Summary
If you’ve ever found yourself discouraged in motherhood and wondering where to look for help, today’s guest, Whitney Newby from Brighter Day Press, has written a Scripture-drenched devotional geared toward helping you answer that exact question.
In this episode, we chat all things motherhood, including the fallacy of “doing it all” (nobody does) and how to change our mindset when we’re being bombarded by negativity from the world.
Be encouraged that there is hope and purpose in those moments of feeling stuck and not knowing where to turn.
God is always by our side.

| 0:12.1 | And I have such a wonderful guest for you today who is going to encourage your heart |
