Grace, Grace, God's Grace.  ♫ You've sang it,

Hey Friend, Have you ever stood at the base of a “hill” in motherhood (or any season of life, for that matter)—exhausted, overwhelmed, unsure if you could make it one more step?

Hey Marvelous Mom, Let's get real—friendship in this season of life can feel risky. Vulnerable. Like one more thing on a very long to-do list. But deep down? You know your heart longs for more than group texts and polite small talk at the pickup line. You want soul-satisfying friendships—the kind where someone shows up with soup, not just emojis. The kind where you feel safe being your whole self. The kind that takes time, courage, and some serious chocolate. In this final episode of our Flourish in Friendship series, we're diving into the “how” behind cultivating authentic, lasting friendships. I'll walk you through: ✨ Why authenticity is a risk worth taking ✨ The neuroscience behind why vulnerability builds closeness ✨ A few simple, brave questions that can deepen any relationship ✨ And why friendship is a Kingdom calling, not just a social luxury This one's full of real-life encouragement, Scripture, and gentle next steps—plus a FREE downloadable set of Appreciation Prompts to help you deepen your current friendships. Friend, you're not behind. You're not too much. And you're not alone. Let's build the kind of friendships we were made for.   DOWNLOAD THE FREE FRIENDSHIP CIRCLES MAPPING GUIDE 

Hey Marvelous Mom,

Have you ever felt lonely even though you're constantly surrounded by people? Me too. For years, I was leading, mentoring, and showing up for everyone around me—yet my heart felt hollow. It wasn't until I mapped out my friendships and recognized the shift in my closest circle that I finally understood what was missing. In this episode of the Mom2Mom Mentoring Podcast, we're diving into the four friendship circles and why identifying who's in which circle is crucial for your emotional and spiritual well-being. I'm sharing a deeply personal story about my long-time friend Ann—a friendship that once anchored my heart—and how not paying attention to that shift left me feeling empty. You'll learn: Why friendships naturally shift (and that's okay) How to recognize when someone has moved circles What to do when your “Core” is missing How to begin rebuilding sisterhood that truly sustains Grab your FREE Friendship Circle Mapping Guide —it's a powerful tool to help you reflect, recalibrate, and reconnect. Let's get honest about what you need—and take those brave steps toward deeper friendships.  

ARE YOU READY TO EXPLORE FRIENDSHIP JESUS STYLE?  Well hold on to all those mom hats, you might need them as you get ready to explore scripture and discover who Jesus is as your first and forever friend. Our friend Marnie Collier gives us a first hand understanding of what friendship with Jesus has meant to her life.  Then join me, Misty, as we put on our swim gear for a deep dive into the Word to understand how Jesus models friendship to us and how He meets us not as a distant deity, but as a faithful, intimate friend. Explore what Scripture teaches us about Jesus' role as our friend, and how His model of presence, sacrifice, and love can transform the way we approach connection with others. Whether you're feeling forgotten or simply longing for friendships that reach deeper than surface level—this episode reminds you of the ultimate truth: You are never alone. You are deeply loved. And friendship begins with Him.

Dear Marvelous Mom, ᯓ

Hey Marvelous Mom, Welcome to Episode 1 of the Flourish in Friendship series! In this heartfelt and honest conversation, I am joined by my longtime friend and ministry partner, Marnie Collier. Join two friends as we talk about the ins and outs of what makes friendship last through decades of transition, heartache, healing, and HOPE.  Together, we share how our 20+ year friendship has navigated everything from ministry burnout to seasons of silence—and how Jesus became the glue that held it all together. This episode explores:

Hey Mom,  ✅ You're praying. ✅ You're serving. ✅ You're trying to be strong. But beneath the surface, the emotions are piling up—and no one's ever told you what to do with them. In this raw and real episode, I sit down with Tiffany Kim, mom of three and founder of My Play Café, to talk about why therapy was a game-changer in her journey of faith, marriage, and motherhood. Together, we dive into the stigma around mental health in the church, how therapy and coaching work together, and why Christian moms need more than just encouragement—they need tools for emotional healing. This conversation is full of grace, laughter, truth, and practical wisdom for the mom who's tired of pretending she's fine.  

