This is a podcast to encourage mamas who feel they can’t dream in the midst of the chaos. Maybe you don’t have a sitter or ever have alone time (like many of us!). Personally I walked through a season of quitting my business, book writing, and podcasting after we began homeschooling because it looked different than before. I didn't see it possible to do BOTH. It took me almost two years to stop making excuses and find ways to make dreaming work again. I know YOU are incredibly busy and juggling so many hats, but I hope see how possible doing BOTH can actually be.
