The Mama Retreat Brittany Miller

As we jump into season 3 of The Mama Retreat, you'll notice a couple of changes!

The Mama Retreat continues to evolve and change with needs that we see around us-- and one of those needs has been dispelling myths and speaking truth about the reality of pornography addiction.

Brittany and her husband Colton talk about their very real, and very scary experiences with addiction recovery and betrayal trauma.

The goal of this episode is to bring knowledge, hope, and peace when it comes to these real-world topics.

Porn is a controversial and difficult topic to discuss.

However, research has shown that children are usually exposed to pornography around age 8. How can you prepare your children for potential exposures, and how can you foster healthy discussions around pornography & sexual exploitation?

Join me as I chat with Kristen A. Jenson, author of the books Good Pictures, Bad Pictures and Good Pictures, Bad Pictures, Jr. and creator of the program "Defend Young Minds".

The following are some of the resources discussed, as well as links to the books.

On our last retreat, we were taught about the Japanese art of Kintsugi. We learned so much!



The primary lesson that we learned is that there is beauty and value in the brokenness.



You are worthy, beautiful, and just the way you were meant to be. There is not only beauty in the brokenness--but strength.



Have you ever done Kintsugi? What lessons have you learned? Share with us on Instagram!

Today's episode is a little *discussion* on soul contracts. What is the idea behind a soul contract, and how could believing you have a soul contract with someone help you in your motherhood journey?

Also, we may or may not have had the sillies during this episode. (You get the real us this time... hahaha)

We'd love to hear your discussion about soul contracts! Go find this episode on Instagram and tell us what you think! Do you feel like you could have a soul contract with someone? If so, who?

Love, Kaity & Brittany
