I've been believing a lie my whole life. One that has permeated everything I've ever done. One that has been the driving force for so many of my attempts and my accomplishments. It's the lie of unworthiness. People, mainly good intentioned church people, have told me (and my peers) over and over that I am … Continue reading The Lie of Unworthiness

How to Build Authentic Business – Authentic Life
In my last post, I talked about how to start & grow a business as a momma struggling to navigate overwhelm or chronic illness. (I say business, but this applies to running a ministry, as well, so any place you see business, you can also substitute ministry, if that's your capacity.) Something we need when … Continue reading How to Build Authentic Business – Authentic Life

Pregnancy & Postpartum Depression & Anxiety – A Glimpse

An Imperfect Mom Kind of Night
What a day yesterday was. It's been disappointing, insomnia has hit, and I've been feeling like crap for most of the week.
