Customer Reviews
kicking the perfectionist mindset out the window
I cannot stop listening to Andrea’s podcast. First off, her voice is so calming and reassuring. She makes it feel like you’re sitting and enjoying a cup of coffee together! She is full of wisdom, honesty, and amazing tips to kicking the perfectionist mindset out the window in motherhood & just life in general! Stop what you’re doing now and listen.
The best tool for a woman like me
I am a newer listener and am starting from the oldest episodes and slowly moving my way up. I have to say that I feel like this podcast was made for me; I identify with just about every single episode I’ve listened to so far, and I have found it so encouraging to know there are other mothers of faith who experience much of the same stressors as me. I have already been implementing small changes in my life to help me to be a better wife, mother, employee, and child of God… all of which lead to a better version of myself. I’m so glad God connected me with this podcast, and I’m really excited to continue my listening.
Hope for imperfect moms like me
I love how Andrea and her guests help imperfect moms like me, no matter how old our kiddos get. This “9” especially loved her convo with Amy Wicks on the Enneagram for Moms. ❤️ Kim Stewart | Book Marketing Mania for Christian Authors
