Ep. 11 | PREGNANCY + MOM GUILT: Our perspectives to overcome

Mary Anne is pregnant! And it. is. hard. Constant nausea and not being able to keep up is the worst, but it doesn't have to make you feel "mom guilt." In this episode, we discuss our perspectives about mom guilt, how Olivia has overcome it, and how Mary Anne tries to avoid it. We hope you leave this episode feeling like you can utilize the mom guilt you're feeling to become more refined as a Christian mother and approach each situation of guilt with a more biblical perspective.

Ep. 10 | 11 THINGS WE QUIT TO LIVE SIMPLY: Slow living for Christian SAHMs

We think living by 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 is wise: "...make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody." What do you think? Should all Christians live "simply"? Listen in for the 11 things related to possessions, habits and mindset that we quit to live more simply. Please consider sharing this episode with one Christian SAHM friend! Amazon toy list for kids ages 1-5. (great inspo to send to friends and family for birthdays!)

🎉 Welcome back to the "Related to Motherhood" podcast! In our latest episode, we discuss the online “self-care movement” and its impact on our motherhood mindsets. Join us as we challenge the prevalent notion of putting your own happiness first and explore the harmony that can be found between self-care and the biblical teachings of selflessness.
