Here I am in desperation when my two-year-old is, you know, having a temper tantrum and I'm like,

oh my goodness, wow, like I need the Lord's grace and help.

I need patience in this moment.

I don't know what to do.

And it's interesting because these things come up more, time and time again and I see how how much I need the grace of God.

Hey friends, welcome back to the Ruth Joe Simon's podcast.

In celebration of Mother's Day this month, I'm sitting down

to talk with a couple of my friends about the wild and wonderful journey of motherhood.

Today I'm talking to Ginger Voelo, who is a best-selling author and mom to three young children.

Having been a part of her family's reality TV series for many,

many years, she's here today to share her thoughts on what she's learned through her experiences

then and now. Oh, Ginger, welcome to the podcast. I'm so glad you're here. Thank you so much for having me, Ruth. You know, we're kind of like new friends. I got to just meet you. What was it? Was it last year or the year before at The Arc Encounter when we were both speaking there? I believe it was last year. Yes. Last year. All of it. All of it mixes together. But I got to just say new friends, but immediately feeling like,

oh my goodness, we could sit and talk for hours. And so I had to have you on because I figured

we have some good conversations in us. Oh, 100%. It was such a treat meeting you at that conference.

And I've just been so impacted by all of your books and it's been a huge blessing for

my soul. You're a really, really kind, friend. And it's so sweet because I feel like just as a

mama who's, you know, just a little season ahead, you know, with my oldest, he's going to be 23

tomorrow, actually, at the time of this recording.

And I'm 11 years out from having a newborn, but you're just any day now at the time of this recording

about to welcome your third. And so how are you feeling? How are you doing? Yeah, we're really excited.

Are you feeling relaxed and calm?
