Yeah, I think that was one of the things that kept me from community, was this feeling

like out there somewhere, there was this formula for a good outcome, an adult child who's

walking with the Lord, who's functioning well, and I was somehow missing that formula.

And maybe it was one more book I needed to read, or maybe it was a podcast now, we would

say that I need to listen to.

We need each other.

None of us are designed to do this life alone without support, without community, but sometimes

let's be honest.

We just don't know how to get over our own self-reliance and get honest with others.

So today we're going to learn from author and podcast host Heather McFadian how to not

mom alone, but her insight, it is not just for moms.

In fact, we talk a lot more about just being human than being a mom.

This is going to apply to whoever you are and whatever you do.

She's going to dive into the essential nature of community and nudgey toward it even

when community may not feel natural to you.

And you're going to get tips on how to grow authentic friendships as an adult plus.

One more thing, she is going to demo the myth that there is a good mom formula, my friend.

There is not and you need to hear about that.

So, Casey, cue the intro, here we come.

Welcome to the 413 podcast where practical encouragement and biblical wisdom set you

up to live the eye-cam life because you can't do all things through Christ who strengthens

you.
