- E106: The Power of Surrendering the Secret
Welcome to Episode 106 of The Perfectionist’s Guide
to Mothering! Today I’m chatting with Lori Schumaker. I do want to let you know that in today’s episode we are talking about a hard topic that isn’t for little ears. So if your kids are around, hit pause and come back to it when you get a chance.Here’s a little bit about Lori: Her life story embodies
the phrase “unveiled hope.” As both a Life and Mental Health Coach, as well as a writer, speaker, teacher, and creator, she gently guides women through thecomplexities of life with grace, hope, and resilience. Her own journey through the pain of abortion, and the subsequent cycle of shame and insecurity thatfollowed, left her feeling shattered and unable to move forward. Yet, anchored by her faith in Christ and armed with practical strategies, Lori has found strength and redemption. The adversities that once sent her spiraling are now her testimony to the power of Jesus.A few of the resources we mention include:
- Restore: Soul Care for Moms Tickets
