Some of my worst homeschooling days have been the ones where I have lost my peace over every little thing. Like repeating myself for the nth time, being interrupted left and ride, and feeling like we were never going to finish an entire day's plan within one school day.

And in today's episode of the Happy, Holy Mama Podcast, I share with you the one thing that shifted everything for me and my family...and how you can do it, too, today.   Grab your earbuds and join me for: How to Turn a Rotten Homeschool Day into a Beautiful Memory.

What do we do, when we cry out to God and it seems we don't hear Him answer? In the last sermon of our Big Family guest speaker series Pastor Chris Rich from Mercy Fellowship in Marysville leads us in a time through Psalm 77 as we reflect on Gods truth in the midst of our human suffering.

Jam Packed Episode for you today, as Zach shares some powerful takeaways from the Armed Media Conference you'll want to hear! We touch on divine connections we made, reveal some YouTube gems we learned, and unpack the nuggets of wisdom from our favorite speakers. God's favor was on us and I Like Birds was put on the big screen!

As we continue our Big Family guest speaker series, Jimmy Reed Area Director of Young Life encourages us to ask: where is Jesus calling you into healing? In this sermon, we discover the compassion that Jesus led with when a leper risked it all to approach Jesus and ask for healing. When we come to Jesus we can receive his healing, life, and wholeness.

In this episode, Dialogue Doctor Coach Laura Humm sits down with new author Dixie Williams to look at a scene Dixie has written. They talk about writing well known family tropes, making sure the reader knows who is in the scene so the reader can imagine the scene, orienting family relationships at the opening of the scene so we understand the family's dynamic, and paying attention to the family dynamics when creating flash backs.

75 family members, 1 beach house? Yes.

Elaine Duncan, Hoffman Process graduate, and strategy and development consultant, shares her touching story about growing up in a family with numerous adopted siblings. She came to the Process over a decade ago. One thing Elaine remembers and cherishes about the Process is the copious amount of laughter she experienced and the feeling of deep connection, laughter, and joy. Elaine was the only child in her nuclear family until her parents adopted their second child, a boy younger than Elaine. Elaine's mother was a social worker who believed deeply in the need for and benefits of international adoption. Living her values, she adopted many children from around the world. While the home was full of children, with both parents often gone, Elaine eventually came to feel adrift in her own home. She eventually found solace in her relationship with her grandmother. When children are adopted, they have to find their way to a sense of belonging. But what is it like to be the only biological child, the oldest, and then bounce around in the middle position over time because so many siblings join the family? While Elaine wasn't adopted, she and her life to come were deeply affected by adoption. Listen in as Elaine shares how many children her mother (through two marriages) adopted and the deeper lessons Elaine learned. Elaine speaks of being a connecter in her life. She draws people to her and creates community wherever she goes. As she tells us, she has found it to be a sense of community that has always saved her. Unsurprisingly, Elaine has recommended the Hoffman Process to numerous people over the ten-years-plus since she completed the Process. We hope you enjoy this heartwarming and connecting conversation with Elaine and Drew. More about Elaine Duncan: Elaine Duncan is a strategy and development consultant inspired by nature, healing the planet, and regenerative practices. She is writing a memoir on growing up as the only biological child in a large multicultural family. Elaine and her husband, David, live in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado with their Brittany, Shilo.
