25: Trusting Jesus To Heal Our Complicated Motherhood Stories

One of the things that surprised me the most about motherhood was honestly, how complicated it is. I'll be honest, I brought a lot of baggage into motherhood, from my childhood and from my own mom's motherhood story. As it turns out, they way you were mothered influences your own motherhood journey on both sides. I'm not throwing my mom under the bus here friends, I had a great childhood and there is so much about WHO I am that I know is a direct result of how she nurtured and encouraged me. But things made so much more sense to me after I read the book, It's Momplicated by Joan Edwards Kay and Debbie Asldorf. And I'm super pumped to bring you this interview with them today. In this episode, the three of us share our stories and it's not all kittens and roses. But, I hope you leave this episode encouraged on the path of walking with Jesus towards healing and hope. Because there is NOTHING that God can't redeem. Nothing.
