If you're anything like me, you're probably thinking “ain't nobody got time to worry about my own well-being.” After all, we're trying to keep everyone else above water on any given day, right? But that mindset is exactly what gets us into trouble and is something I'm super excited for us to dive into today. Mia Mbrow is an LPC as well as my dear friend. She's joining us today to talk about this notion of well-being. She has a good word on the importance of assessing where we are individually, before attempting to love others effectively. She breaks down well-being into six facets: intellectual, occupational, emotional, social, physical, and spiritual. When one of these areas gets wonky, all of the other areas of our lives tend to suffer. I especially love her three well-being questions and the practical challenge not to add more, but find ways to do less in order to be more to our families. Many of us have a tendency (especially women) to feel like we have to be all things to all people—which leads to exhaustion and a performance-driven mindset. Let's talk about this today as we're approaching the stress of the upcoming holiday season. Can't wait for you to meet Mia Mbroh! All things Cynthia All things Mia Mbroh
I remember as a kid having a range of emotions the night before school started. I would lay in bed with questions swirling like… Did I pick the right back to school shoes? Will my friends still like me? Is Mrs. Smith as mean as everyone says? Will my favorite lunch table have enough seats? Will the coach yell at me again for being the slowest to run the mile in PE? (oh wait, maybe that's just me) Whether or not our kids are willing to admit it, they are facing some of the same back to school jitters that we did. Even harder are some of the safety concerns they face that undoubtedly weigh on them this time of year. Mia Mbroh is with us today and as a licensed counselor, she's worked in private practice as well as in school settings. She's helping us navigate some key areas of concern including school safety, friendships, bullying, and academics. She has a good word on how our families can rewrite the narrative when it comes to what matters in school and how we will represent our faith this year. Take a few minutes to listen to Mia's great words for back to school, and then share it with a friend. Also, we're gearing up our Monday prayer podcasts in September so be sure to grab a copy of A Parent's Prayer Guide: Key Psalms to Pray Over Your Kids if you haven't already!

If I had to pick just one person to speak into the nitty gritty of starting a new school year, it would 100% be Mia Mbroh. She's not only a licensed professional counselor, but she has also worked directly in the school trenches giving her a unique insider's perspective. In the only way Mia knows how, today she brings us an honest and vulnerable look at the good, bad, and ugly that our kids are facing in this new school year. And as a part of that, I can promise you don't want to miss a second of her advice on showing grace and letting go of some of the high expectations we're holding onto for our kids (ouch, my toes). There's a really, really good word I needed to hear on walking our kids through hard friendships, social awkwardness, and the hard places we face with learning differences. And take note if you have a junior high or high school child, she addresses ways to best connect with these little darlings and gives a HILARIOUS dog/cat analogy. If your kids are back in school, don't miss the wise words of Mia Mbroh!

WOYS Ep 22 - Social Dilemma by Mia Mbroh
Mia Mbroh and guest Dr. Joy Bell discuss a topic that is often overlooked...children and race.
We say this often, but parenting is one of the greatest blessings and one of the greatest challenges. There are really hard places in parenting that are much easier to avoid rather than address head-on. Suicide is one of those topics. It’s emotional, it’s scary, and it’s easy to feel inadequate when it comes to talking about it. That said, the CDC lists suicide as the second-leading cause of death in children and young adults between the ages of ten and twenty-four. We can’t afford to gloss over a topic so pervasive in our youth. This statistic has become more than a number in recent days as we have seen family after family impacted by suicide in our community. Many of you have asked us to consider entering the conversation and to provide biblical guidance and resources. We heard you, and today we are doing just that by providing a special edition of content focused on suicide. Our prayer is that these resources are helpful as you consider the topic of suicide. However, we are not a substitute for professional help. If you are struggling (or anyone around you is), please get the help you need and deserve. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is (800)273-8255.
Mia Mbroh and guest Jeri Chambers continue pt. 2 of the discussion with the difficulties of parenting.
Mia Mbroh along with guest Nicole Clark, discusses being a sole survivor vs your soul surviving.
Topic: As parents, we constantly want the best educational foundation for our children. This playing field is not always leveled equally for African American children.. Various factors such as socioeconomic status, demographics, and naivete affect positive projection for our children. Let’s not forget the staggering gaps in educational advancement between black and white children, even when we are the ‘right school district’. We are discussing what it means to have a diverse educational experience and improvement of cultural competency for black children in schools with our guest Mia Mbroh.

Cultural issues inundate our news feeds every day, and it seems that, all too often, they relate to conflicts of diversity and race. As parents, we all want to talk honestly and biblically with our kids about the real world and the cultural issues they face each day. But if you’re anything like me, it’s easy to feel ill-equipped to talk about diversity with our kids and do it well without saying the wrong things. On today’s podcast, Jenny Brady and Mia Mbroh encourage us to start conversations about diversity in our homes. They are quick to remind us that diversity is not just a matter of skin color, but also gender, socioeconomic status, age, culture, and economic status. Jenny and Mia love the Lord and create a safe place to consider issues of diversity while pointing us back to God’s design and the biblical implications on our faith. Don’t miss this practical, honest conversation on diversity that will help you consider areas where your family might make small adjustments with big impact.

Do we rob our kids of the ability to trust God by constantly intervening when we see them struggling? What if our efforts to provide and protect are the actual barriers to their success? In this podcast we talk with Christian counselor Mia Mbroh about whether failure is important or overrated, how a Christian parent should respond to a child who is struggling, and how stop parenting out of our own wounds from the past. She asks us “is God still good enough for us, even in the difficult times?” and expands on how our behavior often answers this question with a resounding “no.” Mia gives us practical ways we can love our children by letting them fail – by choosing to walk with them through their failure instead of always trying to take the pain away.
