E41 | SAY YES
Do you know what is the most powerful word? A word that can uproot anxiety. A word that is simultaneously scary and life-changing. YES. An Intentional YES unlocks growth and pushes the boundaries of what is possible. Here at MOPS, we are declaring this year as the Year of Yes.
Too often, our 'yeses' are reserved for default decisions we aren't even intentionally making or the stuff we feel obligated to do. What if we started saying 'yes' to the important things? Yes, to parenting on purpose. Yes, to significant challenges and out-of-your-comfort-zone opportunities. Yes, to your marriage. Invitations to connect with others? Yes, please. Saying yes opens us up to new ways of thinking and helps cultivate a growth mindset.
Listen in as we detail how this year's theme "Say Yes" came about and get the inside scoop on the process. Looking for even more, visit sneakpeek.mops.org.

Customer Reviews
Love, love, love
So much wisdom is being shared here in a very non-threatening way. I love how in episode 1 Leeana Tankersley says she is extra good at allowing screen time. 😆😆😆. That resonated with me. I want my kids to stick with the 1 hour a day, but it rarely actually happens with one child in particular. Such a battle. Anyhow, I love the camaraderie between the hosts and the “me too” moments from each of the episodes I have heard.
Feels like you’re hanging out together
Great discussions for moms
From a mother of two special needs children
Thank you so much for your episode on raising special needs children. It is such a hard lonely path. Bringing awareness to this topic is so important. The part of guilt is so true! Please bring more episodes on this topic and encourage your MOPS leadership to open their hearts and doors to mamas whose children need extra love.
