I don’t know about you, but how I rate myself in the “mom department” varies greatly day by day, minute by minute. A wave of feeling pretty awesome can be quickly followed by feelings of failure. When I’m at a low point, it is nice to call a mom with older children and get encouragement, perspective and wisdom. Because sometimes my feelings are based on a true problem and I need a little guidance on how to approach my boys differently. Sometimes my feelings are based on lies and I need a little truth-telling to get my eyes refocused. For today’s podcast I’ve invited Leslie Johnson (SurseeGal.com) back for a group pep talk. Leslie is the lovely mom to four grown boys. She speaks life and truth. I’m so thankful for her consistent investment in my mothering. I wanted y’all to listen in on one of our typical conversations. Get a taste of what a phone call would sound like (except in this case we know you are listening and may even refer to you as “listeners”…besides that). And just like a real phone call with Leslie, I’m all over the board asking a variety of questions. Today we cover three main topics (with the occasional rabbit trail…):
Show Notes:
Leslie’s suggested read-aloud books *:

It’s a place for moms to gather and know they are not alone and for strategies to change habits, be encouraged, etc. Within the first 24 hours of launching, 1,000 moms had signed up. You are not alone. You can find me there! Also, last week September McCarthy wrote a couple of great posts on the topic of anger. Find them here: If you could talk to Leslie on the phone, what would you ask her?(may even be used on a future podcast. . . wink wink). |

God kinda rocks my world. In a good way. Here’s where I get bossy . . . –> Do. not. miss. today’s podcast seriously. To back up a second. . . I first met Julie in college. We weren’t besties, but at a small Christian school, ya kinda “know” everyone. Especially since we graduated the same year and had a common friend. Fast forward to last November (2013) when I saw Julie’s face in my Instagram feed and I asked the question, “Did you go to Taylor University?” That simple comment was one stone in the path God took Julie, releasing her from the spiritual desert she found herself. Only God. In this episode listen to:
