Welcome to Stir, the Podcast! Think of this as your bi-weekly FaceTime call with your sisters for life chats and spiritual encouragement, but wrapped up in plenty of fun catch-ups and even some juicy "stirring of the podcast". Hosted by Dina and Nadia (Ukrainian-born, US-raised), we are discussing what it looks like to thrive in multi-cultural motherhood, grow as joyful women, and most importantly, do it all for God's glory.

    Storytelling mojo + when does community count?

  5. Sep 3

    Honey roasted peanuts + comparison

    Edit: We apologize for the poor audio in this episode, we had a technical difficulty but felt that the conversation was worth keeping. In this episode, we talk about looking at the hardships of past generations and discuss whether it is comparison or remembrance.

  6. Aug 2

    Tech procrastination + "The Conversation" (the grandparent dynamic)

    Disclaimer: The topic is toxic parenting and some forms of abuse are discussed here. In this episode we discuss ourr usual pet peeves & pleasures, begin discussing cultural values, and more importantly, begin fleshing out the conversation of honoring our parents vs. cutting out toxic grandparents.
