Bunmi Laditan hasn't always prayed like she does now. Her faith in recent years has grown and with it she finds herself praying all day long in a constant conversation with God. This episode in The Busy Mom's Guide series is about prayer. Not holy, big word prayer, but gritty, honest prayer that says exactly how we're feeling and what we're thinking. We are always striving for part practical and part inspirational in our podcast episodes and this conversation hits the perfect balance of both. Bunmi reminds us of the good news of the Gospel. As a relatively returner to faith, her excitement about God's care for us IS inspiring. She also tells us why as a mom she prays for her kids (as her parents prayed for her for many years.) If you are a mom of older kids you will be inspired to pray for them. Bunmi also shares about HOW she prays. She gets practical. She reads Scripture, journals, anoints her children with oil, and whispers and screams. She goes to God as her father and believes in his gentleness as he receives her. This sense of safety gives her the freedom to be completely honest in her prayers. She knows God won't reject her but will welcome her words. If you are a mom who has never prayed you will find a friend in Bunmi. If you are a mom who wonders if your prayers matter, you will be reassured they do. If you are a mom who is tired of the fluff, we've got you. This conversation is for you.

Joy Clarkson reveals how she came up with the title for her latest book by embracing a teasing insult on Twitter. In "Aggressively Happy: A Realist's Guide to Believing in the Goodness of Life", she argues that a headstrong pursuit of happiness is not only an appropriate response to the weariness of life, it's a necessary one. Bunmi Laditan is a writer and poet best known for her satirical Twitter account @HonestToddler. She retraces her spiritual path from her family's background as Yoruba Christians, to Judaism and beyond, and shares humourous and heartfelt selections from her book, "Help Me God, I'm a Parent: Honest Prayers for Hectic Days and Endless Nights."

It's hard to believe that way back on September 13th of last year we began praying our kids through the school year and that today is our last day!    We've prayed for our kids to have connection, purpose, salvation, humility, and countless other attributes of our faith. Many of you have been with me each step of the way as we've asked the Lord to stand in the gap of our parenting while also drawing our kids to him. I'm so grateful.     This week is our very last week of the school year, and Bunmi Laditan is joining us to wrap it up. Please, please don't miss this last week because Bunmi is amazing and you will love her. Also we are finishing up our year talking about why we pray for our kids, how to do it well, and how to respond even when we don't see the answers we are praying for.     Bunmi has a new book out this summer on prayer, and it would be a great way to pray for your kids the next few months before we kick things off again in September. Speaking of the next school year, (drum roll please) we're praying the Psalms over our kids, and I cannot wait to see how God uses this study to lead our families closer to him.     So thank you for praying with me this school year. Thank you for always sharing these podcasts with your friends and small groups. And thank you for allowing Pardon the Mess to speak into your parenting each week. I'm truly blessed to walk the road with each of you who want to love the Lord well in your parenting.     P.S. The prayer journal for the 2022-2023 school year will be available starting in July. Listen to Pardon the Mess on Thursdays for more information on how to grab a copy for you and your friends.    Resources:  To learn more about Bunmi Laditan, check her out here!

