Home schooling mom of 10, podcaster, author of 2 beloved books and pickleball champion.  One of the things I love about Abbie is that she is vocal about her how much she loves spending time with her teens. Like me, she really enjoys the teen years and has made it a bit of her personal mission to remind the mamas with littles that the goodness doesn't stop the moment their kids hit puberty. So in this episode Abbie and I talk about all things having teens. We talk about parenting with expectant hope. That means determining that we'll love our kids through their whole life, not just when they are cute and cuddly babies. We discuss ways to connect with our teens and how that starts by enjoying being with our kids when they are little and then continuing that as they grow. One of the things our kids will face as they grow up, and especially in the teen years is exposure to pornography. Abbie and I talk about how we can prepare our kids for growing up in a porn saturated world and also share with them about God's good plan for sex. This part of our conversation was really helpful and honestly so powerful. I just know you'll get a lot from it!

5 years ago I had radically been changed by the experience of a redemptive and healing homebirth and I knew that my story would help others. I also knew that others had stories to share that needed to be heard. A huge part of my preparation was listening to positive stories so I wanted to created a platform where Jesus followers could come and hear birth stories full of miracles, answered prayers and fill them with hope that if it can happen for one woman it can happen for her too!   I have had some amazing guests on from Dr. Sarah Buckley, Dr Stu, Abbie Halberstadt, Hannah Crews, Chelsi Jo, Bethany Beal and over 100 other amazing women who shared their birth story with us. This has been quite the journey and I can't wait to see where the next 5 years brings us.   In today's episode I'm going to go over the TOP 5 episodes and pull the lessons I've learned out of them!   Top 5: #5 Ep 52//She Produces Life with Bethany Beal #4 Ep 168//First Time Mom Homebirth Story | This was All I knew with Olivia White #3 Ep 68//Maternal Physiological Changes that Lead to a Functional Labor Experience and the Importance of Nutrition with Dr. Sarah Thompson #2 69 The Medical System: Helping or Harming Women with Dr. Stu  Fischbein, MD #1 70 Bailey's Birth Story- Becoming Empowered and Confident About Your Birth   Connect with Aly: IG- @peacefulhomebirth Join the "Coping with Contractions" Training March 11th at 1pm CST-

With so much confusion on the best way to raise our children well, I brought together two passionate and expert voices in the parenting sphere to help clear the mud.

God, take this away—I'm ready for the good! I'm ready for the blessing"?

Join Abbie Halberstadt, best-selling author of M is for Mama and now with her new release, Hard is Not the same Thing as Bad, and I to trade this lie for the truth that even in the hard, God is good and has good and it can be good.

 Anxiety and depression are rampant in our culture today, particularly among the rising generation. But while life can be hard, it's critical not to think of things that are difficult as necessarily being bad. That's just some of the wisdom author and mommy blogger Abbie Halberstadt shares with Dr. Jeff Myers, unpacking the truths from her book, Hard Is Not the Same Thing as Bad. Halberstadt, a homeschooling mom to 11 children, including two sets of twins, explains the importance of not letting our emotions rule our behavior in any pursuit, from raising kids, to going to school, to doing our jobs. When we lean into God during times that challenge us, we find wisdom, courage, and peace.

We don't care who you are, this is a nonskip episode. Especially if you are a mom. We had our dear friend Abbie on the show. We are obsessed with her worldview and mission. This woman brings it today.  We cover the topic of motherhood, specifically the culture that loves to have comradery and community over that motherhood is hard. Think mommy wine culture. Abbie is here to set the record straight and come at it from a Holy, Biblical view.  --------------------------------- Show notes: https://theheartuniversity.com/364-challenging-the-culture-of-mediocre-motherhood-with-abbie-halberstadt --------------------------------- Pinterest Freebie: www.theheartuniversity.com/pinterest --------------------------------- Memberful: www.memberful.com/heart Get started for free with the link above! --------------------------------- The Heart Contracts: www.theheartcontracts.com Use the link above for 10% off!  --------------------------------- Follow along with Abbie:  M is for Mama www.misformama.net Hard is Not the Same Thing as Bad  M is for Mama Podcast  www.instagram.com/m.is.for.mama --------------------------------- Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@theheartuniversitychannel?si=33lzxpBA9UxKlgTE --------------------------------- If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here. --------------------------------- PODCAST10 for 10% off anything from The Shop! www.theheartuniversity.com/shop --------------------------------- Follow along: www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity

For many of us, motherhood is anything but easy. From blowouts, to tantrums, learning difficulties, health problems, constant noise, conflict inside and outside our homes --the possibilities for us to feel like we are in an impossible season are endless. Sometimes this feeling of “hard” can feel completely overwhelming.And the truth is that some of the demands of modern parenting that feel really hard are signs that something actually is wrong.  When things are hard and overwhelming it is a good idea to wisely evaluate what is causing the "hard." But is hard always a negative thing? Or could challenging circumstances actually be a gift in disguise? In what ways has worldly thinking colored the way Christians talk about the “hard” aspects of parenting? Listen in to a helpful conversation with Abbie Halberstadt, Bible believing mom to ten and author of M is for Mama and Hard is Not the Same Thing as Bad about evaluating hard situations and allowing the Lord to refresh our mindset.

In this show, Davis interviews Abbie Halberstadt. She is a homeschooling mama of 10 and author of two books: M is for Mama and Hard is Not the Same as Bad.
