"The Walk" by Richard Paul Evans

The next school year is about to begin! Whether your kids are attending school in person, online, or through a homeschool program, starting is the hardest part. After 4-5 months of extended Spring/Summer Break, we're out of practice and unsure about what our new "normal" will look like. 

Hey Sis!

As you start this new journey we have a bit of advice: be seaweed and go with the flow. 

We have no idea what this year will really look like, and we can't control all the factors we used to. But as we reach out for support from our sisters, give grace to ourselves and our families, and determine what creates a successful school year, we can be seaweed and enjoy the journey.

Hey Sis!  Today is a journey down a road that few have traveled.  You won't want to miss this.

Alicia shares the story or her daughter, Lucy.  That's right, Alicia has a little girl who lived only one brief hour. Alicia talks to us about her experience of carrying Lucy, and giving birth to her, and how the women around her loved and strengthened her through it all.

We love you sis.  We know joy and we know pain, and we are here to walk this life with you.  

You've Got This Sis!

You've heard it before: "You've Got This!" Maybe you're friend said it to offer encouragement, or your mom said it before you walked out the door in the morning. Some days you feel like "you've got this, Sis", and other days you don't. And that's okay! In fact, that's one reason why we started this podcast, to remind you that wherever you're at on that spectrum, you're not alone. Together we've got this!

Hey Sis!  Today we talk about a step we have taken in our journey to provide each of your content, resources and encouragement!  We recently gathered women in our life together for a "You've Got This Sis" photoshoot.  None of these women knew the other, it could have been really uncomfortable, even disastrous.  Alicia and I were the common thread, and huddled everyone together to share our vision of what "Sis" means to us,  and hopefully to all women. 

P.S. We were a group less than 10, so corona approved :-)

We are here for you!  You belong here, sis!  We've got you, and You've Got This!

Hey Sis!  This week we address the need, the desire and fulfillment of personal freedom.  It's there for the taking.  Listen, join us, and let's all become more free in who we are!

Quotes: 

• Young Women Theme of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints:

"I am a beloved daughter of heavenly parents, with a divine nature and eternal destiny.

As a disciple of Jesus Christ, I strive to become like Him. I seek and act upon personal revelation and minister to others in His holy name.

I will stand as a witness of God at all times and in all things and in all places.

As I strive to qualify for exaltation, I cherish the gift of repentance and seek to improve each day. With faith, I will strengthen my home and family, make and keep sacred covenants, and receive the ordinances and blessings of the holy temple."

• "The circles of women around us weave invisible nets of love that carry us when we are weak and sing with us when we are strong." unknown author
• "Being a woman is hard.  No boobs? Dang.  Grow some.  Boobs?  Cover yourself.  You're so vulgar.  No booty?  Everyone will laugh at you for it.  Booty?  Well, you better cover yourself cause you don't want to draw attention to that booty.  Short?  You need to wear heels.  Tall?  Dang.  You can't be taller than your man.  Also, never wear heels. Skinny?  Gotta gain weight cause nobody like a boney woman.  Chubby?  Gotta lost weight cause nobody likes a fat woman.  You like make up? Heck no!  No make up? Please take care of yourself.  Don't be so lazy!
• We, women, are constantly shamed for everything.  So we might as well live FREE, and be who we are meant to be!" unknown author
• "Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes." Gandhi
