Today’s episode I’m really excited to share with you books that have changed my life in this last season. God has always spoken to me through writing, my own and others. Books have been really influential for me, and I think that we can glean and learn a lot from other authors and what they have been through and things they have learned.
Everything is linked below, you can purchase these books or pick them up at your local library.
I’m excited to introduce you all to one of my very dear friends; Candace Hershberger. We met a few years ago at a moms group and our friendship has grown over the years and I truly treasure her friendship. Candace and her husband are walking a journey through cancer. Her husband Jon was diagnosed with cancer 6 years ago. I’ve had a front row seat to watching them walk out their vows of “sickness and health” as they navigate this disease and share with all of us the joy that can come in the trials.
A little bit more about Candace;
Married 11 years this September, 2 girls ages 9 and 7, one boy age 5. Walking through cancer with my husband for 6 years this month. I am a work from home mama and love to connect with others though moms groups and events.
Connect with Candace on Instagram here.

Today I’m sharing with you something honest and vulnerable. I’m preaching to myself today mostly, and hoping that by sharing where I am at with this subject it will be encouraging for you as well. Maybe you are in a weird stage with the phone as well. Maybe you’ve felt some of these same feelings I have. Well you are not alone.
The internet and social media it can be such a connector of community.
But it can also be the thing that can get distracting if we aren’t keep our hearts and motives in check too.
When my kids started calling out my phone usage from time to time I knew I needed to find a better priority in when I was using my phone and when I was setting it aside. In today’s episode of the podcast we’re chatting about just that.
Give it a listen. Let me know in the comments below where you’re at on the subject. Are you struggling too?

My journey to motherhood was non traditional, as was our journey to parenthood. For a long time we didn’t know if we’d be parents or conceive naturally. We spent over a year dealing with infertility. I spent my teen years and early 20’s dealing with irregular cycles. It wasn’t until we were trying for over seven months that my OBGYN finally diagnosed me with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) I finally had some answers and a way to move forward.
Today’s episode is deeply personal, as I never have really sat down and have shared our story with many people. At the time when we were going through this we didn’t know anyone else who was dealing with similar issues, it felt very isolating and I felt very shameful.
I pray this episode is both encouraging and helpful. If you’re struggling today, I encourage you to share your story. Don’t believe the lie that it doesn’t matter. It so does.
