Happy Mental Health Awareness!
In light of this month and time in life, hope is needed in our homes- specifically with our kids. What do they need? What do we need as parents? What are we nurturing as they grow? How do we give now with their future & the future of the world in mind? Can we both do more than just survive the process lol? These are all valid questions! Let's chat about some key foundational pillars for parenting in and out of the COVID-19 phase of life.
This episode references some great sources and tips. Want to dig in more after the show? Check out the notes, links and info below! Nosh, swill & bliss, beauties (and gents :-).

What are some ways we can nurture our kids during quarantining?
One of the ways we can nurture our kids is to get in the "change game" with them. This may look like engaging the fun and facts of COVID-19 (historical world changer), with our child. Share facts only enough to inform, but find creative ways with your children to create drama/ skits in being world leaders and /or state and community leaders to act out their thoughts and feelings. Of course, you can utilize this as teaching time, emotional time, and learning time.
There are several life lessons to learn that some things we can control and some things we cannot control. Allow your children to express their emotions, while you demonstrate expressing your emotions appropriately. Overall, nurturing our kids is in the quality time spent, memories made, and growing their faith in Jesus Christ.
Here are a couple of links for kids for the current event facts and for what it means to have faith in Jesus during this time:

Do you ever feel like you are an imposter? 🤔
Yes you! The one who has a lot of experience, advice and even expertise in a given field or hobby. It's so easy to operate in a way that says that what you have to offer others is not worth anything. We easily measure it against the ideals of others or other versions of life in our heads- all comparisons are dangerous and harmful! They easily rob us the joy of being a light and bridge for the flourishing of ourselves and others.
This episode, we bring up two key ways we operate in the imposter syndrome: pace and "repeating the expertise". There is an ease to hate our pace and despise the repetition it takes for people in our sphere of life to be moved by information. Do you really believe you are not placed where you are with what you have for a reason? Combat the lie! Click listen! Let's chat & wrestle.

💍Wives Chat: The Gift of Singleness in Marriage
What if your singleness is a gift to your marriage?
Have you ever heard that before? It is easy to dive into the self-help books or conferences that talk about how to relate to you spouse (which are helpful), but I argue cannot give you the greatest gift in your marriage.
Our singleness is one of if not the greatest gift we give to our marriages.
Our individual design, gifts, strengths, weaknesses, experiences and lessons applied and learned- they are a gift to the oneness of marriage.
And the gift isn't in the presence of these elements alone. The gift also lies in how and when they were forged. These anchors of the heart and being were embedded long before we became one with another.
We cannot forsake or diminish them. They are a gift- to ourselves and all of whom we are connected.
If you have walked with the Lord for some time, the first chapter of Genesis can be treated like the ABC song- you can sing it in your sleep and recognize it anywhere- and yet miss the fundamentals it teaches.
Until you're forced to look at it again.
Genesis opens the story of God with context for the beginning of creation and life as we know it. It also exposes the character of God in ways that we argue we have digested and mastered (for those readers who are believers). God declares Himself innovative, intentional, loving, creative and vibrant. He shows his character to be full of dignity and pleasure. He shows himself benevolent- to give to us that image in unique ways.
He then sweetly declares, "It is good".
Before we express our beautiful selves in marriage, motherhood, sisterhood- he sees us as good.
Today's episode looks at this beauty and leave us with a great challenge. Feel free to check out the LinkTree with more books, resources and other ways to connect for more on BTM and this topic.

We all have had and will have conflict- it's inevitable!
So if it's so normal, why does it seem to have solicit different responses with people? Some people treat it as "taboo" while others have their swords drawn before the war even starts. What's the right way to view this if it is so normal?
Today we will have coffee conversation with Muche Ukegbu- a local pastor in Miami and who also happens to be my husband of 12 years. Although I'm smitten with him, he offers great expertise from his clinical and pastoral background on what it means engage in conflict well. Expect some laughs and great insight. He will also leave us with a #MindfulMomentum that you could apply in your own life.

The New Normal
“What does the word normal mean now?” We have asked that question from so many vantage points that it is unnerving. But have we asked the question from the perspective of our resolve during this time of our lives- COVID or not? Have we examined what’s challenging our inner- world? Have we embraced the possibility of growing from what we find?
