Her latest book, A Fine Sight to See: Leading Because You Were Made for It, explores leadership principles from the book of Exodus, touching on the important role women played in Moses's life and the Israelites' journey to freedom.

Sophie shares insights from her journey in leadership and writing, highlighting the importance of recognizing and embracing the unique ways God has equipped each of us to lead.

Sophie Hudson is an accomplished author, a phenomenal Southern cook, and a dear friend! She shares about her new book, Grace Upon Grace, as well as her must-have Southern food staples.  Episode At A Glance: This week, Sophie Hudson joined The SavvyCast to discuss her new journaling devotional Grace Upon Grace. Sophie is an author and host of The Big Boo Cast. This book was written with older teenage girls in mind, due to Sophie's experience working with high school girls at Briarwood Christian High School. Sophie shares how to connect with young girls in a way that makes them feel safe and understood. She explains that she never goes into these relationships expecting to change the girls because that is the job of the Holy Spirit. Sophie is not only a talented writer and mentor, but is a fabulous cook! We discussed our Thanksgiving must-haves, as well as some recipes we come back to every year. Questions We Answered In This Episode: What is Sophie's new book, Grace Upon Grace, about? What inspired Sophie to write Grace Upon Grace? How do you form relationships with younger or high-school-aged girls?  As a parent, how can you create a safe space for your child? What do you have to have on your Thanksgiving table? Ouida's Squash Casserole Recipe: 10-12 medium-large squash 1 yellow onion, peeled and chopped in large chunks 1 cup chicken stock (optional) 2 Tbs. Kosher salt 2 tsp. black pepper 1 Tbs. sugar 1 stick butter, divided 4 oz. cream cheese ¾ cup sour cream 2 eggs, beaten 1 ½ grated cheese (freshly grated is best) 1 ½ cups Cheez-its, crushed Chop squash and onion. Put in Dutch oven and cover with water and chicken stock. Add salt, pepper, sugar, and 2 Tbs. of butter. Bring to a boil and then simmer about 20 minutes - until squash is fork-tender.  Preheat oven to 375. Drain cooked squash/onion in a colander and use a potato masher or spoon to mash out as much water as possible. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine squash/onion with cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and remaining butter. Mix well. Taste to adjust salt/pepper, then add beaten eggs. Pour mixture into a lightly greased 9x13 pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes (you want a tiny bit of brown around the edges), then top with crushed Cheez-its and bake for 5 more minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Their real names are Melanie Shankle and Sophie Hudson, but they've been blogging for a long time on the internet as Big Mama and BooMama. In addition to being authors and speakers, they also host the fun podcast The Big Boo Cast where they talk about all the important stuff: faith, family, friends, football, fashion, and food. Plus, of course, their hair. They join me for a mom friends episode where we talk about parenting teens, launching kids to college and letting go of mom guilt.  “If you were a bad mom, you wouldn't spend a lot of time worrying about if you were a bad mom. So the fact that you're feeling that guilt is like, you love your child, you're showing up, you're trying to do all the right things. And you just have to trust that God's grace covers the rest of it because they're going to be things you get wrong.” You won't want to miss the fun and funny Melanie and Sophie. I consider them some of my mentor moms and they offer up a lot of candid advice and wisdom for playing the “long game” of parenting.  Connect with Melanie:  Website: thebigmamablog.com    Facebook: facebook.com/melanieshankle  Instagram: @melanieshankle   Connect with Sophie:  Website:  boomama.net  Facebook: facebook.com/SophieHudsonBooMama  Instagram: @boomama205 Links Mentioned:   The Big Boo Cast   BOOK: Grace Upon Grace Journaling Devotional: Trusting God No Matter What [EP 12] The Antelope in the Living Room with Melanie Shankle [EP 58] Home is Where My People Are :: Sophie Hudson [Ep 273] Navigating Friendship :: Melanie Shankle  Featured Sponsors:  BetterHelp: Visit betterhelp.com/DMA and join the over 2,000,000 people who have taken charge of their mental health with the help of an experienced professional. Special offer for Don't Mom Alone listeners: get 10% off your first month at betterhelp.com/DMA.  Rothys: Keep it fresh this summer with washable shoes and bags from Rothy's.

