Comparison is the thief of joy. You know it, I know it, and yet we keep struggling with it. One of the hardest things about being a mom is not knowing if you're doing it right. But that mom I follow on Instagram sure looks like she's doing it right! Maybe I should try what she's doing. If this resonates with you, I'm speaking to you today.

It's time to get real about the importance of embracing your season of motherhood so you can better support your kids. Please know that I do not pretend to have this mom life thing mastered in any way, shape, or form. I do, however, think it's important to have these conversations and get some of this stuff out in the open where we can deal with it!

Episode Highlights

• Each stage of motherhood is unique.

But I found the rhythm, and I've got the strategies to help your ladies create some breathing room. So, if you're organizing an event, whether it's a conference, church gathering, or retreat, and you want a speaker who brings humor, real talk, and a dose of inspiration, I'm your girl.
