    Why Did You Want to Become a Mother?

    Why Did You Want to Become a Mother?

    Why did you want to become a mother?  I don't think many of us ask ourselves that question.  It's just a rite of passage for many.  And yet, the enormity of raising humans is an endeavor that forces us to identify our "Why".  If not, we won't enjoy the process nor will we reap the benefits of sacrificial love.

    You Become Who You Surround Yourself With

    You Become Who You Surround Yourself With

    Many different people have expressed this thought - you become who you surround yourself with.  We taught this concept to our children as they were growing up and choosing friends.  However, it isn’t just for our children and the friends they choose.
    It’s for all of us in many different ways.

    What is Motherhood?

    What is Motherhood?

    Did my motherhood shape my faith, or rather, did my faith shape my motherhood?  I’m not sure I have the answer, but after that retreat when I understood that I wasn’t just marking time here, that I had a mission from God, I knew that when I embraced my vocation with a joy and fervor I had not done before, vocation and faith worked together to change me and to grow in virtue and love.

    How to Find Time for Authentic Self-Care

    How to Find Time for Authentic Self-Care

    Self-care has gotten a bad rap, and I think that’s because we’ve blurred the lines of self-care and over-indulgence.
    We can’t live in either extreme – putting yourself so last that you’re not even on your list nor putting yourself 1st all the time to please all your whims and desires so that all you think about is yourself.
    So, let’s look at self-care from a reasonable,  moderate perspective.

    Hope and Joy

    How do you find joy in motherhood or in your marriage?
    It's not by depending on yourself or expecting that your children will be perfect.
    We find hope and joy by seeking it.

My new favorite parenting podcast

I learn something new every time I listen. The marriage and motherhood guidance challenges me to change for the better. I really enjoy the anecdotes, Catholic viewpoints, and life coaching.

One of the best podcasts if you want to stay married

Every time I listen to Jane something clicks on my mind. I am so thankful for you, Jane, and the time and talents that you share with us.

The last podcast that I listened to touched my heart so much ❤️‍🔥and this is my takeaway:

“How is my husband sacrificing for our son and myself?”

I agree entirely this podcast is full of PRACTICAL tools to become the women we are called to be 😁🌹🥰🙏

Great episode on Love Languages

This episode was so revealing when Janet said that many men consider going to work as the primary way to show love for their spouses and families. The entire episode had many great observations on communicating support, affection and love for your husband…especially, “make requests without expectations” - yes! So simple and yet challenging. I appreciate that Janet (in the several episodes I have listened to) challenges the listener to make the change instead of relying on others. So much of her material is practical. Thank you for these little changes that can make a huge difference!