Sophie Hudson and Jamie share tips and techniques for down home cooking along with quarantine favorite meals that they prepared for their families.     With the "stay at home" that left most of us in a type of quarantine for days or weeks, many of us have cooked more than ever. In fact, "home cooking" has made a resurgence. It seems that the recipes, foods, and cravings that most of us have had is for basic food. Homemade...like our mamas and grandmamas used to make:-) My stay-at-home time has involved cooking~lots of it. I have cooked more than I ever have. In the process, I've shared my love of cooking with several friends. We use the "Voxer" app to ask cooking questions, share recipes and tips, and give "grocery store updates" for which stores have certain products (as things sell out quickly). Sophie Hudson is one of the friends with whom I vox about food. I asked her to join my podcast last week just to "talk food" and share tips, recipes, and ideas for easy meals. The podcast is above, or you can listen on iTunes, Spotify or your platform of choice. For those who just want the nuts and bolts, I share them below. Salt, salt and more salt.  Probably THE most important thing we discussed was the role that salt plays in cooking. This can't be overstated. The book that I am loving right now~Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat~ goes into great detail about salt if you want to dig deeper. But below are a few of the tips that Sophie and I share from our personal experience. The salt to use is kosher salt. Sophie uses Morton. I use Diamond Crystal.  Iodized salt (aka table salt) is not the salt to use. It will make food taste metallic. Salt food in stages. Salt meat before, during and after cooking. Don't cook something then salt it~that won't work. When unloading groceries, unwrap meat and salt it before refrigerating or freezing it. I got this tip from Samin Nosrat who wrote Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat. This will make the meat more tender and flavorful. Salt and sit. Salt meat + let meat sit for 30 minutes at room temp before cooking. How to Make Buttermilk Brine Chicken the video below, I show how to salt the chicken for this fabulous buttermilk brine chicken that everyone is going crazy over right now.  Sophie and I both love this chicken, and it is the technique from Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat.   Browning ground beef: tips from Sophie At least 2 hours before browning, salt the beef well; let sit in fridge. Let beef sit at room temp for 30 minutes before putting in the skillet.  Heat skillet before adding the salted ground beef; it will form almost a crust. Sauté onions (if using) in butter or oil BEFORE adding to ground beef. Don't brown raw onion in raw beef. Quarantine cooking favorites Sophie and Jamie, both Southern cooks, share what they made the most during "Stay at Home." They also share some of their favorite easy recipes that anyone can make. Some of the favorite recipes mentioned: how to make beans and peas from dried (soaking with salt and baking soda) how we makecollards and turnips (Sophie stovetop; me Instant Pot) Sophie's ground beef stroganoff chocolate cobbler this skillet blackberry cobbler Resources related to this podcast. Sophie's blog: www.BooMama.net Sophie's instagram: @boomama205 Jan's Chocolate Cobbler is here.  Recipes for Mexican Cornbread, Chocolate Pudding and more are on Sophie's instagram in the highlight that says "cooking." I hope this podcast and these resources are helpful!! As always, thanks so much for stopping by. Be blessed, and stay savvy!!!

This week, Indiana chats with Sophie Hudson—aka “BooMama”—about raising an only child. Sophie laughs about the preconceived stereotypes she’s long-since abandoned (Surprise! Only kids can thrive in team sports!) and shares her tip for making sure a family vacation is fun for all three of them. Plus, you won't want to miss her wise words of encouragement as a mom of a teenager for moms of littles. Whether you find yourself raising an only child by choice or by circumstance, we hope you feel encouraged by this week’s conversation.

I think I can sum up this podcast nicely by telling you that we start off with a discussion about grackles and then move into a discussion about breakfast tacos. As you do. We also talk about cooking, the Downton Abbey series finale, what's in style this spring, and how some part of our personalities rebels against rigid organizational systems. There is nary a mention of mascara, our hair, or Amy Grant. We will try to do better next time.   Melanie's blog: Big Mama Sophie's blog: BooMama

Or, if you're not into calling in, you can ask questions in our chat room and we'll do our best to get some of those answered.

Now this particular podcast is what you might call a hodge-podge. There's some Terribly Awkward Editing for several different reasons, so just know that if you're in the middle of the podcast and hear an electrical surge sound effect, that just means that the topic is about to change RIGHTNOW. Or possibly that you have some serious wiring issues in your home. Anyhoo, Big Mama (http://bigmama1.com) and BooMama (http://boomama.net) cover a wide and completely random range of topics, including but not limited to their "elaborate" "fitness" routines, an update on some of their latest fashion finds and the new Bible study that BooMama's mother-in-law and her friends are doing. Even better, there's an unexpected guest appearance by Big Mama's little girl that made me BooMama laugh so hard she couldn't remember how to breathe.

This week Big Mama (http://bigmama1.com) and BooMama (http://boomama.net) tackle all manner of pressing issues: their children's Halloween costumes, how to make your hair sizzle - literally, the dilemma of using "y'all" and "fixin'" in places outside the South, the problem with body slimming undergarments, and whether or not the wide belt is a valid fashion option. They also analyze the post-'N Sync career of Justin Timberlake. Because that's what most 30-something mamas do in their spare time. And last but not least, there are bloopers. Oh yes ma'am there are.

Coming to you live from Texas and somewhere on I-65, Big Mama (http://bigmama1.com) and BooMama (http://boomama.net) cover a range of Deeply Important Topics: what to do about bare legs in the wintertime, how they like to spend their spare time, their ongoing efforts to develop a vast media empire and why marriage seems to be so difficult for celebrities. Plus, they talk about Christy Nockels. But this is really nothing new. And as an added bonus for those of you who have had a difficult time telling Big Mama's and BooMama's voices apart, there's a dead giveaway on this podcast: BooMama is the one who is on a cell phone and sounds like she's participating in a really sub-par radio remote. It is sure to be a tender memory.

In their second whole podcast, Southern mama-bloggers Big Mama (http://bigmama1.com) and BooMama (http://boomama.net) talk about some special challenges of motherhood - including but not limited to vomit, the use of wild animals in home decorating, the ongoing debate regarding skinny jeans, and whether or not Hillary Clinton's hair can be helped. Plus, God love 'em, they've managed to include some bloopers. And even theme music. Oh yes ma'am they have.

In their very first podcast, Big Mama (http://bigmama1.com) and BooMama (http://boomama.net), two Southern mama-bloggers who have opinions on pretty much everything, take a look at the InStyle fall fashion preview, what to wear to a Deeper Still conference, their ongoing hair issues, and the hair issues of several presidential candidates. And they really will get a theme song at some point. As well as some better editing skills. But Rome wasn't built in a day, people. Rome wasn't built in a day.
