Welcome to Welcome to

Welcome to Suzy

Welcome to Susie and just won't do dance. You don't have to know how to ever since, ever since we've got you late.

Welcome to Susie Larson Live. Always, always so honored to get to spend this time with you.

In fact, I look forward to bringing you conversations every single day that hopefully inspire you in your faith walk,

that deepen your understanding of God's word and that heightens your

awareness of his very real presence in your life.

Well, you know, we often hear two diametrically opposed messages, one in one ear, one in the other.

One is hustle, hustle, drive, strive, do it more.

And the other message is slow down, do less.

What if you are so secure in your relationship with God and so sure of what he's asking you to do that you were able to settle in, settle down, and embrace the grace to fill your space and run your race? I didn't mean for that to be a rhyme, but what if you were able to do that? How might life change for you if you settled into the groove that God has for you, or you were even at times content to be

misunderstood because your yes is yes and your no is no. Heather McFadden joins me today to talk

about her book, right where you belong. How do identify and fully occupy your God-given space?

We've got five copies to give away today. So if you're feeling a little stuck or if you're

feeling a little out of sync with what you think is God's highest and best for you, you can text the word book to 877-9-7-24-84. Let me give that to you again. 877-933-24-84. And it's been a while since I've asked for a question for you, I mean, asked for an answer to one of my questions so that you can engage with me. So I'm going to ask you this. How would you describe your current season in life calling? Do you feel stuck? Do you feel like you're moving fully in your calling? Do you feel like you're off course by a couple of degrees? Like you're doing the good, a good thing, but maybe not the best. How would you just describe where you're at in your current life season as it relates to your calling? I'd love to know. Okay, a couple quick announcements before we hear from Heather. We would love to pray for you, and we've got a very active prayer ministry behind the scenes. Our team loves to pray. On our website, myfaithradio.com, you'll find a link that says, let us pray for you. Just click on that. Let us know how we can pray for you and we will follow through. Also, you've got to know, there's these two short, two-minute features that I've been doing. You're going to hear them intermittently on faith radio, but they're also podcasts. So if you hear them, they're all about your calling. It's called Grow and Grow, a Grow and Go moment. So you can find those where all podcasts are played. Grow and Go with Susie Larson. I pray you find some encouragement there. These just launched. So they're just two minutes long, but if you need some encouragement along your day, check them out. Grow and Go. All right, let me tell you about my guest. We'll get her on the show. Heather McFadden is the host of the popular parenting podcast, Don't Mom Alone, with more than 18 million downloads from around the globe, as well as the author of the book, Don't Mom Alone. She finds great joy in connecting other women to mentors and experts through her podcast and in speaking at live events with women across the country. She and her husband and their four sons live in Dallas, Texas, and she and I just, well, she realized right before the show that I was on her podcast several years ago. So it's sort of a full circle moment. Heather, welcome to the show. Thanks, Susie, for having me. It's good to be with you. Yeah, looking forward to the conversation. So let's start here. What has God been speaking to about these days?

Man, I feel like every day is a fresh word, right? But yesterday, after I had been talking with friends about you, which is so crazy that I didn't even look at how we were going to be

talking today, we spent some time just listening to God and bringing some of the lies we've

been believing to him. And for me, I realized I had been thinking about a lot of lies related

to my kids. I'm in that season of motherhood where it's just middle schoolers and high

schoolers and challenges and some

lies started popping up and I wrote them down and I saw a theme that my behavior has created
