Big announcement in this episode!

Transition happens all the time.

Maybe you’re going through a transition right now too.

I've talked to other moms who are feeling it.

If you're wondering "What's the next thing?" for you, you aren't alone.

After the interviews with Merritt and Mary Kathryn in episodes 85 and 86 about pursuing dreams as a mom (and lots of thought, prayer, and conversations with friends) I’ve felt a confirmation in my soul that it’s time for a new season.

Not just personally, but also with Gotcha Mama and what I’m doing to support and encourage moms...

Tune in to find out more!

No parent wants to see their child struggle.

But there's a point when our help isn't actually helping them learn the skills they need to be responsible, resilient adults down the road.

Coming to their rescue every time they forget something at home...

Resolving arguments with friends for them...

Once or twice is not an issue.

But when it becomes an all-the-time thing, it can set them up to be the college kid whose mom calls their teacher because they didn't get the grade they wanted. Yikes!

So how do we teach them to be resilient when all we want to do is protect them?

That's what my guest Meredith Brough and I discuss in this episode.

Meredith has a lot of experience raising children and working with children. She's been married for 24 years and has 5 children ranging from 12 to 21-years-old. 

She also has over 30 years of experience caring for kids in various roles, as a nanny, preschool teacher, running a daycare from her home, and more.

We talk about:

• Some of the challenges and obstacles that she experienced raising her five kids
• Some ways that moms sometimes try to make things “perfect and protect our children from reality” and How we can stop doing this so much 
• The importance of resilience and learning consequences for kids
• How to know the balance of teaching and protecting and how she’s tried to teach her children to “struggle well”

Maybe you realize that NOW IS the time to pursue what God has put on your heart.

Right here in the middle of motherhood with little kids, you're going to pursue this dream.

But you don't want to pursue it in a way that creates anxiety and overwhelm.

Not in a way that's driven by comparison of what someone else is doing or guilt for "not being enough" for your children OR in your business.

Good news. There's a better way.

And my guest this week, Mary Kathryn Tiller, shares her heart for encouraging mom entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams in a way that "moves at the pace of Jesus".

Mary Kathryn is a mom of two and a writer.

Her passion is helping entrepreneurial mamas connect more deeply with Christ so they can find the strength they need to thrive in all He’s called them to do. 

Mary Kathryn is full of wisdom and encouragement.

We talk about:

• How we can embrace motherhood AND our calling without “hustling harder”
• WHY it's important for moms to pursue what's on their heart in the middle of motherhood 
• That if Jesus is the center of everything we do, we can move at His pace and trust that He'll unfold our dreams in a way that gives us life- not anxiety. THIS is SO good!
• And her free resource Five Pockets of Time and How to Make Them Work for You as an entrepreneur and mom with young kids

You're going to walk away from this conversation feeling lighter and inspired. I know I did!
