    Episode 4: Why is Motherhood Difficult? (Day 2 Recap of TFM)

    Welcome back to The Found Mama Podcast, where we talkabout real life and real motherhood while still in the thick of it all. (And as if you listen closely, you can probably hear my kids in the background at least once ... how's that for real life?) In this episode, I am recapping the second devotion from my30-day devotional and prayer journal for moms entitled “The Found Mama.” The title is: "Why is Motherhood Difficult?" and the key scripture is Ephesians 6:12. In this episode, we're talking about the example we set for our children, the importance of spending time with God, and how we have a very real enemy who is actively working against us with one goal in mind. Whether you’re folding laundry, driving carpool, hiding in the pantry for five quiet minutes, or anything in-between, I’m so glad you’re here. 🤍 As promised, the link to grab your copy of “The Found Mama” Devotional ⁠here.⁠ You don't have to read the devotional with me to benefit from this podcast, but if you like the show, you will love the book! You can access our Found Mama Anthems Spotify playlist here as we upload new songs each week.
