Find the Good Mamahood

Friends, did you know that November is Foster Care and Adoption Awareness Month and National Adoption Month? A couple years ago I didn't know anything about these, or November's annual Stand Sunday observed by many American churches either. Honestly, I didn't know much about foster care at all. All that changed when several of my friends became foster parents, and I have been on a journey to learn more and support this community ever since. Listen in as I learn from my friend Mandi, a foster and adoptive mom who now works to support foster and adoptive families through an organization called Foster the Family. I can't wait for you to hear about the beauty and hardship weaved into foster care and Mandi's deep compassion and wisdom. Here are some highlights: foster care 101, Mandi's experiences with 18 foster children and 4 adoptions, relationships with foster kids' biological families, and ways you can support and join the foster care community. Mamas, you and I have a unique light to bring to the world to our children and also to other children around us. Some of them may come into our homes for a time or even stay forever. I invite you to think of the children and parents in the foster care world and consider, "How can I share this light that I have with others?" Extra Stuff: TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Intervention) is a “training method which offers a way to build attachment as you parent kids from hard places.” Learn more here: Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development⁠.

Happy holidays, friends! You're going to absolutely love this episode featuring my talk with a special family friend of mine, Mary O'Donnell. Mary's daughter is actually a good friend of mine who has inherited her gift for making people feel at home. I absolutely loved being at their house when I was younger, and counted it as a second home. And I wasn't alone - dozens of people from different ages and stages found refuge and even a long-term home with Mary and her family. Listen in as we discuss Mary's international upbringing, how the art of welcome became a major part of her life, stories from her famously full house, and essential elements to communicating genuine care to the people who enter your life and your threshold. I know I'll be reflecting on this conversation for a while to come. It's easy to let excuses like not having the perfect home or the perfect time prevent us from inviting others in, but often that's not where we start. I hope this episode encourages you (as it has for me!) to invite others into wherever you are and to share whatever you have this holiday season and new year. As Mary said, "It was all worth it; it was all wonderful because we were sowing care into different people's lives." Extra Stuff: This is my church's sermon series on the early Christian church's culture of deep care and connection which I highly recommend: https://www.newcityfellowship.net/sermonlist/tag/Acts Check out Rachel's personal Instagram account to watch her in-depth IVF journey highlight and to connect with her: @ralzajohnson.

Welcome to episode #23 where my friend Rachel shares with us her deeply trying mama journey, one of infertility and in vitro fertilization (IVF). *Trigger warning: Our conversation does include the IVF process and miscarriage.* After giving a great IVF 101, Rachel shares the physical and emotional difficulties she faced along the way. I appreciated hearing what was helpful and unhelpful for her, from resources to interactions with friends and family to Bible verses. As an outsider to the world of IVF, I got a glimpse of what it's like to go through infertility and how we can come alongside loved ones who are in the process of receiving fertility treatments. It is an honor to be able to share Rachel's (and little Mylo's!) story with you. (Note: Occasional shrieks and squawks courtesy of Lyla, my almost 1-year old baby girl who co-hosted her first episode with me!)

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

This episode is near and dear to my heart since the topic is a huge part of our family and one of my major focuses as a mom: fostering bilingualism in our children! My friend Kaila is both an expert in this field and also a fellow mama raising a bilingual child. She shares some incredibly helpful advice, stories and frameworks to guide and inspire you in your journeys. Although we reference raising bilingual Spanish-English-speaking kids specifically, we also discuss many super helpful strategies and tidbits that apply to any bilingual family. I loved learning lots of ways we can cultivate a love for our target languages in our kids: "Link it to things that are fun: play and people." While it is ultimately their choice to embrace it or not, we can lay a foundation and show them how the language is beautiful, meaningful and worth embracing. Kaila reminded us there are many family language plans, even more than you typically find online. You can customize a language plan that's just right for your family “that is attainable and sustainable.” Each family is unique, so don't compare your bilingual journey to others. Any bilingual exposure you can give your little ones is a gift! This episode is packed with top-notch content, so here are some time markers to guide you as you listen: * 1:37 - Kaila's bio * 11:30 - linking language learning to fun * 15:15 - the importance of how we present target language (not shaming or forcing them) * 18:08 - the evolution of my family's Family Language Plan * 20:50 - strategies for encouraging kids to respond back in target language (not just listening and understanding) * 33:29 - tips for parents starting a bilingual journey * 36:56 - what to do if kids become indifferent or resistant to target language * 38:23 - the danger of shaming and the power of positive feedback * 41:51 - how to introduce early academic concepts * 43:05 - the importance of teaching safety terms in majority language * 46:22 - mention of several of the resources listed below * 47:31 - encouragement for bilingual parents Extra Stuff: Here is Kaila's podcast (a great place to start, especially if you're new to this topic!): Bilingual Parenting Podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bilingual-parenting-podcast/id1456193421) You can find Kaila's company, Bilingüitos, at @bilinguitos on Instagram or the following website link for Spanish language immersion programs, playgroups, and online resources: https://bilinguitos.com/ This is Kaila's freebie!

