Summary

Hey hey! Healthy good friendships are so important in a mother’s life and their children's lives. Today’s show is a special one, featuring the friendship chapter from my newest book, Remaining You While Raising Them: The Secret Art of Confident Motherhood. The research kept showing that the right friendships were important in a mother’s life. Studies even showed that children in their developing years had better levels of child development if their moms had a good two or three friends for support systems and great socialization. So this is not something we have the luxury to ignore. I wrote Remaining You While Raising Them to help women find freedom from the heavy weight of modern motherhood. I can’t give you a step-by-step plan to raise perfect children (an impossible dream!), but I can help you thrive as a happier, healthier mom, and friendship is a big part of that. Listen in on these audio chapters to hear: Green and red flags to watch for in friendships The power of friendship in our lives How to use social media to actually make us feel better 3 habits for healthy friendships Favorite quotes: “Those little dreams that God plants in our hearts that seem impossible over time when we keep taking little steps with that power of 1%, we can reach our dreams.” “Friendships make us happier than any other kind of relationship.” “Mom friendships benefit our kids. We’ve seen over and over that investing in our emotional health helps our children grow to be better adjusted, have healthier relationships, and be more successful in life.” “Social media can be a valuable tool for helping us feel connected, but it also has the capacity to make us feel lonelier if we don’t use it intentionally to build connections.” “Healthy, loving friendships are a gift from God. They are a key part of a happier life and a healthier mindset.” “Friendships that are flexible, fun, and fulfilling are one of the best gifts you can give to yourself and your children.” Coaching this week: The Info Diet (43:25) Links to great things we discussed: The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar Bless God - Brooke Ligertwood Order your copy of Remaining You While Raising Them here.