Jennie True is an absolute gem! I loved this conversation! The great exhale.If you don't mind a little profanity and shocking realism.. this episode is going to be the fresh air you've needed, this year.We cover from  being inclusive to the shocking realities of parenthood and doing “your thing” with littles around.Don't miss this!_________About Jennie:Jenny Pritchett (alias Jenny True) is a nationally recognized columnist for Romper, where she publishes advice on pregnancy and parenting, as well as on her popular blog Jenny True: An Excruciatingly Personal Mommy Blog, which was a finalist for the Mom 2.0 2019 People's Choice Awards.Her new book: You Look Tired: An Excruciatingly Honest Guide to New Parenthood is in the tradition of Ali Wong and Amy Schumer, and is a whip-smart, spit-out-your-coffee funny guide for new parents. Plenty of "new parent" guides cover the basics of breastfeeding, bonding, sleep, and "getting back in shape." But nowhere is there a guide that tells you about the medieval act of pumping, why one shouldn't turn to online pregnancy/parenting forums, and the answer to the question: WTF is this squeeze bottle thing from the hospital?YOU LOOK TIRED is a totally honest, tell-it-like-it-is guide for new moms and parents who don't want any more advice. Writing as Jenny True on her "Excruciatingly Personal Mommy Blog" and in the "Dear Jenny" column on Romper, Jenny has been called the "postpartum feelings doula," as she doles out her unique mix of humor, rage, and encouragement (with a smidge of practical advice), including:• Birth Hurts: Prenatal yoga is a waste of time.• Jabba the Hutt Was Just Postpartum: It explains so much.• and more.ADDITIONAL ADVANCE PRAISE:"In You Look Tired, Jenny Pritchett dishes out hilarious, in-your-face advice to overwhelmed moms and moms-to-be. If you don't have a trust fund, a live-in nanny, or the organizational skills to breastfeed elegantly while getting a pedicure, you need this book. In the voice of her popular alter ego Jenny True, Pritchett tells it like it really is, not the way it would be if you were floating through parenthood on a cloud of maternal fairy dust. There is no maternal fairly dust, people! Fortunately, there is Jenny True."—Michelle Richmond, New York Times bestselling author of five novels and two award winning story collections, mother of one, and Jenny True fan"A must-have for moms-to-be."—Bunmi Laditan, author of The Honest Toddler: A Child's Guide to Parenting"What a relief this book is."—Jancee Dunn, author of How Not to Hate Your Husband after KidsJennie Linkshttps://www.jennytrue.comhttps://m.facebook.com/jennytrueblog/www.instagram.com/Jennie_true_author_momhttps://vimeo.com/user101177627Buy the book:https://www.jennytrue.com/the-book_________ANNOUNCEMENTS:1.  FREE LIVE Midlife Fertility Q and A on youtube every Friday 10AM PST! New youtube videos  each month.__________Imperfect Parenting Coaching, Podcast and More!Imperfect Parenting Website:https://imperfectparenting.netImperfect Parenting Instagram@Ip_parentingMIDLIFE PREGNANCY:Instagram:@arielgreenandersson

Pastor and author Mark Clark joins me on the podcast today for a timely and powerful conversation. Mark founded the Village Church in Vancouver back in 2010, and he shares today his powerful story of transformation from growing up as a skeptic to finding Christ and ultimately being called to ministry.   Mark said something in our conversation that led to one fascinating part of this conversation. He said, as a Canadian, when he speaks in America, he often says “I come to you from the future,” and he unpacks what it looks like to live and pastor in post-Christian culture. He shares that there is a  call to re-introduce Jesus to a culture who thinks they know what Jesus is about, but ultimately have made much of their decisions about Him based on the culture they find themselves in, the environment they’ve known or the broken choices of broken people in the Church. We talk about how many people wrestle with what they’ve seen and they walk away from faith all together, but how we can meet people where they are by reminding them who Christ truly is.  Mark has also written a book called The Problem of Jesus: Answering a Skeptic’s Challenges to the Scandal of Jesus. His book attempts to clear away much of what hinders us from looking DIRECTLY at Jesus because of all the chaos around us. He says to “Let the work of Jesus scandalize you, instead of allowing us to be scandalized by those in the Church.” He presents so many facets of Jesus, historically, culturally, and how His life turned the world upside down in the context of ancient Israel, but how that same power still changes lives today. The more clearly we see who Jesus is in scripture, the more clearly we can see Him now.  There is just so much to unpack here, and I think it's just a conversation that is right on time. Jesus knows the questions we have. He knows the brokenness we are surrounded by. He can take it, and He wants us to take these things to Him.  Connecting with Mark: Book Facebook InstagramTwitter Website Connecting with Village Church Recommended Bible Study Resource: Daily Grace Co.  Podcast Instagram References:  -Augustine- “For now, treat the Scriptures of God as the face of God; melt in its presence” (Sermones 22, 7). -C.S.

Bunmi Laditan, is an award winning, Webby nominated writer. Most of you may know her by her moniker ‘Honest Toddler.’ Her debut novel, Confessions of a Domestic Failure, is a satirical, realistic look at motherhood. Bunmi has outdone herself with her latest book, : Honest Prayers to a God who Listens. She had originally written this collection of poetry and prayers as a way of following her own spiritual journey. With candor, self-aware humor, and a profound insight, Bunmi saw that so many were struggling with similar journeys. And so with much humility, she agreed to publish Dear God. The book is for anyone seeking to reconnect as well as for those looking for a good word. Bunmi shares her journey, a journey of emotions that we all experience at different points in our lives – doubt, anger, love, desperation, gratefulness and more. Dear God was featured on the Today Show and Bunmi is a contributor to Parenting.com, Mothering.com, iVillage.com, the New York Times and the Huffington Post. Bunmi lives outside of Montreal with her family. Her social media following is large. But more impressive is that there is communication between her and her followers, not just emoji’s.

