As mothers, we are often sold lies about what our lives will look like while raising children. Unfortunately, many of these voices paint motherhood in a negative light. At the beginning of her motherhood journey, Meg was quick to recognize these lies and embrace a different outlook instead. This conversation is incredibly encouraging for any mother who is ready to embrace her current season of motherhood with all its blessings and challenges. Meg urges us to lean into our personalities and strengths as mothers and stop comparing ourselves to what others are doing. What will it take for your unique family to flourish? Listen in to take your next step!

In this episode, we cover:

• Overturning the narrative that your life is over when you become a mother
