We were never promised that life would be easy, but when we do it together, it becomes much easier.

I genuinely believe that we have to be intentional about creating a joyful life.

I believe in happy parenting, healthy marriages, long-lasting friendships, and making perfect memories in imperfect homes.

But those things require deep, holy, heartwork.

I am passionate when it comes to sharing vulnerably about the things that people are not always comfortable discussing,

and I am passionate about sharing practical wisdom that has helped me to help you navigate through life less stressfully and more purposefully.

On the Living Easy Podcast, you'll hear honest insight with the Biblical Foundation to help you become best friends with your spouse again,

to love your motherhood so much that you don't need wine or even coffee to get through the day and to find hope in the very real trials and pain that we face moment to moment.

I want to challenge you every Monday to live life with purpose, to choose joy, and to honor God with all that you do.

Are you ready to fight hard for that sweet, abundant life?

If so, I would love to do it together.

So grab a cup of coffee and join me every Monday.

I'm Lindsay Mayesas, and this is the Living Easy Podcast.

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the Living Easy Podcast with Lindsay Mayesas.

I really, really am passionate about this one, so I really encourage you to listen all the way through, to embrace this, to listen to what God's word has to say,

and also to just lean in to your motherhood in a healthier way.

So let's just jump in. We often believe this lie that the more we suffer in motherhood, the more that we sacrifice, the more we're like Jesus, and the more loving we are as mothers.

If we believe that the more that we suffer, the better the mom, there is a misinterpretation in there that I want to help clear up.

As we see this in mommy culture all the time, don't we?

Our current society and culture seems to demand that mamas need to be all in all the time, especially when it comes to school, or work, or extracurricular activities, sports, domestic duties, you name it, the whole gamut.