Dear Beautiful Mama, Have you ever found yourself so tired you can't even think straight? You're doing everything—holding your family together, chasing after purpose, pouring out love—but inside, you're running on empty. You love Jesus, but lately… He feels far away. And you're wondering, “Where are You, Lord? Don't You see me?” I get it. I've been there too. And that's exactly why I created this episode of the Mom2Mom Mentoring Podcast. In this deeply personal episode, I share my own story of spiritual depletion—how I came to the end of myself and cried out for Jesus. But this isn't just about me. It's about you, too. It's about all of us moms who are juggling carpool, calling, and career while silently whispering, “I can't keep doing this.” We'll walk through Song of Solomon chapter 1—a surprising place to find hope—and unpack how Jesus meets us in our mess with tenderness and truth. You'll hear about a woman who felt burned out, ashamed, and unseen... and how Jesus called her “Most beautiful one.” He didn't shame her. He guided her. Gently. Here's what you'll walk away with: ✨ 3 deeply biblical steps to reconnect with Jesus when you feel lost ✨ A powerful analogy about “pasturing your young goats” that will give you food for thought in the place of parenting ✨ Permission to be honest about your weariness ✨ The reminder that God is not pushing you—He's wooing you So mama, if you've gone quiet in your spirit… if you've forgotten how to hear His voice… or if you're barely holding on—this episode is for you.

Hey Marvelous Mom, You're doing all the right things—you're talking, showing up, trying to be present—but something still feels off in your marriage. You're not yelling or fighting, but you feel distant. Disconnected. Maybe even invisible. I see you. More importantly—God sees you. In today's episode of Mom2Mom Mentoring, I'm inviting you into a conversation that goes beneath the surface of communication and gets to the real issue in so many Christian marriages: emotional disconnection. I'll share part of my own story—how I went from being a confident communicator to feeling like I had no voice in my own marriage—and what helped me find my way back to connection. You'll learn: ✨ Why talking more isn't always the solution ✨ The 3 core needs behind true connection (A.R.E.) ✨ 4 practical, grace-filled steps to help you reconnect ✨ A powerful question to ask yourself every single day Plus, I'll walk you through a simple, healing reflection you can do in just 60 seconds—and give you a free resource to support your emotional and spiritual growth.

Mother's Day isn't all flowers and breakfast in bed—especially for the busy, faithful, Kingdom-minded mom who's quietly carrying disappointment behind her smile. In this raw and hope-filled episode, Misty shares her personal journey of navigating the emotional rollercoaster of Mother's Day over nearly 40 years of motherhood. From early joy to later resentment, from unmet expectations to a powerful encounter with God's truth—this episode speaks to the mom who feels unseen, uncelebrated, or just plain tired. If you've ever whispered, “Is it too much to want to feel appreciated?”—this conversation is for you. Misty opens up about the transformation that happened when she stopped tying her worth as a mom to her children's responses, and started anchoring her identity in what God says about her.

Taste and see that the LORD is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him! Psalm 34:8 NLT ♡ Are you running on empty,

Ok Mom,

Are your mornings chaotic? Do you feel like you're constantly repeating yourself—"Brush your teeth! Pack your bag! Where are your shoes?"—only to start each day stressed and overwhelmed?

Katie shares how simple morning and evening routines, chore charts, and small daily rhythms have brought peace and structure to her busy home. Here's what you'll learn in today's episode: ✅ The mindset shift that helps moms embrace structure without feeling trapped ✅ How a simple morning routine system transformed her family's daily flow ✅ The difference between true rest and just taking a break (this will change how you recharge!) ✅ How to set up a chore chart system that actually works—without the nagging ✅ Practical steps to start implementing rhythms that bring peace into your home

Beloved Kingdom-Minded Momma, Have you ever heard yourself say, "I just need more CONFIDENCE?"  Do you wish God would have given you an extra portion of confidence?                                                                                                                                                                            Well, my Mom Mentor friend Kimberly Wright has something to say about that and you are going to want to lean into her wisdom and insight.  Growing up in a toxic home, Kimberly had some choices to make as an adult and raising her own children. Her grandma gave her the best advice, wisdom that carried HOPE:   "You have two chances to have a family in your life. The one you're born into and the one you create. So you get to create the family you want.  And that was just the richest advice."  So Kimberly set out on a journey to create a family that thrived.  In this powerful episode, Kimberly Wright—a National Mother of the Year (wait until you hear THIS story) , author, speaker, and leadership mentor—and I talk about what it really takes to thrive as a busy Christian working mom.

Oh Marvelous Mom, Loss is inevitable, whether it's the loss of a loved one, a dream, a job, or even a relationship. But many of us don't know how to grieve or give ourselves permission to do so.  

It's a scary question to ask.  But in today's episode, we go there together. This question might stir some mixed feelings, but hang with me ✨ Marvelous Mom ✨.   How do you stay focused on your version of success, especially when your kids are young and your work hours are few? ⏳   That's a hard one, for sure, and as your faithful, tried-and-true Mom Mentor, I have a story to share.
