Welcome to the last episode of 2023, Flower Mommas! For this episode, I took a brave step and invited my on therapist, Bonnie Skelton. No matter what season you're in, seeking the counsel of a Christian therapist can be invaluable and I think this conversation with Bonnie will help you discover some insights you may not have otherwise considered.

In our discussion, she shares how her perspective has shifted to the present and how she's found purpose, friendship, and happiness in her season of waiting. She also focuses on what it looks like to delight in the Lord and find hope and fulfillment in the waiting by slowing down and focusing more on your relationship with the Lord rather than the promises ahead.

In this episode, she shares how knowing her why sustained her through a journey of fostering to adoption and advocacy. She also talks about how embracing her weakness and remembering God's faithfulness became her ultimate strength.

Hello, Flower Mommas! This season we’ve been focusing on seasons of waiting and for this episode, I’m excited to introduce you to someone who has played a pivotal role in speaking truth into my life, Terri Flannagan. In our conversation, she shares about how she felt God was withholding from her in a season of waiting, the idols she formed in that season, and the loneliness that resulted. She also explains the value of community and finding identity in Christ, and offers encouragement to anyone who feels like they’re unlovable.

My friend Cari Trotter has been a guest every season of the podcast, but given that this season is focused around the idea of waiting, I am extra excited to share this conversation with you!

Cari is well acquainted with seasons of waiting and can tell you from personal experience that choosing to celebrate inside seasons of suffering is a brave thing to do. She can also tell attest that waiting well through those seasons requires being in the Word constantly, so before you press play, I hope you'll grab a notebook and jot down the scriptures mentioned in this episode to encourage you that God is good beyond your pain and no season is ever wasted with Him.

Welcome, Flower Mommas! When I decided that the topic for season 6 would be waiting, I knew my friend Jessica Little would be the perfect person to offer some encouragement. In this episode, she shares her own story of waiting, what it cost her, and what she gained through the struggle. She also talks about how we can change the perspective of our waiting season to a positioning season that we can use to prepare us for the next season God has for us.

Welcome to season 6, Flower Mommas! In episode 1 I'm honored to introduce to you my friend, Kristi Baker. Kristi is part of my community group so I have personally witnessed her struggle through seasons of waiting, infertility, hope, and loss. Yet through it all, she can testify that God has proven Himself faithful. Actually, He's been more than that -  He has done more than she could've ever imagined. I hope that no matter what you're facing Kristi's story will be an encouragement to you that God is deeply involved in our lives and is weaving together a beautiful story, even in the midst of our tragedies.

Hey hey, Flower Mommas! I'm excited to announce Lanatana is sold out! In this episode, I walk through what you can expect from the event by breaking down the three different sessions (throne, bud, and rose) and outlining each speaker and the topic of their chat. At Lantana, you’ll learn how you uniquely celebrate, why we choose to celebrate to remember, why we need rhythms of celebration, and how to put a biblical framework around celebration. My prayer is that each woman that attends will walk away feeling like they have experienced intimacy with Jesus.

Although Lantana is sold out, you can still add your name to the waitlist at theflowermomma.com/lantana.

If you’re in the midst of a hard season, the last thing you want to do is celebrate, yet in Philippians 4 scripture instructs us to celebrate with joy in all seasons. In this episode, I’m introducing you to Sydney Frank who will be leading worship at Lantana and y’all, she has such wisdom and encouragement to offer on this topic. In our chat, Sydney shares how remembering what God has done for us in the past has the power to shift our perspective towards hope, how we can tap into the joy of the Lord regardless of the season, and how we can posture our heart for worship while enduring a hardship.

Lantana is sold out, but you can add your name to the waitlist at theflowermomma.com/lantana.

Flower Mommas, I'm so excited to welcome back my kindred spirit, Margie Frank, to talk about how we can be courageous by cultivating rhythms of celebration amid chaos. In this episode, Margie discusses how remembering pain reminds her of God's faithfulness and has even learned to view it as a gift (even if it's not the one she asked for). She also talks about how you can integrate celebration into your life by acknowledging everyday hard things and offers a reminder to the woman searching for joy in the midst of grief that this season is only temporary and God never wastes our pain.

This week I'm excited to share another conversation with my friend and Director of Women’s Ministries at First Baptist Church in Witchita Falls, TX, Anne Harrison. In this episode, Anne talks about what discipleship has looked like for her in different seasons and the benefits she's discovered by both being a mentor and receiving mentorship. She also shares how we can look to God as an example of how to live in the tension of joy and grief and offers some encouragement about the impact of intentionally seeking community.
