Summary
As moms, we bear a lot of weight.
There are so many different voices telling us what to do and how to parent, and it's easy to get caught up in comparing ourselves to every other mom around us.
Our desire to get it right is a good thing. Bad moms don't worry about whether or not they are bad moms. Good moms do that. But we don't have to constantly beat ourselves up when we feel like we fall short. Our friend, author and Licensed Counselor Rachael Elmore joins us on this episode to remind us of what is true for us as moms: Even in our mistakes, God is in control.
