Show notes: It's possible to be surrounded by our happy, laughing children (or unhappy screaming ones, let's be real) and still feel lonely. As moms, we are often giving everything we have to our kids and losing sight of who we are as individuals.

We are in our series, "Lighten Up about Parenting," and if you missed last week, let me tell you why I'm so excited. Not only do I have an awesome guest line-up for you throughout this 10-part series, but I'm putting myself in the hot seat and inviting 10 beta testers to share their honest thoughts about my upcoming book, Calm the H*ck Down. These beta testers hail from all over the country and they were given an assignment: read an early copy of my book, then come on the show and tell me what they thought. They volunteered to go first and kick the tires on this thing, you know, make sure the book works before you buy it. This is the most nervous I've ever been on my own show, because I had no idea what they'd say before they came on. So today I'm chatting for a few minutes with Gianina from Florida about Calm the H*ck Down, and then stay tuned, because author and podcaster Kara-Kae James is joining me to talk about how she lightens up about parenting. Kara-Kae is the founder of ThriveMoms, a ministry dedicated to encouraging and inspiring moms to more than just survive motherhood. She’s the author of Mom Up: Thriving with Grace in the Chaos of Motherhood and a new book Together: A Journal for Mom and Me, and she co-hosts the podcast Asking for a Friend. Pop in some earbuds, pull up a chair, listen in, and lighten up! Free Pandemic Parenting ebook when you preorder Calm the H*ck Down! Calm the H*ck Down comes out December 8, and if you preorder it now, you'll immediately receive my ebook, Pandemic Parenting: How to Calm Down When the World's Messed Up, available exclusively to those who preorder.

We are in our series Lighten Up about Friendship Over 40 and today I'm talking with one of my longest-running friends, Jamie C. Martin, author of Introverted Mom. We chat about what friendship over 40 looks like, specifically in regard to introverts and extroverts. As an extrovert, I'm always worried about being annoying, so Jamie equips us with fantastic advice on how to engage our introverted friends. She shares how she likes to get to know someone, her favorite things to do with friends, and how she maintains friendships during this busy season of life. If you don't already know Jamie, I'm so excited to introduce you to MY friend, so screw in your earbuds or airpods, crank up Alexa, push the button thingy on the interwebz, listen in, and lighten up!   Links from the show: Check out Introverted Mom Take the Introverted Mom quiz!

Any introverts out there? This episode of Pardon the Mess is for you! Jamie C. Martin shares practical help for those who parent from a place of introversion. She also reminds us to accept our God-given personality by letting go of the false burdens and negative stereotypes we may associate with being introverted. But wait, there’s more! If you’re not an introvert (like me), you are very likely married to an introvert, or even raising a few introverts. Jamie shares stories from her life that help us relate and care for our introverted loved ones, appreciating their strengths while giving us practical steps for building them up and reminding them that they are more than enough. I personally walked away with so much good information on what my introverted kids may need from me and how to parent them better. And Jamie provides great applications for our marriages, friendships, and so much more. Spoiler alert: We talk about how our introverted children and extroverted children likely connect with God differently, and I’m guessing it will open a whole new window on understanding your kids (like it did for me). Thank you for listening to Pardon the Mess. I’m praying that you’re blessed by our time with Jamie C. Martin today.   Links for today's podcast: Introverted Mom: Your Guide to More Calm, Less Guilt, and Quiet Joy Quiz: Are you an introverted or extroverted mom? *scroll to bottom of the page

No matter where you land on the personality spectrum, what Jamie C. Martin shares is TRUE: “Your personality is not an accident or mistake, it’s something to honor and celebrate. You already have every trait you need to be the best unique woman for your unique life.” It’s all a part of God’s design! This episode is filled with encouragement, practical tips and action steps that will help INTROVERTED LISTENERS see your natural personality as a strength, not a weakness… and the REST OF US will gain a better understanding of how to love and connect with our INTROVERTED LOVED ONES.  Episode show notes:  www.gwensmith.net/graceologie/53 SPONSOR:  www.FabFitFun.com / use code GRACEOLOGIE for 20% off your first box! #fabfitfunpartner Graceologie on INSTA:  @graceologie Graceologie on FB: www.facebook.com/graceologie Graceologie Podcast website: www.gwensmith.net/graceologie Gwen Smith on INSTA:  @GwenSmithMusic Gwen Smith on FB:  www.facebook.com/GwenSmithMusic Graceologie on INSTA: @Graceologie Graceologie on FB: www.facebook.com/graceologie

On this episode of Mama Bear Dares, Tesi and Leslie talk to Jamie C. Martin, a mother, an avid reader, a homeschooler, a world traveler, and a witness to the terrible tragedy that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December 2012. Jamie has written a book that the sister-hosts absolutely love and think you will, too! The women discuss Give Your Child the World: Raising Globally Minded Kids One Book at a Time and the ways in which we can help our children develop empathy and compassion through literature and story. After a conversation that covers topics ranging from the gift of public libraries to dealing with tragedy alongside children to the dynamic appeal of list-making to the beauty of our enormous world, the women leave listeners with a DARE encouraging listeners to think about their own story and the stories of others, using the collective narratives to give children the gift of uplifting, beautiful, redemptive tales as a shield from the world's cynicism and a springboard to a life of love and compassion.
