about how to get rid of "Mom Guilt" – Part 2! In Part 1, we discussed why it is a problem. We discussed the impact of social media and the way we consume other's lives. We also talked about the importance of deep relationships to better and how we define what it really means to be a good mom. Today, I discuss the next step. After we create our list of what things we think defines being a good mom, I share the importance of understanding how that fits into our lives.

On Mother's Day, I was so honored to preach at my local church, Trinity Communion Church in Rochester, New York, where my family and I have been members for over 7 years. Today I am sharing that sermon. I was nervous, excited, honored and flattered…but mostly terrified! I worked hard, I researched, I prayed, and I did it! I realized I want to share this because I said "yes," even though I felt so far outside my comfort zone. Hopefully it encourages you to do the same thing.

Marriage is especially difficult right now, especially when tackling challenges like the ones we are facing right now, in quarantine.

They always say, "When opposites attract, they're right!" We will discuss their challenges over the past decade and a half and how they worked together to overcome them. They believe every single marriage has hope and the ability to thrive.
