I was the new girl, I’m so glad I sat next to her that day. Adriane and I chat about the family meeting and why it’s important and why you should do it. She also tells us all about emotional regulation and the benefits to it. I know you’re going to enjoy this episode, go give Adriane a follow if you aren’t already.

EP 36: Three Things that Are Helping Me Find Freedom in Mothering Right Now!

There are so many seasons of mothering- there’s the newborn stage, toddler hood, school age, there’s sleepless nights and tired days. There’s joy watching your kids grow from stage to stage. Navigating it all can be trial and error sometimes but I wouldn’t trade it. It’s one of my greatest joys. Today on the #flourishtogetherpodcast I’m sharing 3 things that are helping me find freedom in my mothering right now! I hope you’ll give it a listen, and even if you aren’t in the same stage I am right now you’ll find some encouragement for now or to tuck away for later.

The takeaways:

1. Date your kids

   I love taking my kids in special dates. It’s something we started a few years ago and it’s becoming something they look forward to.

2. Putting my phone away

We chatted about this in EP 21- you can listen to it here.

1. Reminding myself that the season I am in is mine alone, giving grace and understanding to others.

   My season of mothering is going to look different than yours, it just is and that’s ok. Let’s not compare each other and our seasons, when there are so many different variables we don’t know about others’ lives. Rest in your own season that God has uniquely planted you in.