My conversation with Bunmi Laditan was so refreshing. Bunmi is simultaneously hilarious and full of wisdom. She also has the invaluable gift of putting you completely at ease in her presence. Bunmi is a writer living in Quebec, Canada whose work ranges from the humorous to the poetic, including titles such as The Honest Toddler, Confessions of a Domestic Failure, Dear Mother, and her most recent book, Dear God: Honest Prayers to a God Who Listens. In my time with Bunmi, she shares about her fascinating journey of faith; a journey of exploration, hitting rock bottom, and coming to know God in intimate and unexpected ways. She also shares about some of the unneeded pressure on women, from beauty standards to what we eat, and how pivotal it is for us to see ourselves and others as lovingly and beautifully created by God.

Being a creative on the best of days is difficult. This week's guest was able to utilize a platform as the Honest Toddler to open so many doors! She is authentic, and her creativity is incredible; Johnny & Hollie sit down and hangout with Bunmi Laditan.

  Bunmi Laditan went viral when she created the hilarious Twitter account Honest Toddler(@honesttoddler). With the same gutsy and poetic honesty that has charmed readers around the world, Laditan is now sharing the faith side of her life through her funny, often heart-breaking and deeply insightful prayers. In Dear God: Honest Prayers to a God Who Listens (Zondervan Books, January 2021), Laditanwill stir your heart and make you laugh out loud with her self-aware humor and profound insight into the spiritual journey we're all trying to navigate.

My guest this week is Bunmi Laditan, author of a new book called Dear God: Honest Prayers to a God Who Listens. I really loved talking with Bunmi. She has a sincerity and an authenticity that are impossible to miss. We explored her moments of darkness and doubt, the difficulty we might have in relating to the concept of “God” as a male figure, whether God appreciates our irreverence, and the nature of divine love, among other topics. I don’t think Bunmi would mind my saying that she has a childlike exuberance when she talks about God’s love, which she clearly wants everyone to know. We also discussed her suicide attempt, and the near-death experience that followed. I think you’ll get a lot out of this conversation.

Today, I have the absolute pleasure of getting to share my conversation with the one and only Bunmi Laditan. Some of you may know Bunmi as the author, blogger and social media Honest Toddler personality. And while Bunmi has some HILARIOUS truths to share about children, surviving raising them, and parenthood, this season Bunmi is walking in now looks a little bit different. Her latest book, Dear God: Honest Prayers to a God who Listens, are beautiful heart cries from a woman who has been to hell and back trying to find what she truly believes in.  Bunmi shared with me her spiritual journey of completely running away from who she thought God was, and discovering He is more amazing and real than she could have ever dreamed. We talk (and laugh A LOT) about motherhood, mental health, the powerlessness of success, the dark places we can go looking for something to believe in, and so much more.  Her fire for the Gospel and the beauty of who Jesus really is just warmed me to my core. For those who have searched so many places for answers, who just keep waiting for the hard to relent, who have wounds from religion, or trauma from humans, who have fumbled through any kind of darkness, this conversation is for you. Bunmi is the most relatable human I’ve talked to in a hot minute when it comes to all things being a parent, combining your mental and spiritual health and clinging to Jesus because we are just a wreck without Him, and I pray this conversation meets you where you are. Dear one: There is a Father in Heaven who loves you, He’s not ignoring you, your pain, your question, and your confusion matters to Him. He can handle it all. He is not like the people who have skewed your perception of Him. Ask your questions, friend. He is a good Father, searching the horizon for you.

We're forging ahead in our self-care series and diving into one of the hardest parts of self-care: how to care for our souls, the fire that keeps our zest for life burning. Our guest today, Bunmi Laditan, is a mom of three and a gifted writer who just released a brand-new book called Dear God: Honest Prayers to a God Who Listens (including the the viral social media account, The Honest Toddler!). Bunmi's superpower is getting vulnerable and sitting with people in the dark places—because she's traveled through the dark herself. Bunmi grew up in an extremely observant Christian home with Nigerian parents, and at 16, she found herself living on the streets then, and a couple years later, married her Jewish high school sweetheart when she decided to convert to Judaism. After she and her husband divorced, Bunmi also felt divorced her from the culture and faith she'd grown to love, and her life began to unspool. Bunmi reveals how God met her in some of the darkest moments of her life, reminding her He loves her—and all of us—right where we are. And when we live in that love, that's when our souls truly flourish.   * * * Breathe life into your soul and find your God-given power with my Called to Confidence 20-day guide.

