Summary

I can’t believe it but today we are celebrating 500 episodes of Don’t Mom Alone! I am bringing back my very first guest and mentor Leslie to “recap” the last eleven years. Leslie had been encouraging me from before I started this podcast and her fingerprints are all over my motherhood. We get an update on her life and she shares how to navigate the empty nest phase.

Leslie reminds us of Psalms 16:6-8 (which I also wrote about in my book), “The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” God is faithful in ALL seasons from newborn to empty nest.

Also, some of my listeners call in to share what Don’t Mom Alone has meant to them. Here are a few of the highlights…

How healing prayer ministry has been life-changing.
Be in community and reach out for help.
Become the inviter instead of waiting for others to invite you in.
Receive and give grace to others through the challenges of motherhood.

0:00.0	Hi, Heather. My name is Jeannie from upstate New York. Happy 500th episode. I've been listening to your podcast ever since I became a mom in 2014, which is crazily now a whole decade of listening. One change I've made to not mom alone is simply tuning into your show every Monday. I've grown so much from all that
0:23.4	you share. The insights, guests, prayers, being connected to a whole world of moms through your show
0:30.3	has made it possible for me to discover tools to face many of the challenges of being a mom,
0:35.7	wife, daughter, friend, and follower of Christ,
0:39.9	all the while being reminded to receive grace when I mess up and to give it to others.
0:45.3	Thank you for your ministry and especially for you.
0:49.8	A whole generation of mothers and their children and their children's children

1:26.6	because she was my first guest back in 2013 when the show
1:33.2	was called God-centered mom and I was producing it all on my own, recording it on my laptop,
1:38.3	no mic. And I'm so happy that I'm not podcasting alone anymore, and I have had such an amazing group of
1:45.9	people come alongside me and help me out.
1:47.9	I'd love to give them a shout out.
1:49.8	Sarah Jane was my first virtual assistant, and Ted has consistently helped me with website
1:55.6	design and upkeep, and anytime I'm like, Ted, it's broken, fix it.
2:03.3	Rachel came on as my editor and is still rocking it with editing this show and sidetracked. We had Stephanie as a virtual assistant,
2:09.0	and she did such a great job. And my friend Misty came alongside me and helped me out with
