Join me here every week as I coach a listener through a specific challenge and empower them

with tools to find healing. And today with me I have Hannah Olson, who is the creator of

Freckled Han, a platform helping women redefine motherhood. I'm so happy to have you on

this show, Hannah. Welcome. Thank you so much. I'm so excited to be here and meet you and be able to

pick your brain for a minute. Well, thank you. All right. Well, what is your question for me today, Hannah?

All right. So you mentioned, I think we kind of have similar goals overall, just helping women and especially women in the church.

And I have been talking about motherhood as a relationship as well, which I know is something that you talk about a lot.

about sharing that message and helping women really internalize that message. I have a really hard

time when I feel like even now, okay, how do I phrase the question? Hold on. I had it practice and now I'm

that's okay. We're casual.

How do I reconcile what I feel like I've been called to do to help women in this way

with feeling like a lot of the messaging from the Church of Jesus Christ of Laudetay Saints of which I am a part

and I have a testimony in is sending potentially harmful messaging towards women about this

same topic.

That's a good one.

Yeah.

So do you need to reconcile that? That's a good one. Yeah. So do you need to reconcile that? That's a good question. I feel like I do in some, I mean, just as far as so the other day, it was actually funny because I came across, I'm sure you've seen it in the, it was on the app, but it's like in the handbook, a section about women working outside of the home.

And it talked about how it leads to divorce and all of these things that that I felt like were a little bit hurtful.

And I was kind of internalizing it. And then later that day on Instagram or maybe the next day, I was talking about motherhood as a relationship.

And I just have, my heart goes out to these
