Episode 5 Strength in the Waiting

In this episode of Boy Moms Overcoming Obstacles, I would like to reconnect with the Boy Moms community! I also like to share the joys and challenges of motherhood. After taking a brief break, as I reflect on the beautiful, busy season of life, especially with the arrival of my first grandchild. This episode expresses my gratitude for this new chapter and the joy it brings. The episode dives into the theme of Strength in the Waiting, drawing inspiration from Joshua 1:7, which encourages strength and courage in the face of fear and discouragement. The personal struggles in my journey of motherhood, particularly when facing my son’s struggles and rebellious choices. I open up about the self-doubt that crept in during those tough moments, but emphasizes the importance of remaining strong and courageous, trusting in God's timing. Just a reminder that courage doesn't mean the absence of fear, but the strength to move forward despite it. Highlighting the importance of prayer and trusting God, even when the answers don’t come immediately. Though the waiting can be difficult, I truly believe it is a season for growth, both for the child and for the parent. Mom stay encourage to place your trust in God’s wisdom, knowing that obedience and faith lead to peace, even if results take time. Ultimately, I hope you find the episode serves as a reminder that, while parenting can be overwhelming, there is power in waiting patiently, trusting in God’s plan, and having the courage to persevere through difficult seasons. Please leave a comment or share this episode with someone that might need some encouragement. Thank you BOO Community and stay blessed!  Love from your Podcast Host,  -Iranda You can reach out to me at aglimpseofbliss@gmail.com.  [aglimpseofbliss@gmail.com]

Episode 4 Boys will be Boys

Welcome Boo Community! I’d like to dedicate this episode to the lives lost to gun violence and stand in remembrance of every child, teen, parent, friend, and community member whose lives were forever changed. Today’s topic is something close to my heart: Getting Rid of the Saying “Boys Will Be Boys.” Scriptures to reference: Proverbs 13:20 walk with the wise and become wise, but for a companion of fools will be destroyed another. Corinthians 15:33 do not be deceived , evil company or bad company corrupts good character/good habits.  Instead of saying “boys will be boys,” let’s start saying: * “Boys can be kind.” * “Boys can communicate.” * “Boys can have emotions.” * “Boys can be respectful.” Thank you so much for joining me today. I’m grateful you are part of the boo community with you all. Wishing you a safe, fun, and blessed summer. Take care, and God bless.   Contact: aglimpseofbliss@gmail.com

Episode 3 A Mother's Unconditional Love

In this episode of Boys Overcoming Obstacles, Iranda opens up about the power and depth of a mother’s love. She reflects on the challenges of being present as a mom in a busy world, the importance of leaning on God for strength, and the wisdom of disciplining with patience and love. Drawing from Scripture and personal experience, she encourages fellow moms to rest, reset, and parent from a place of grace—not frustration. Iranda also shares an exciting update: she’s contributed a chapter to a new book called From the Hearts of a Mother, featuring stories from 13 diverse moms. This heartfelt collection celebrates motherhood in all its beauty and complexity. Originally meant for Mother’s Day weekend, this episode arrives right on time with a timely reminder: you’re not alone, boy mom. You are loved, seen, and doing better than you think. Stay tuned for the next episode—no matter what today holds; have a good day no matter what and God bless.  Contact: aglimpseofbliss@gmail.com

Episode 2 Are you living on the edge or just living?

Hey Boymoms, Welcome back to the podcast - Boymoms Overcoming Obstacles This is Iranda, my name is spelled  like Miranda without the M. Today, I want to talk about something that hit me unexpectedly… in the middle of a concert. I didn’t go looking for a message. Honestly, I just needed to be outside. I needed to feel a little normal again — to catch a breath from the daily grind, the chaos, the noise. But somewhere between the music and the lights, the artist asked a question that stopped me in my tracks. He said: “Do you live every day as just another day… or do you live on the edge of your seat?” Whew. That one hit me. And right there, in that moment, I thought to myself: Yes. I want to live on the edge of my seat. Living with anticipation. With purpose. With excitement about what God has next. Because here’s the thing — we get to choose. Every single day, we decide: Are we going to sit back and wait for life to happen to us? Or are we going to move forward — even if it’s just one small step — and trust that God’s got something good waiting for us? He does. He really does. God is waiting for us to move. He’s got plans. He’s got purpose. But if we stay stuck, we could miss what was meant for us. What already belongs to us. So let me ask you: Are you living on the edge of your seat? I hope so. Because there’s something powerful about expecting goodness. About choosing joy. About living with gratitude — even when things aren’t perfect. And when it gets overwhelming — and trust me, I know it can — remember this: Breathe. Look around. And focus on the goodness that’s already around you. There’s always something to be thankful for. Let me leave you with this verse — one that’s been grounding me lately: Colossians 2:7 — “Rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” So today, let’s live rooted. Let’s live grateful. And let’s stay on the edge of our seats… because God’s just getting started.   Contact: aglimpseofbliss@gmail.com
