In this episode, we’re unpacking one common phrase many moms say without realizing its impact: “I shouldn’t have to tell you this again.” While it often comes from exhaustion and frustration, this phrase can unintentionally communicate shame instead of responsibility. We’ll explore what your daughter actually hears when you say it, why repetition is a normal part of learning, and how your words shape her confidence, self-talk, and emotional safety.

You’ll also learn simple, practical language swaps that keep expectations clear while protecting connection. Through relatable stories and gentle mindset shifts, this episode will help you guide your daughter with patience, leadership, and compassion—without lowering standards. If you’re ready to teach responsibility without hurting your relationship, this conversation will give you the tools and encouragement you need.

Being a mom is one of the absolute best AND hardest jobs on the planet. Before you get the job, there are all these ideas about what it's like, what you want to do. But when reality hits, it's not at all what you had in mind. And there's no manual for what to do.

That's where I come in. My goal is to share some of my experiences, even some tips and tools, that will help you navigate the complex job of Mom.

Being a girl mom means cheering for big dreams while also navigating doubt, comparison, fear of failure, and the pressure our daughters often feel to “get it right.” In this episode, we’re talking about what it really looks like to raise girls who imagine boldly, trust their inner voice, and believe they are capable—not because the world tells them so, but because they are grounded in who they are and Whose they are. You’ll hear a real-life look at how self-doubt shows up in our daughters, why trying to “fix” their confidence doesn’t work, and how our presence, belief, and guidance shape the way they see themselves and their future.

If you’re ready to raise a daughter who is confident, grounded, brave, and deeply supported—this episode will encourage you and equip you right where you are.

Motherhood is full of moments that don’t look the way we imagined they would—hard days, unmet expectations, and seasons that stretch us beyond what feels comfortable. Especially during the holidays, it’s easy to feel the weight of doing, producing, and holding everything together, while quietly wondering what God might be doing in us through it all. When we slow down and look at the Christmas story through the lens of a mother, Mary’s journey reminds us that the sacred often unfolds in the middle of the messy, unexpected, and overwhelming.

In this special Christmas Eve episode, we explore the story of Mary and what her motherhood teaches us about obedience, trust, and treasuring moments even when understanding is incomplete. You’ll be encouraged to see your role as a mom as intentional and divinely appointed, to find peace when reality doesn’t match expectations, and to recognize the holy work happening in your everyday life. This episode is a gentle invitation to pause, breathe, and remember that motherhood itself is part of the miracle.
