Women Soaring: Wherever You're Sent

Herbalism at the Homeschool Table with Camila of Eden's Table

What if your kids learned not just the parts of a flower, but what that flower is for?

This week the Women Soaring team, all homeschool moms ourselves, sits down with Camila, founder of The Eden Institute and creator of Eden's Table, a Christ-centered herbalism curriculum for K–5 families.

Camila is a former credentialed classroom teacher with a Master's in Education. She built Eden's Table around one plant a week, with Bible, science, language arts, math, art, history, and more woven into each lesson, plus kitchen labs, memory songs, garden activities, and a read-aloud family story.

We brought our own questions as homeschool moms: how it works for multiple ages at one table, how much prep it takes, and how she keeps the focus on the Creator rather than the creation.

Pull up a chair! The whole Women Soaring crew is gathered around the table for our very first Common Thread episode.
This month's theme is When Friendship Hurts (we know, we started easy 😅). Tay, Mary, Clarissa, and Alora get real about:
A time friendship hurt us, and what we learned
The difference between forgiving someone and reconnecting with her
How unresolved conflict follows you home
Coaching our kids through friend drama
Handling hurt when you'll still see each other every week in base housing, a unit, or a department
Guarding against comparing ranks, roles, and our spouses' jobs
🧵 What is Common Thread?
A simple way for women to gather around a table and actually talk. Each month brings a friendship theme and question cards. Grab a few women, in person or over video, and let the conversation flow. You can host a table in your home, on base, or online, and we'll help connect you with women looking for one.
👉 Get the cards, host a table, or find one near you: women-soaring.com/common-thread
Wherever you're sent, you don't have to do friendship alone. Grab your coffee and come sit with us.

We had big plans to bring you a full team recap from MomCon... and then our audio decided to take a vacation. So Alora and I grabbed the mics to share the highlights, the laughs, and the moments we're still smiling about.

In this episode, we talk about the fun of being at MomCon and share clips of real moms answering one question: "What surprised you most about motherhood?" Their answers are honest, hilarious, and oh-so-relatable.

Grab your coffee (reheated for the third time, obviously) and come hang out with us. And don't worry, the full team recap is still coming!

Wherever you're sent, you're not alone.

🎙️ Mini-Series: Starting Over, Wherever You Are

What happens when you have to start over?

In this Women Soaring mini-series, Alora and Tayler share their real-life experiences navigating moves, transitions, and the sometimes-uncomfortable process of finding your people again.

Alora made a big, full-on move to another state—the kind where you're packing up your home, leaving familiar places behind, and building a new life somewhere completely different. Tayler experienced a short-term move, living out of suitcases rather than putting down permanent roots. But just because the move was temporary didn't mean the emotions were.

Two very different moves.
Two very different experiences.

And yet, so many of the same questions: How do you put yourself out there again?

How do you make friends when you're the new person?

What happens when connecting with people feels harder than you expected?

How do you find your confidence when everything around you feels unfamiliar?

And how do you start again when part of you just wants to go back to what was comfortable?

Throughout this series, Alora and Tayler will share honestly about how they're feeling, what they're learning, the awkward moments, the challenges of connecting, and what it looks like to rebuild community in a new season. Because sometimes a move is measured in miles.

And sometimes, it's simply the feeling of having to start over.

Join us for the conversation—and maybe you'll recognize a little bit of your own story along the way. 💛

We saved this one for last. Because this one is ours. Throughout this entire mini-series we created space for the things Christian women carry silently — the exhaustion, the marriage struggles, the motherhood grief, the faith doubts, the things that feel too heavy or too honest or too vulnerable to say out loud. And now it's our turn.

In this final episode of Things Christian Women Don't Say Out Loud, Tayler, Alora, Mary, and Clarissa each share their own personal testimony — the thing they have struggled most to say out loud. The real story. The one that cost something to tell. The moment that changed everything. This is not a polished highlight reel. This is four women sitting down together and finally saying the thing. Because we believe that the story you are most afraid to tell is usually the very thing someone else desperately needs to hear.

In this episode we talk about:

• The personal struggles each of us carried in silence — and what finally broke them open
• What it actually costs to say the hard thing out loud for the first time
• The moment faith stopped being performance and became something real
• Marriage struggles, personal crisis, identity loss, and the seasons we almost didn't survive
• What God did in the hardest chapters we didn't think we were going to get through
• Why vulnerability in the Christian community is not weakness — it's the doorway to real healing
• The freedom that comes when you finally stop pretending and start telling the truth
• What we want every woman listening to know before this series ends

Scripture anchor:
Revelation 12:11 — "They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony." Your testimony has power. Even the parts you haven't said out loud yet. Especially those parts. This is the episode we almost didn't record. And it is the most important one in the series.

If you have been listening from Episode 1 — thank you. You showed up for every honest conversation and we hope you felt less alone in every single one of them. And if this is the first episode you're finding — go back and start from the beginning. There is something in this series for every season of your life.

This is Women Soaring. And we are just getting started.

Have you ever been angry at God and didn't know if that was allowed? Have you sat in church smiling while internally asking why He felt so far away? Have you prayed the same prayer for years and still heard nothing — and quietly started to wonder if any of it was even working?

This is Episode 4 of our mini-series — Things Christian Women Don't Say Out Loud — and we saved this one for last on purpose. Because this one is the deepest. And the most personal.

In this episode, Tayler, Alora, and Mary go to the places most Christian podcasts won't. The doubt. The unanswered prayers. The seasons where God went completely silent and they didn't know what to do with that. The bitterness of watching someone else receive the miracle you prayed for. The anger they were afraid to admit even to themselves. This is the faith episode. And it is the most honest one yet.

In this episode we talk about:

• Doubt as a doorway — not a dead end
• What to do when God feels completely silent
• Praying for your husband's safety every deployment and still living in fear every single day
• The prayers that felt unanswered and what that did to our faith
• Being angry at God — and whether that's allowed (spoiler: it is)
• What faith actually looks like inside a military life full of uncertainty
• How to worship God through genuine bitterness
• Coming out of the hardest season still standing — and still believing

Scripture anchor: Habakkuk 3:17-18 — "Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines... yet I will rejoice in the Lord."

Whether you are a lifelong woman of faith or you are somewhere in the middle of the hardest wrestling match of your spiritual life — you are safe here.

Bring your questions. Bring your doubt. Bring the things you have never said out loud. Because we believe that is exactly where the real thriving begins.
