Summary

Podcaster, homemaker, and mom Leslie Burris joins Blake to talk about the power of maintaining peace as a mom, especially in a culture filled with anxiety, judgment, and polarized views. She shares her personal journey of moving from perfectionism and fear-driven living to embracing grace, flexibility, and emotional resilience. The conversation dives into topics like homeschooling, mental health, the "crunchy mom" movement, and the pressure of parenting in the digital age.
