Grace in the Messy Middle with Vonda Driver
Are you in a messy season of life, not sure how to help your kids through their emotions because you are struggling through your own? Take heart, dear mama. You are not alone, and there is grace in the messy middle. Vonda shares with us her own experience of adoption with a biological only child, amidst an absent partner and then through divorce. She shares how she poured so much into her children and family life that she forgot the things she liked to do and felt a little lost when she became an empty nester. Now she helps other moms entering the empty nester stage to find balance in their life and remember who they truly are.

From People Pleasing to Balance and Peace with Sara Garnett
This week we talked to Sara Garnett about finding balance in life. Sara talks about learning how to overcome the people pleasing while being in the trenches of everyday life in order to have a healthier family life and more peace within. If you are a people pleaser, know that you are not alone, and you do not have to betray yourself for others. The first step is just realizing your patterns, so if you are there, you are already on your way. You are worth it to invest in yourself and start healing, for yourself and your family.

It can be so hard in the early days of mothering, when we are being bombarded by messaging that our baby should be sleeping through the night, that we need a structured schedule, and that if these things don’t work, it’s our fault! Mama, you are not alone, and it is not your fault. Join us in this episode where Kaili Ets explains to us what normal baby development actually looks like, and the new things she learned as a mom, after spending several years of her career focused on early childhood development.
