After our last episode, we decided to do a follow-up on Working Moms. We wanted to respond to some listener reactions to this topic and ultimately remind everyone that we are all on a unique journey with the Lord. Can we celebrate and encourage someone who’s story of motherhood is different than ours? We believe deeply in challenging ourselves and our listeners to do exactly that.

One of our most requested topics has been working moms! In this episode we sit down with three working moms to get real about the struggle of pursuing a career while also raising a family. What messages from culture can cause us to feel guilty about our role and how do we speak truth to ourselves to rise above it? Get ready to cry, we know we did.

You asked about our conflict resolution styles so on this episode with Seajay, Erika and Becky, they explore their own very different styles of handling conflict. Our hosts also share some valuable insights to resolve conflicts in a heathy way.

Join the ladies in this new episode about being single! We are joined by special guests, Jessica Gilstrap and Bryan Japhet, who not only are on staff at our local church but, have walked out a healthy journey of being single and protecting their hearts in what can be a very confusing time. We hope you gain insights for your singleness journey and maybe even advice to give to the single people around you!

In this episode we follow up with Seajay, Becky and Erika to get an intimate look at how they handled the stressful situations they were facing and how they walked it out with the Lord. Stick around to the end as Erika takes a moment to pray over all you listeners!

We all handle stress differently. In this episode we giggle about the weird things the three of us do to “de-stress”. We also dive into what healthy looks like in the stresses of life. Tip: Healthy does not mean that you are unaffected by stress!

Happy New Year! The ladies kick off 2019 with a conversation featuring Pastor Angela West who joined us for our special Q&A episode.

You’ll be inspired by Angela’s journey as she discovered the fullness of her calling well into her 40’s.