Wow, I am so grateful to be sharing my conversation with my friend (and former landlord!) Stacey about parenting teens. Yep, she confirms those years can often be tough and trying. But she also shares the beauty that can be found in this raw and real stage of kids' lives and some rock solid practical advice on walking with them as they grow in independence. I'll share some bytes to summarize and also whet your listener's appetite: Take a long-term view especially in hard seasons. Listen often. Keep lines of communication open even through conflicts. "You have to take the initiative sometimes… I think that's our job as parents, to be the one that takes the initiative.” Show interest in their interests. Share your struggles and what you're learning. “Normalize the fact that we all go through difficult things… but you're never going to be alone, we'll always be here for you.” Have a battle plan to prepare them for the worlds of technology and social media. Reinforce your love even when they push you away. “There will always be a safe place for them to come.” Extra Stuff: Here is my podcast episode I mentioned about creating family traditions: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/episode/5n2bik0GcUKltMR6CAvWw1?si=c319bbf12f0a40af These are the Bible verses Stacey shared on the topics of persistently asking God for help and waiting for change to come: Luke 18:1-8, Lamentations 3:26.

I know Valentine's Day has passed, but I've still got love on the brain. I've been thinking about ways to bless my husband, how to get creative with limited time for date nights, and the like. Maybe you are too. Sometimes it's easier to focus on the kids and connecting with our significant other can end up by the wayside and we can drift apart. This episode features my conversation with my friend Chelsea Klotz about caring for your spouse and working through co-parenting and conflict (which often go hand in hand). She and her husband Will have been married for 13 years and they actually counseled Diego and me before we got married, so believe me when I saw she's got some gold to share. And if you're listening and your life looks very different than ours, I'd encourage you to listen anyway and consider the things we touch on: conflict, prioritizing a committed relationship, and finding joy in everyday life. I appreciated the stories Chelsea shared of marriage struggles through different seasons of their family and great ideas for connecting with your person in busy times. As a sneak peek, here are a few of my top takeaways: "You can always go on a walk", "What's one small thing I can do today to love my spouse?", fight for date nights as often as you can, and push yourself to stay connected and keep the conversation going when conflict makes you want to pull away. Extra Stuff: This is the first in the 4-part podcast series Chelsea shared on choosing what type of school is best for them: https://www.risenmotherhood.com/podcast-episodes/ep-93-how-should-we-educate-our-children-the-case-for-freedom-part-1?rq=freedom%20in%20education These are the Bible verses she referenced about patience, forgiveness, and hope in relational conflict: Proverbs 19:11, Revelation 21:23. Here are the marriage books she recommended: This Momentary Marriage: A Parable of Permanence (John Piper) When Sinners Say I Do: Discovering the Power of the Gospel for Marriage (Dave Harvey) The Meaning of Marriage: Facing the Complexities of Commitment with the Wisdom of God (Tim Keller) You and Me Forever: Marriage in Light of Eternity (Francis & Lisa Chan)

For the first full episode of 2023, I am thrilled to present a super fun and enlightening conversation on the topic of creating meaningful family traditions! My friend Taye and her husband Dave have created a whole year-round ensemble of unique celebrations for them and their 4 kids, so she's basically a pro. Trust me, you're gonna wanna hear about the spectacular fun they get up to together. Taye also shared some awesome ideas and encouragement for getting started, like taking a look at what you're already doing during family time together and considering how you could enhance it. That way your tradition goals don't become burdensome or unattainable and you don't get caught up in the mom comparison game we can all drift into. One of my favorite things she said makes a great mantra for how to love our kids well on both special and unspecial days: simply be faithful with what and who is in front of you right now. I am so excited for all of the opportunities you and I will have this upcoming year to celebrate the good with our people. Let's get partying! Extra Stuff: My tip was to use Mixbook to create yearly calendars that double as Christmas gifts and/or family scrapbooks! They often have special deals, so be sure to check their website or emails when you can: https://www.mixbook.com/photo-calendars.

In this episode, my friend and neighbor Allison Keeler joined me to talk about the major and often scary transition from 1 to 2 kids. This conversation was especially exciting because my own family is growing - we are expecting a baby girl at the beginning of November! I really enjoyed hearing about Allison's journey into the world of having 2 little ones and everything she has learned so far. She shares about the best and worst moments she's seen so far and life lessons she's learned along the way. You'll also hear about the strategies she used to prepare her toddler emotionally and practically for the arrival of a younger sibling. If you are one of those mamas currently in the transition to 2, we are with you and we are cheering you on. Just like any other mamahood transition, remember to give yourself grace and celebrate all the victories - even the little ones! Extra Stuff: Allison recommends the "Oh Crap! Potty Training" book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Oh-Crap!-Potty-Training/Jamie-Glowacki/Oh-Crap-Parenting/9781501122989.

