Summary
So thankful to bring you some insight this week from my friend Kristin. She's a mom of 6 kids (plus 1 in heaven) who has learned the importance of facing lies head-on with a plan. She's passionate about helping moms be brave and seeing the importance of being the one to reach out to other moms instead of waiting for them to come to you.
We talk about the journey through the grief of miscarriage, how to make new mom friends after you move, taking thoughts captive and how you'll hear the lies first, and the importance of prioritizing time with God even when you're exhausted.
