Building a new home that feels like it's been here for a hundred years has been a labor of love (and a learning curve!). In this solo episode, I'm sharing the latest updates from our farmhouse build, what's been harder (and more rewarding) than expected, and the details that are truly making our home look historic. From kitchen plans and farm goals to my favorite baby wrap, birth method, and thoughts on balancing homemaking and entrepreneurship, this conversation is a mix of practical tips and real-life reflection from my current season of life.In this episode, we cover:- An update on where we are in the farmhouse build and what has surprised us throughout this unique building process- How priming and painting every board, trim piece, and bit of crown molding has slowed the process but is worth it for the truly historic look- What I've learned about creating a historic-looking new build and why proportions matter more than you may think- Is it possible to build a “new old home” on a tighter timeline or with a smaller budget?- Some of my kitchen plans, including the Lacanche range and wood cookstove I've been dreaming of for cozy winter baking- What we plan to use our land for and how we are learning from my sister's full-time farm - Why I'm such a staunch believer in babywearing and which wrap I'd choose if I could only have one- The reason I won't have a water birth and the method I swear by that's made my labors nearly pain-free- Thoughts on whether it's possible for moms to truly balance homeschooling, cooking, and homekeeping all at once- How Luke and I divide our work, homeschool, and business responsibilities in this season as a full-time entrepreneurial familyView full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.Thank you for supporting the sponsors that make this show possible!RESOURCES MENTIONEDCheck out this video where I share our original “new old home” building plansFollow along with my sisters on their YouTube Channels:- Ashley at New Hartford Farm Co.- Andrea at Our Sweet Sunny Days- Laura at Our Oily HouseWatch my step-by-step Babywearing Wrap Tutorial video on Farmhouse on BooneFind my favorite wrap here: Didymos Prima Natural Woven WrapSome of my go-to sources for country home decor inspiration: Country House Living by Nora Murphy and a few books by Gil SchaferJoin my FREE masterclass to learn my 4-step framework for making money on YouTubeMaster the rhythm of sourdough with confidence in my Simple Sourdough courseGain the sewing knowledge and skills every homemaker needs in my Simple Sewing seriesTurn your content creation dreams into a profitable business with my YouTube Success AcademyKeep all my favorite sourdough recipes at your fingertips in my Daily Sourdough cookbookCONNECTLisa Bass of Farmhouse on Boone | Blog | YouTube | Instagram | TikTok | Facebook | PinterestDo you have a question you'd like me to answer on the podcast?

When was the last time you jumped in a pile of leaves without taking a picture of it? And do you know what not doing this is doing to your nervous system? In this week's episode, Dr. Josh talks about what it means to go analog in a digital world. He covers why our screens have quietly become our masters, what half-attention teaches our kids, and the small two-degree shifts that bring us back to our own soul, our spouse, and our kids. You don't have to get rid of your devices. But you may need to get rid of your vices. Here are some highlights: Anything you can't fast from owns you.Connection comes from small two-degree shifts, not one radical decision.Kids notice your continous partial attention. When they say "look at me," they deserve all of you.Go analog: find what works for you (e.g. no dings, phone stays inside when you play, one screen-free room, one screen-free time of day.)Boredom isn't the enemy. It's where creativity starts.Use screens to create, not just consume.God often speaks in the silence, and our noise can drown Him out.Show Notes: Looking for one-on-one coaching with Dr. Josh to be famous at home? https://www.famousathome.com/individualcoachingMen, sign up for the Living Legacy Cohort.

Motherhood changes you. Your body, your brain, your relationships, your priorities — sometimes even your sense of who the fuck you are.

Has your marriage started to feel more like managing a household than being in a partnership?Between kids, work, schedules, mental load, and the never-ending business of family life, it's easy for your relationship to get pushed to the bottom of the list.

She helps couples move from reactive patterns to intentional partnership so they can feel more connected, supported, and like an “us” again while raising kids.If you've ever thought, Why do we keep having the same argument? or wondered how to feel like partners instead of roommates, this conversation is for you.Text us your feedback or questions!Stay connected!Join us in The Supermom Society!

