Welcome to the first episode in May is for Mamas. Every episode this month will be dedicated

to all the Mamas listening and will hopefully be encouraging and helpful to you. Before I jump

into the episode, I wanted you to know that starting tomorrow, May 5th, lasting through May 10th,

my legacy photo system is going to be on sale. This is the system I created

to organize all of my photos, my printed photos, my digital photos, how to back them up, how to get

them under control on my phone, how to get a system in place long term moving forward so that you

can get rid of the overwhelming stress of managing your photos

and actually enjoy them again. So head to legacyphotosystem.com, May 5th through the 10th,

to grab yours on sale. It's the perfect Mother's Day gift in my opinion if you don't have it

already. Now, this episode feels vulnerable. This episode feels extra vulnerable for me because I don't feel like I got to this path of

motherhood that I'm on like most women do.

But I'm realizing that every story of motherhood is different and hard and beautiful

in every unique way.

And so in hopes that I'm going to make someone who's listening feel a little less lonely

and a little more normal, I am going to be vulnerable and share how I got here, how I got

to being a mama of almost four kids, how I love it so much,

but how I was terrified of it at first.

You're listening to Work and Play with Nancy Ray, episode 113.

Much of our daily lives can be divided into two categories, work and play.

Simply put, that is where our life and our legacy take place.

This is a podcast all about learning to work and play well, which leads to a healthy soul

and a fulfilling life.
