Struggle Well School

In this episode we talk about how to use your interests as a bridge for discussing spiritual topics with your kids.  We also talk about how sometimes in 2015 it can still be impossible to obtain the internet even when living in a very populated location.  

The reason I needed to share Amanda with you NOW is because of her wonderful Christmas ebook that takes you through how to share the Christmas story with your kids in a way they will love.  I am not a big fan of all the crafts and all the mess that creates but even I found it to be very fun and enjoyable so we go through her book every year.

Crystal is a coffee-loving, word girl who is big on helping women find community.  She is passionate about encouraging and equipping women to enjoy their current season and chase what brings them joy.  Most recently, she's been on a fitness journey that is changing her mothering.  Can't wait for you to hear our chat!

In this episode we discuss the painful effects of hurtful relationships, the importance of engaging in community despite past hurts, and how Crystal stopped being a 'sideline mom.'

Please allow me to introduce you to my friend Joanna.  There are SO many reasons I needed you to meet this girl.  First, her "little skill of sewing" as she calls it, is not little.  It is actually making a huge impact in her town and around the world. Second, she has overcome some poor choices in her own life (we all make them!) and has witnessed first hand God's amazing promise to work all things out for good. You wouldn't believe the story if I told you so you might as well hear it from her.  

In our chat we cover how single parenting is hard and how waiting for your adoptive child is hard too!  We talk about her new job with Project Free 2 Fly and her work with No. 41.

Today's guest is my friend Sarah of Sariko Designs.  She is a creative girl with lots of initiative.  She started an Etsy shop to raise funds in order to adopt two kids from the foster care system.  She kinds makes the rest of us look like slackers.  

I like to think I have played a part in her success (I didn't) because I have quite the collection of her signs around my house.  And I give them as gifts.  I basically have a sign buying problem.  This is precisely why Sarah likes me and agreed to be interviewed.

In this episode we talk about preparing kids for an expanding family, how to start an Etsy shop, maternal instincts and adopted kids and Bravelove.com.

I just had to share my sweet friend, Lara Williams with you all. She is a wife, a mom, an author and a speaker.  What I love about her is that she does all of these things with grace and humility.  She will be the first to tell you that she messes up all the time which allows the rest of us to exhale and know we're in good company.

This girl right here: she's a joy! I can see why she was a cheerleader in high school because every time I finish talking to her I'm pretty sure I can do anything.  {Emily, Emily, she's our man, if she can't do it , no one can.} In this episode we talk about everything from encouraging your neighbors and discipleship to the importance of the therapeutic Slurpee and the Fall issue of Southern Living.  

Warning: You will probably feel some feelings here. This podcast covers a topic we as moms would rather just not think about- the loss of a child.  Wait though!  Before you decide to move on to watching I Love Lucy re-runs, I assure you this story is worth a listen!  My friend Bree walked through the valley but she has a story of hope you NEED to hear.