What if the secret to loving motherhood isn't enjoying every minute, but recognizing the small, golden moments that make motherhood feel magical? Rachel Nielson, host of 3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms Podcast, founder of Flecks of Gold Journal, and special sponsor of this Conference, wants moms to start looking for the tiny flecks of gold tucked into their days with their kids instead of waiting for the huge nuggets of joy.   This is a practice that saved Rachel's young motherhood when her expectations of cotton candy and angel babies met the cold hard reality of colicky newborns and fiery toddlers. Learning to locate the small, golden moments shifted the story Rachel was telling herself about her children and her parenting, and it's continued to support Rachel (and so many other moms) as her kids have grown, alongside their struggles.  With practical tips and simple mindset shifts, Rachel encourages every mom to stop trying to "enjoy every minute," and to instead focus on a single moment that documents daily why you love motherhood as much as you love your kids.

As a former high school English teacher, she has a gift for making complex ideas clear and actionable—a skill that shows up in everything she creates. Rachel's own path into motherhood came through adoption and IVF, and she expected to love every minute of it. Instead, she found herself lost in postpartum depression, wondering why loving her kids and loving her motherhood felt like two entirely different things. So she started the 3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms podcast, where she's since interviewed more than 350 parenting and self-development experts, searching for the core principles behind a motherhood that actually feels good to live. What she learned along the way became the Self-Assured Motherhood Framework, the foundation for her live program, and the Flecks of Gold Journal for Moms. Everything Rachel creates is designed to help women find joy in their own unique motherhood, not the one they think they're supposed to have.

On January 24, 2023, in Duxbury, Massachusetts, labor-and-delivery nurse Lindsay Clancy strangled her three children—Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and eight-month-old Callan—then jumped from a second-story window. She survived, paralyzed. Her husband, Patrick, came home from errands she had sent him on and found the house silent. Clancy has never denied killing her children.The fight in court was over why. Her defense said she was in the grip of postpartum psychosis: delusions, a voice telling her she had no choice, and a mind so broken she could not form criminal intent. Prosecutors said the day was planned. She had taken the kids to the doctor, played with them in the snow, gotten her husband out of the house, and—they argued—knew exactly what she was doing. The 2026 trial in Plymouth lasted weeks. Patrick Clancy, who had once asked the public to see “the real Lindsay,” took the stand for the state. Jurors heard the 911 call, hospital statements, medication history, and dueling psychiatric experts. After seven days of deliberations they could not agree. Eleven jurors were prepared to find her not criminally responsible. One holdout, Michael Desronvil, said he had no doubt she acted deliberately. The judge declared a mistrial Content warning: This episode discusses the deaths of young children, suicide attempt, and severe mental illness.

We question if it’s ever okay to film during an exercise class and shared some lived experiences that could be used as evidence for why the answer to that question should be ‘no’.Plus, two years on, the ‘Cornell Seven’ case has been reopened.

How many women are waiting for the right moment to pursue an ambition they already know they're capable of?This episode is sponsored by Deel.Hire, manage and pay – anyone, anywhere: https://www.deel.com/nickdayhr/HR leadership often demands compromise. In this episode of @thehrldpodcast Nick Day sits down with Stanislava Susla, CEO of XperienceHR, who stepped into the role while four months pregnant and refused to choose between ambition, motherhood, and building a global payroll technology company. From her NGO work supporting Ukrainian refugees to scaling a mission-driven business, Stanislava brings a rare, deeply personal perspective on what it really takes to lead, grow, and show up fully without false choices.Together, Nick and Stanislava unpack why so many parents, mothers especially, wait for the "right time" to chase their goals, and why that wait is so often driven by fear rather than a genuine lack of readiness.This conversation unpacks how Stanislava normalized working through pregnancy and early motherhood, and why focus and efficiency often sharpen rather than suffer under real constraints. Nick and Stanislava also discuss the difference between fear and wisdom in decision-making, and why quality time, not quantity of time, forms the real foundation of confident parenting.They also explore how psychological safety and honest feedback shape company culture, and why manipulation has no place in modern leadership. The discussion highlights the importance of boundaries between work and family life, and what separates healthy leadership from unhealthy leadership in both business and the wider world.In an era where ambition and caregiving are still too often treated as competing identities, this episode examines what it actually takes for working parents, and mothers in particular, to build both a career and a family without sacrificing either.A must-listen for HR leaders, working parents, entrepreneurs, and anyone who has ever waited for the "right time" to pursue something they already know they're capable of doing.Enjoyed this?

