Episode #117 St. Louis Mom w/ Rebekah Coste

Today, I have the joy of talking with Rebekah Coste, founder of St. Louis Mom. St. Louis Mom is an organization that's on mission to support and connect mommas locally. They have guides for recommended playgrounds/coffee shops/date nights, they host in person events, park-hops, and write must read articles that are relatable and relevant. This is an absolute must resources for all mommas in all stages of motherhood.

Rebekah and I start our conversation discussing the importance of understanding your faith as a foundation of identity, the distinction between roles, and how they impact your identity. It's so good!! As we continue our conversation, she shares about her journey into motherhood, the inspiration behind St. Louis Mom, her top 5 mom tips, and we wrap up our conversation with heart felt encouragement reminding mothers they are not alone, and it is ok to ask for help.   

Please listen, like, leave a comment, and share this episode with all of your mom friends. It is time we start joining together and share about the importance of taking care of yourself not instead of your family, but for your family. The time for change is now and change can't occur without awareness.
