This is our Village: a podcast for Christian women

Today we have the privilege of chatting to Sarah De Haan, who was one of our beautiful pregnant mama guests on last week’s episode.

Sarah shares with us about what life has been like for her in the first 6 months of motherhood!

What a beautiful bookend type reflection we have hearing from her as an expecting mother and now a mama to a beautiful 6 month old ❤️

This is the second episode of our Mini-Series, in which we get to chat to two beautiful, heavily pregnant mamas - Virginia Hunt and Sarah De Haan.

Join us as we hear from these two amazing mamas and get a little glimpse at this exciting stage of motherhood!

Matrescence - Have you heard of it?

If you’re a mother - you may never have heard the phrase but you have lived it.

“Matrescence is the physical, emotional, hormonal and social transition to becoming a mother”

Join us today as we kick off our Mini Series hearing from our amazing guest, Jodie Garth, on what Matrescence is, how understanding of this transition has transformed her life and what she wishes everyone knew about this journey of becoming a mother.

We think this is such an important conversation- and we’d love you to share this with any to-be-mothers, already-mothers, people-supporting-mothers, or general-population-that-benefits-from-deeper-understanding! ☺️

The top resource Jodie mentions in this episode is the work of AMY TAYLOR-KABBAZ her book- MAMA RISING & her podcast - HAPPY MAMA MOVEMENT

44 - Today is part 2 of our conversation with Jodie Saddington.

If you have not had a chance to listen to part one, make sure to hop on over and listen to ep 43, in which Jodie shares about her daughter Dakota’s story.

Today Hayley and I get to have a chat with Jodie, and hear more about her motherhood journey and what life has looked like for Dakota and the family over the years.

Jodie shares what they have found helpful in terms of support, what challenges they’ve faced and how God has encouraged her through the journey.

We pray that you will be encouraged by Jodie’s authenticity and heart ❤️

Today we have the privilege of hearing from Jodie Sadington.

Jodie shares with us about the life of her daughter, Dakota, who was born with Down syndrome.

Jodie talks about Dakota’s story, from her diagnosis and early days of figuring out how to best care for her, to what life looks like for them today.

This episode is a little different to our usual format, instead of being a conversation, we get the opportunity to just hear from Jodie’s heart.

Make sure to look out for next week’s episode, where we’ll have a chance to chat with Jodie, and hear more about her journey through motherhood, and what God has been doing in her life.

👏🏻This week we have a surprise In Between episode!

As is always the way with projects like this, sometimes technical issues arise, so instead of our full length episode, we’re giving you another In Between chat 😁

Join us as Amy and Hayley share about God’s timing in the unexpected, and reflect on 3 fun listener requested questions- something that’s made them laugh, something that’s made them cry and something that made a difference!

Thank you for being with us in the journey! :)