Motherhood can bring a profound identity shift, often bringing insecurities and questions about self-worth to the surface in ways women never expected. Krystle sits down with Dr. Marisa G. Franco, psychologist, professor, New York Times bestselling author of Platonic, and author of Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Secure Attachment, to explore the science behind self-worth, attachment, and our relationships with ourselves and others. Dr. Franco explains the difference between self-esteem and self-worth and why constantly striving to be better, more productive, or more “good” can actually keep women stuck in the belief that they have to accomplish something or be a certain way to feel worthy.Krystle and Dr. Franco dive into how childhood experiences and past relationships can shape the way women see themselves, receive compliments and support, respond to their children's emotions, and navigate the enormous expectations that come with motherhood. They discuss attachment styles, why the goal isn't necessarily to become perfectly “secure” contrary to the trend, and how acknowledging anxious or avoidant parts of ourselves with compassion can create greater internal safety. Dr. Franco also shares how working with difficult memories can help reshape the stories we carry about ourselves and create more room for possibility, presence, and authenticity. For moms who have ever felt like they need to do more, be better, or fit a certain version of what a “good mom” looks like, this conversation offers a powerful reminder: worth isn't something to achieve, it's something that is already inherent in who we are!If you enjoyed listening to this episode, we would love it if you could share it to your Instagram stories and tag us, @drmarisagfranco and @expectingandempowered.

In this episode of Black Her Stories, Michaela Ayers takes us inside Peggy's Place, COTS' emergency shelter on Detroit's west side, where she connects with residents about their journies and confronts what she thought she knew about homelessness. Through a collage workshop with mothers living in the shelter, conversations with COTS COO Corisa Reed, social worker LaTonia Walker, and insights from therapist Jeffery Williams, this episode looks at how trauma and generational poverty shape the mind and how the stories we tell about it can either limit or liberate us.

This Episode explores how algorithms, advertisers and even engagment farmers target moms. Once a woman does an online search about a possible pregnancy, an invisible digital journal is created and by the time the kid reaches school hundreds of algorithms have already mapped out who you are and what they can sell to you.

What happens when the version of motherhood you thought you'd be brilliant at… completely breaks you? In this episode of Pause Purpose Play, I'm joined by Cat Sims – aka Not So Smug Now on Instagram – for a very honest conversation about ADHD, motherhood struggles, perfectionism, postnatal depression, addiction and sobriety – and the power of knowing you're not the only one.  Cat shares how becoming a mother collided with a lifetime of achievement and perfectionist expectations. When motherhood didn't look or feel the way she thought it would, she was left feeling like she was failing at the one thing women are so often told should come naturally to them. She talks openly about her experience of undiagnosed postnatal depression, suicidal thoughts, and how what had once been a “party girl” lifestyle escalated into alcoholism and addiction - and what the turning point was into now being five years sober.  We talk about what recovery has taught Cat about shame, vulnerability and connection – and why sharing the messy parts of our stories can help other women realise they're not alone. We also get into ADHD, rejection sensitivity (RSD), perimenopause and the exhausting pressure to hold everything together. Cat shares how criticism can feel intensely painful, why isolation can become a way of protecting ourselves from rejection, and what she's learned about doing the opposite: reaching out, being rigorously honest and asking for help even when every part of you wants to hide. We explore: ADHD, rejection sensitivity and the fear of criticism perfectionism and the pressure to be a “good” mother postnatal depression, addiction, alcoholism and sobriety hyper-independence and why asking for help can feel so difficult the mental load, resentment and communication in relationships the difference between guilt and shame making amends to yourself and learning to own mistakes without becoming them ADHD, hormones and perimenopause overstimulation and being honest with our children about our capacity why vulnerability online can create connection – and when it tips into trauma dumping slowing down and giving yourself permission to stop before you hit burnout This is a conversation about getting things wrong, taking responsibility without drowning in shame, and letting go of the idea that we need to do everything perfectly. Because whether you're struggling with ADHD, motherhood, sobriety, perfectionism – or simply the relentless pressure of trying to be a functioning adult – you're not the only one. About Cat Sims Cat Sims is a content creator, podcaster, author and the woman behind Not So Smug Now on Instagram. Through humour, honesty and sharing the realities most of us would rather hide, her mission is to help women feel seen – and remind them that they are never, ever the only one.

