When the Mom Days Are Hard: A Bit of Encouragement Holy Hot Mess - A Podcast for Catholic Women

    • Christianity

Welcome to a special solo episode of "The Holy Hot Mess Podcast" for Catholic Women with Heather! In this candid and heartfelt episode, Heather takes a moment to speak directly to you and offer some much-needed encouragement and motivation for those challenging mom days. We all know those moments when it feels like the weight of motherhood is just a little too heavy to bear.
Heather shares her insights on navigating those tough days, when you're unsure of how to handle the challenges in front of you, and the days when you question your abilities as a mom. Speaking from the heart, she aims to connect with any mama who might be in the trenches, struggling, and feeling overwhelmed. The message is clear: you are equipped, via the Holy Spirit living within yourself, to be the amazing mom your children need, because you were made for this.
As with any candid conversation, Heather acknowledges a couple of misspoken words in the episode. She clarifies that when she mentioned "when YOU were formed in YOUR womb," she meant to say "when YOU were formed in your mom's womb" – a genuine slip-up that humorously highlights the challenges of recording podcasts amidst sleep deprivation and the chaos of the YMCA.
Heather also corrects another slip by saying, "that doesn't mean you should confess and admit your shortcomings," where she meant to say, "that doesn't mean you SHOULDN'T confess..." It's a reminder that, just like all moms, she's a hot mess at times and embraces the authenticity of her journey.
I hope this reached you if you needed to hear it!