With so much discussion around finding different ways to connect in a season where literal physical connections are challenging at best, how do we address when our spiritual connections are faltering? How do we “feel seen” by God when things are not okay and our attitudes are washed in more doubt than belief? Writer Bunmi Laditan (also known by her online moniker, The Honest Toddler) joins For the Love to share her lifelong journey of wrestling with God and faith, and ultimately finding hope, acceptance, and love. The daughter of Nigerian immigrants, Bunmi ran away from home as a teen, seeking a home and faith that wouldn’t shackle her to rules and tradition. During her wanderings in both the spiritual and physical world, she explored relationships and different faith traditions before finally coming to know a core truth that has informed her ever since: God sees her and loves her—and He would come to meet her, no matter where her wandering took her.  * * * Thank you to our sponsors!

Friends!!!! I got to interview Bunmi Laditan about her new book, Dear God: Honest prayers to a God who listens. Bunmi Laditan is an award winning, webby-nominated author. She went viral a few years ago when she created the hilarious Twitter account, The Honest Toddler. She has contributed to The New York Times, Parenting and The Huffington Post, and is best known for the satirical Honest Toddler account and her debut novel, Confessions of a Domestic Failure.  In her new book, Dear God: Honest prayers to a God who listens, Bunmi writes with the same gutsy and poetic honesty that has charmed readers around the world. She's now sharing the faith side of her life with her funny, often heartbreaking and deeply insightful prayers. She will stir your heart and make you laugh out loud with her self-aware humor and profound insight into the spiritual journey we're all trying to navigate. One day she prayed to a God she wasn't sure even existed and ask "who are you?" and he answered. Reconnecting with the God she loved, then lost, she realized he had never left her side even while she wandered. In this book Bunmi journeys through emotions we all experience: doubt, anger, joy, desperation, love, loneliness and grateful. She exquisitely names our fears, voices our painful questions and bravely says what we're all thinking in our prayerful wrestling with God.  I've followed Bunmi for several years and I truly feel SO seen and affirmed when I read her writing. She speaks to my soul and this new book is no different! I am so grateful she is sharing her journey of faith. I know she is going to connect with so many through this and lead people to Jesus! What a gift. I know you're going to enjoy this interview!  You can pre-order Bunmi's new book anywhere books are sold (a couple of links below) AND you can join the book club, along with me! https://www.bunmiladitan.com/dear-god-book-club  Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Dear-God-Honest.../dp/0310359163 Apple: https://books.apple.com/us/book/dear-god/id1502927093... B&N: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/.../dear-god.../1136662255... Target: https://www.target.com/.../dear-god-by-bunmi.../-/A-81791806 Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/.../Dear-God-Honest.../108285304 You can follow Bunmi on Facebook at Bunmi Laditan or on Instagram @honesttoddler.

The Big Bed is a humorous picture book about a girl who doesn't want to sleep in her little bed, so she presents her dad with his own bed―a camping cot!―in order to move herself into her parents' big bed in his place. A twist on the classic parental struggle of not letting kids sleep in their bed.

On Episode 32, co-hosts Leslie and Tesi dive into a topic near and dear to their hearts—the war against manufactured magic. It’s a Gladiator’s road to be sure, but today's episode tackles the idea that kids can make their own fun this summer and that women can release the pressure they may feel as moms to create constant joy, whimsy, and fun for them. The conversation focuses on a great article written Bunmi Laditan that appeared in The Huff Post. Surrounding this topic, the podcast opens with a celebration of Tesi's birthday and ends with a dare to let memories be made because you refuse to give into the pressures of the world and allow your kids experience magic on their own. For complete Show Notes visit www.mamabeardarespodcast.com/daretolisten/. Here are some highlights of the conversation: Leslie reveals that her best parenting move is from the couch or the porchThe co-hosts share childhood memories that were very simple and were not manufactured! Tesi recalls a thrilling childhood—and she doesn’t remember seeing her mom during the day. (She was certainly not manufacturing magic.)If it feels natural to you to create magic, then do it! But if it feels unnatural to you, don’t. Release the pressure of perfection!We pose a few final questions from the article about childhood, magic, and where you stand on the relationship between the two...and ask our Mama Bear Community to answer online!

Laditan has a new book out called Toddlers are A-Holes: It's Not Your Fault.