I thought having hernia surgery would mean a little forced rest.It's been a lot more painful and limiting than I imagined, but I'm taking it day by day and figuring out how to slow down and let myself heal. This week, I'm catching you up on the last few weeks: why I'm giving my body more time before our next embryo transfer, my week with Sonny when Timmy was away, NY Fashion Week, some of the sweet and complicated parts of watching Sonny grow up, and how I'm really doing through all of it.

Big emotions can leave even the most confident mom wondering, Is this normal… or should I be concerned? Counselor Dr. Chinwé Williams joins Karen and Emily to explain what's happening in our kids' brains when they completely lose it and how we can partner with them to teach coping skills so they can move toward handling hard emotions on their own.Episode Recap:Are kids struggling with mental health more these days or are we just better at recognizing it?

Candace almost didn't make it to this recording because she got completely sucked into a 9/11 documentary. So naturally, we start by talking about why so many of us millennials are still fascinated by 9/11 and can lose hours watching documentaries about it.Then we get into something that might feel a little too familiar if you're married with kids: keeping score. The “I did bedtime last night, so you should do it tonight” conversations. The mental tally of who got a break, who's been up with the kids, and who's done more around the house.We talk about how easy it is to fall into that tit-for-tat mentality when you're both exhausted. And let's be real, tit does not always equal tat, if you know what we mean.

Friends, since I'm taking a few weeks' pause while feeling green with early pregnancy, I'm throwing back some of the fave L&L episodes. Hope this episode blesses you as much as the reminder blesses me! “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3It can be a painful process to open ourselves up to healing our deep wounds. In fact, it can feel like an insurmountable task to love and tend to the needs of the little souls in our homes while we are knee-deep in our healing journey.  And yet, there is an unearthly joy that we may receive by meeting Christ in these very intimate and raw places.  So how do we love through our wounds?This week I welcome back speaker, author, and my dear friend Dr. Bob Schuchts.  Bob sheds light on how tending to the wounds within is one of the best ways in which we can love our children.Plese check out more of Dr. Bob's ministry below:JPII Healing Centerhttps://jpiihealingcenter.org/Be Healed: A Guide to Encountering the Powerful Love of Jesus in Your Lifehttps://a.co/d/f1MGkkjCarrie Schuchts Daunt Retreatshttps://jpiihealingcenter.org/undone/Have an episode idea you want to hear about?

Your kids are growing up—and sometimes, as a working mom, it can feel like you're missing it. You miss the school event because you have to work. You can't make every game or activity. You look at your kids and suddenly realize how quickly the years are passing, and that familiar mom guilt starts creeping in. But missing a moment is not the same thing as missing your child's childhood. In this episode of the Faith Led Working Moms Podcast, we're talking about the emotional weight that can come with being a working mom and feeling like you're not there for enough of your children's lives. Because your child's childhood isn't made up of the handful of moments you couldn't be there for. It's made up of years of relationship—and so much of that relationship is built in the ordinary moments of everyday life. We'll talk about how to: Separate disappointment from mom guilt when you miss something important Stop measuring your motherhood by the moments you couldn't be there for Recognize the ordinary moments of connection that are already happening Resist comparing your motherhood to what other moms seem to be doing Trust God with the moments you can't control Be present for the moments God has actually placed in front of you Psalm 90:12 reminds us: “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Motherhood isn't about being everywhere or experiencing every moment. It's about asking God for wisdom with the days, responsibilities, and relationships He's entrusted to you. You may have missed a moment. But you are not missing your child's childhood. You're living it with them. Scripture Mentioned Psalm 90:12 “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” A Reminder for the Working Mom You don't have to be present for every moment to be a present mom. You don't have to attend every event, remember every milestone, or make every moment meaningful. Your kids are not measuring your motherhood by a list of moments you attended. They are growing up in relationship with you. So don't spend so much time grieving the moments you missed that you miss the moments happening right in front of you. Receive the childhood your kids are actually having. Trust God with what you can't control. And be fully present for the moments He has given you. You may have missed a moment, but you are not missing your child's childhood.   Continue Growing with Faith Led Ministries If today's episode encouraged you, I'd love to invite you to continue growing with us at FaithLedMinistries.com.

