099: Embracing a "Slow Motherhood"

"It goes so fast!" A descriptive for millennia used for motherhood, and especially emphasized in our modern world. Time goes fast. Kids grow up fast. There are endless options when it comes to how we raise our children and endless voices declaring what we ought to choose. What if we resisted the main stream slip stream of outward significance and embraced purpose-driven, Spirit-led as the new benchmark for success in raising kids? The goal is never perfection, its purpose-driven and joy-filled amidst the chaos that will inevitably ensue in a mother's journey. This episode overviews a short devotional overviewing the acronym for "SLOW' with four short musings for each letter to spark creativity in your motherhood. We believe as Well Women, our purpose is only highlighted and enlarged as a result of motherhood, not diminished. Whether you're a first time mom or seasoned grandmother, this episode will empower you to continue nurturing those around you with a soft heart and willing hands.

098: 3 Practical Ways to Not Lose Your Mind in Transition

Have you noticed that there is a lot of transition happening around us? People are moving, changing careers, communities, schools and/or their families are growing. I personally love transition, yet I know many dread it. Either way transition is a stress, even if it’s exciting for you. My hope is that as women we don't go through transition perfectly, but that we come out the other side transformed. This episode covers three very practical ways to stay sane in the midst of life change (and not lose your mind in the process!) How can we stay grounded when our entire house is in moving boxes or our schedules are thrown for a loop? You'll leave this episode feeling inspired and maybe even excited for your next transition.