I had such a fun conversation with my cousin Amanda Tucker all about her journey to becoming an artist and how she makes time to create while being a mama to two littles! Tune in to hear how she got her business off the ground and how she finds ways to involve her kids in her art. You'll also hear about her favorite paintings, the stories behind them, and what they mean to her and her clients. I loved hearing Amanda's passion for making meaningful art that inspires, communicates and connects, especially the beautiful pieces in her mama series. Her colorful artwork celebrates the strength of women and portrays their varied stages and experiences, including pregnancy, post-partum challenges, caring for children, and loss. This nugget gives you a great preview of the insights and encouragement she shared: “Sometimes art will make us uncomfortable and sometimes it'll get us talking, but at the end of the day it's connecting us, so do it!” We hope you listen in on our fascinating chat about the intersection of mamahood and art.

Did you (like me) acquire aches and pains in unexpected places after becoming a mama? Have you wondered how to take care of your body when your kids often require so much of you physically? If this sounds like you, you're going to love listening in on my recent conversation with my physical therapist friend Ashley Marsh. Her heart for helping with physical care and repair was apparent in every topic we touched: her journey to becoming a children's PT, how she enjoys bringing what she learns into her family's daily lives, how mom's bodies change and how we can care for them through pregnancy to post-partum and beyond. I also loved hearing the super helpful strategies, resources and products she shared - you bet I took crazy notes! Again and again came the much-needed reminder that taking care of ourselves is crucial to our ability to take care of our little ones as best as we can.

It may not be spring quite yet around here, but spring cleaning and purging is in the air for me and some of my friends. In this episode, my friend Stephanie Taylor shares about her family's journey into a minimalistic lifestyle over the past few years - going from an average-sized living space to one half as small! It's an adventure story you don't want to miss. One of my favorite quotes that anchored our chat is from author Joshua Becker, who defines minimalism as "the intentional promotion of things we most value and the removal of anything that distracts us from them." From tips to get started to finding your motivation to making hard lifestyle changes as a family, you'll find oodles of solid food for thought on living simply in this episode. I loved soaking up all the wisdom Stephanie has learned, especially how to avoid the many distractions from living a purposeful and peaceful life and how to model minimalist habits for our children.

It's 2022, mamas!! I hope your year is off to a good start for you and your families. For the first episode of this new year, I wanted to bring my friend Sam Gambale on to talk about keeping romance alive when you are also a busy mom. I know this sounds like an impossible task - I often wonder how in the world we moms can find time to focus on our significant others with little voices clamoring for our attention and care. I just knew I had to snag Sam for this conversation. Sam is a super fun and hard-working mama to 5 kids whose husband travels often for work. Despite all the busyness, she and her husband have a sweet, rich relationship that you can see from a mile away - the smiles on their faces when they're together say it all. During our chat Sam shared about their love story, the toughest times of their marriage, how she stays connected to her man while he's away on work trips, and some awesome practical tips that have helped strengthen her marriage for the long haul. This is good stuff, guys! Give it a listen and pass it on to a friend if you enjoyed it. Extra Stuff: Here is the book Sam is currently reading: "The Flirtation Experiment: Putting Magic, Mystery, and Spark Into Your Everyday Marriage" by Lisa Jacobson and Phylicia Masonheimer.

Welcome to Episode 10! This one features my friend Jessica Long and her experience going through not 1, but 2 extended hospital stays when her children were very young and had some scary medical challenges. I am so grateful she was willing to share honest stories of what it was like navigating the unknowns and the unexpected on her kids' journeys toward health. Being a mom can often mean painful waiting and unanswered questions and frustrating setbacks as you try to care for your babies. It's not pretty and no one would ask for it. But somehow it's a part of our stories and I believe there is a greater purpose for it. Whatever you're going through, mama, you're not alone - just like Jessica wasn't - and painful seasons won't last forever. I hope our conversation brings you hope and a glimpse of the brighter days to come.

Hellooo back-to-school season!

Shout out to all the teachers out there for showing up day after day, giving their best, and making something sweet and full of hope out of the lemons they and their students received during the pandemic. Cheers to a relaxing, life-giving and restorative summer break for you and yours! Note: I meant to say “summer break” at the beginning, not “spring break”! But you probably know what I meant. :)

I brought on my friend and former coworker Ashley to share about her experience working from home full-time with a baby for the first time ever. I can so relate to her stories and all the feelings - so many feelings! - that come with juggling the two demanding jobs of mother and employee. The stress of remote work, the isolation and anxiety in the COVID health crisis, and the exhaustion from taking care of a young baby are real and heavy. But we still found opportunities to laugh and talk about things that help, like setting work/life boundaries and getting outside when we can. Hope this brings some sunshine to your day and gives you a boost to keep hussling! You're a boss, mama.

I am so excited to share with you my conversation with my sweet friend Katie Murray about home birth!