Hey Mama,Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, “Who even am I anymore besides Mom?” You're not alone, and there is real hope.In this encouraging episode, I sit down with Karissa King of Dear Young Married Couple. Karissa is a licensed marriage and family therapist, co-host of the Dear Young Married Couple podcast, and a wife and mama. We talk about what it looks like to find your identity as a woman in Christ when motherhood has become the loudest (and sometimes only) thing you feel like you are.We get honest about how easy it is to disappear into the role of mom, how that can quietly feed resentment, burnout, and even anger, and why our deepest identity was never meant to rest on how well our kids are doing or how much they still need us.

Does your child's success ever feel like a reflection of whether you're doing a “good enough” job as a mom? Motherhood can bring our own childhood experiences, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and need for external validation to the surface, sometimes without us even realizing it.In this episode, Emily talks with Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Anuja Khadka about self-worth in motherhood, inner child healing, mom guilt, social media comparison, and what can happen when we tie our identity as mothers to our children's outcomes.Anuja shares how she recognized this pattern in her own motherhood journey and explains why a child's milestones, achievements, and struggles aren't a report card on a mother's worth. They also dig into how your own childhood wounds can show up in parenting: a toddler's tantrum, your child's school experience, or even a seemingly small everyday moment can sometimes trigger an emotional response that feels much bigger than the situation itself. Anuja explains why noticing those reactions can offer an opportunity to get curious about what's underneath them.In this episode, you'll hear about:• Why moms can tie their self-worth to their children's achievements• The difference between responsibility and control in motherhood• How childhood experiences can shape our need for external validation• Social media comparison and the pressure of the “perfect mom”• Moving from external validation toward internal validation• Reclaiming your identity beyond the role of mom

What happens when you realize you may have loved what your marriage REPRESENTED more than the relationship itself?Jacquie Langworthy grew up in a loving two-parent household with highly involved parents. That upbringing shaped her expectations for marriage, family and what her future was “supposed” to look like.So when she reached her late 20s, marriage felt like the natural next step.But looking back, Jacquie can now ask a much harder question:Did I deeply love the man—or did I love the idea of marriage, family and what we represented together?In this candid conversation on The Secret Formula of Femininity, licensed psychologist Dr. Nicole Monteiro sits down with education entrepreneur, mother and Raising Scholars host Jacquie Langworthy to talk about marriage, divorce, motherhood, over-functioning, parenting guilt and rebuilding a life that no longer looks the way you originally imagined it would.Jacquie opens up about:❤️ Growing up with parents who modeled commitment and involvement—but not necessarily healthy conflict❤️ Meeting her former husband at Essence Fest❤️ The social pressure she felt to marry in her late 20s❤️ Realizing she may have been more attached to what the relationship represented than to the relationship itself❤️ Traditional gender-role expectations inside a marriage where she was also financially contributing❤️ Over-functioning in marriage and motherhood❤️ Divorcing when her children were 6 and 7❤️ The guilt she carried about the moments she believed her children missed because of the divorce❤️ Raising children after divorce—and watching them become young adults❤️ Learning to stop doing everything for her children and allow them to develop independence❤️ The pulmonary embolism during pregnancy that forced a woman accustomed to doing everything to slow down❤️ How homeschooling ultimately helped lead her toward entrepreneurship and opening her Kumon center❤️ What she's learned from raising children who are now 19 and 20❤️ Becoming open to intentional dating and relationships again❤️ What she understands about love, marriage and herself now that she didn't understand in her 20sOne of the most important ideas in this conversation is that growing up in a two-parent household can give us a model for commitment without necessarily giving us a model for everything healthy relationships require.Children need to see love.But they also learn from watching adults disagree, repair, apologize, communicate needs and navigate conflict.And for women accustomed to handling everything, there's another question worth asking:When does being capable turn into over-functioning?Sometimes the patterns that help us succeed professionally can become exhausting inside our relationships and families.Jacquie's story isn't about whether divorce is success or failure.It's about examining the expectations we inherit, the choices we make, what we learn when life doesn't follow the original plan—and who we become afterward.

