Summary
Motherhood has a way of humbling you, stretching you, and teaching you to surrender in ways you never expected. In this special Mother’s Day episode, I sat down with my two oldest daughters, Savannah and Sierra, to talk honestly about raising kids, homeschooling, marriage, identity, and the beauty of family life. We talked about the hard seasons, the joyful ones, and what happens when you stop chasing the world’s definition of success and start embracing the calling God has placed right in front of you. I think this conversation is going to encourage moms everywhere.