In this episode, we're diving into something that Abby has struggled with for most of her life: the feeling that she's never doing enough. Whether it's parenting, work, or her home, she shares how she can hit one goal and immediately move the bar higher, which makes it hard to actually feel proud of what she's accomplished or be present in the moment. We talk about where this drive comes from, how it can turn into overfunctioning and burnout, and what it looks like to start letting go of the constant pressure to do more. She's still figuring this out, but Abby's learning that being “enough” isn't something she can achieve. It's something she has to decide.Key Topics Covered:The connection between achievement, praise, and belongingHow comparison can fuel negative self-talkWhy rest and play can feel uncomfortable for high achieversPrompts to help redefine your priorities and recognize when you're already doing enoughLetting go of perfection without losing the parts of yourself that make you a high achieverLINKS AND RESOURCES:LMNT: Free Sample Pack with purchase:  drinkLMNT.com/HERSELF FORAGE KITCHEN: Check out your nearest locationGrab a copy of the book The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level: https://amzlink.to/az0Vz8f52wrL6 Let's connect!HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastHERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.

Grief is something we all experience, but few of us truly understand. In this episode, Sarah Parkhurst and Whitney Gay, LCSW, take a deeper look at the five stages of grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—and discuss what they really look like in everyday life.Whether you're grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a dream, or a season of life, this conversation offers insight into why grief isn't linear, why no two people grieve the same way, and how understanding the grieving process can bring hope and healing.If you've ever wondered, "Is what I'm feeling normal?" this episode is for you.Follow Previa Alliance!Previa Alliance (@previa.alliance) • Instagram photos and videosPrevia Alliance Podcast (@previapodcast) • Instagram photos and videosKeep the questions coming by sending them to info@previaalliance.com or DM us on Instagram!

Motherhood is often described as one of life's greatest joys—and it is. But for many women, it can also become one of life's darkest and most disorienting seasons. Exhaustion, isolation, hormonal changes, overwhelming responsibility, and the quiet fear that “I'm not the mother I'm supposed to be” can converge into something much deeper than ordinary discouragement.For some, that darkness has a name: postpartum depression. For others, depression arrives later and lingers silently behind the daily responsibilities of raising a family. Unfortunately, Christian mothers can also feel an additional burden—the fear that admitting they are struggling somehow means they are failing spiritually.So, how should the church understand depression in motherhood? How do we take seriously the relationship between the body and the soul without surrendering our confidence in the sufficiency of Scripture? And how can husbands, pastors, friends, and churches recognize suffering and respond with truth, compassion, and genuine biblical hope?Today, I'm joined by Christine Chappell, author of Midnight Mercies: Walking with God Through Depression in Motherhood, for an important conversation about postpartum depression, the pressures mothers quietly carry, and how the gospel meets women in some of their darkest moments—not merely with explanations, but with the enduring hope of Christ.Follow the links to get Christine Chappell's book Midnight Mercies: Walking with God Through Depression in Motherhood and upcoming devotional Crying Out in Faith.Visit: https://www.lfbi.org

Dr. Lora opens up about becoming a mom shortly after residency, unexpectedly delivering her daughter 10½ weeks early, navigating a lengthy NICU stay, and ultimately returning to work just two weeks after an emergency C-section.From choosing the right specialty to finding a supportive first job and navigating motherhood when your career doesn't come with a traditional maternity leave, this episode is an honest conversation about building a career and a family when life doesn't always go according to plan.Dr. Lora on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DY8Im0gEa1n/Podcast TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@dentaldownloadpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Haley's Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/dr.haley.dds⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Haley's TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.haley.dds?lang=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

What is the role of white women in Christian Nationalism? With the author of Live Laugh Love and Jesus and John Wayne, Kristin Kobes Du Mez. More about Dr. Du Mez and her incredible work and books: https://kristindumez.com The MUCH anticipated new book from professor Kristin Kobes Du Mez is here: Live Laugh Love: The Secret History of White Christian Women and the World they Made. It is something of a companion to her NYT bestseller, Jesus and John Wayne. Whereas Jesus and John Wayne took a look at the roots and creation of an idolatrous vision of Jesus as ruggedly masculine and pro-Christian Nationalism, this book looks at the parallel process for women -- and this glittering, seductively saccharine world that is prone to abuse and manipulation. It was, as she said, "supposed to be fun." But it turned in something far more sinister. Listen in for more.  +++ Like what you hear?
