We are continuing our series The Thriving Home again with this final episode that covers the most important thing we as mothers can do for our homes and that is to know God and His Word well!
A little about my guest,
Glenna Marshall. She is a wife, mother, author and speaker.
She grew up in Tennessee but lives in southern Missouri where her husband has pastored their church for nearly twenty years. Glenna studied creative writing at Union University, graduating with a B.A. in English in 2003. She is the author of three books (with a fourth coming soon!) and travels extensively to speak at women’s retreats and conferences.
Much of her writing deals with spiritual disciplines as the means by which we grow in the faith and endure suffering. Glenna’s deepest desire is to direct her readers to deep study of Scripture.

We are continuing our series The Thriving Home again this New Year with a very honest conversation about the hope that is available to those in a seemingly hopeless marriage.
This episode is powerful and I think every married person including couples preparing for marriage can glean from today’s conversation!
My guest today is Kathy Bush, co-author of the new book “Sex On the First Date”. She shares how her toxic marriage became more than she ever imagined it could be despite long term infidelity and alcoholism.
Kathy shares so openly about the way their lives changed when she and her husband surrendered all and chose to do marriage Gods way.

A bit of a different episode for you this week as we wrap up 2023!
I get a little personal about some of the things I enjoy about this season, what’s making Christmas a little different for our family this year and a recent honest moment with my youngest which made me reflect on my not-so-gentle responses and acknowledge my need for Jesus perfect example of kindness.
Also listen for an update on our series, The Thriving Home, and encouragement as you plan and prepare for the celebrations in your own family- challenges and all!
Whatever it may look like for you and yours this year- Merry Christmas!

NEW SERIES! The Thriving Home
Are you:
Tired of the growing piles in your home?
Feeling frustrated with every new mess?
Avoiding the mess because you don’t know where to start?
Are you wanting to create better habits for decluttering your home? If any of the above are true, this episode is for you!
Today Lisa Lizotte of the Habits and Home show joins me to discuss all the things related to the habits (good and bad!) that we’ve got going on in the home! More specifically, we touch on the real life day to day struggles that many of us wrestle with in order to create a clean and functional home and we talk about some of the deeper issues that may need to be addressed in order for us to see those changes occur. Lisa combines biblical truth with practical advice that’s valuable for all women, not just moms, and shares from her personal experience why she’s so passionate about helping others create a more stable and simplified home. For those of us with more neuro-diverse brains this is a real gift. Grab a piece of paper and pen because you’ll want to take some notes!

It’s great to back with you all after a long break! Joining me on todays episode is Emily Jensen, mother of 5, author, speaker and the co-founder and co-host of Risen Motherhood.
Emily and I discuss real life motherhood, hardships and what it looks like to acknowledge our weaknesses and embrace the perfect strength that God offers freely to us.
If you are in a tender or exhausted place in your motherhood journey currently, this episode is for YOU mama!
Emily shares beautifully about seasons of weariness and seeking after God’s faithful presence in the midst of it all.

Tara Sun, host of the Truth Talks with Tara podcast and author of the new book, Surrender Your Story joins me today to discuss what it means to trust God and trade in our need to control our lives for real joy, that is, the joy only God can provide to us when we seek Him and trust Him with our whole life.
In our time together we talk about her journey of receiving a chronic illness diagnosis in her teens, dropping out of college and having a baby earlier than she thought she would and how God has used those experiences to teach her about releasing control and living more freely in Him.
I love Tara’s willingness to share what she’s learning as a young wife and mom and the way she is striving to be teachable in her journey. She has beautiful wisdom to share with us today on learning to let go and trust God.

Our guest today is Emily Muckleroy, a wife and mama of 2 little girls in Colorado who loves to write in her spare time and serve in her local church.
Emily and her husband Alex have faced multiple losses including heartbreaking preterm delivery of their 3rd daughter Anna.
Emily shares vulnerably with us today not only about her pregnancy losses but also of the unexpected return of a foster son they were quite sure would be permanently joining their family earlier on in their marriage. Emily explains how God used that devastating experience to help prepare her for Anna’s passing.
Pregnancy and child loss is a painful topic but Emily brings such a light to this conversation as she reminds us again and again of just how real God’s presence is when we walk through suffering of any kind. How true reliance on God brings a peace that cannot be found anywhere else.

Welcome to the last episode of 2022!
I was asked to speak recently at an annual Christmas gathering of almost 150 women in our small community here in northern British Columbia, Canada.
What an honour to share a message of hope and to revisit some of my testimony which includes loss and postpartum mental illness. Some of these stories were shared publicly for the first time and I felt honoured to speak to what God has taught me through some incredibly painful experiences.
The hope he offers us in times of struggle is so very real and my testimony is one that points to His goodness again and again.
In the most hopeless moments, God has shown me His everlasting love. I believe that everyone's story is meant to be shared, whether in private conversation or on a stage or from behind a mic and it’s a joy to share with you in this way today.
I am going to be taking a 5-6 week break from producing new content for Knowing Motherhood so this is the last episode of 2022!
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to each one of you!
We have a beautiful hope because of Jesus and I pray that becomes even more real to you as we finish up this year and focus more intimately on what God has provided for us.
His love is timeless, unchanging and everlasting!

- teaching our children selflessness and a willingness to serve others

In today's episode Pat Wiedemer, President of the board at Life Canada, joins me to discuss the very real issues that we are facing in regards to abortion in Canada. Our lack of laws regarding abortion in this country speaks volumes about the value we place on life, not only life in the womb but the emotional, mental and spiritual health of our women and their families.
Discussion:
- the reality of consequences following abortion
- societal pressures that make abortion look like an easy “way out” of pregnancy, while leaving women hurting and alone in their regret
- we discuss the misinformation regarding the often looked upon “grey area” of rape/incest cases and why choosing life is always the best decision for both mother and baby!

Today we are starting a new series of episodes called Hard Conversations With Our Kids.
An ongoing series to equip all parents in their journeys to raise healthy, grounded, God-fearing kids.
There is a battle raging for our children’s hearts and minds like never before and our call to prepare and protect them is so real. If we choose to ignore the calling we have to build up healthy channels of communication with our children, they WILL seek out the information they desire elsewhere.
We need to be the first place they come, not google or their peers.
My prayer is that this ongoing series will help equip you for these conversations that might feel a little intimidating.
Today, Exodus Cry founder and film producer Benji Nolot joins me to talk about his mission to see pornography distribution laws tightened dramatically to protect our children online along with his 15 year fight to end sex trafficking around the world. I know you’re going to gain a lot of insight from his first hand perspective, having worked undercover, interviewing those directly involved in the porn industry. He gets right to the heart of the issues that exist in this corrupt and broken world.
During our powerful conversation Benji gets an incredible update. A great move forward in the fight against online pornography!

Hormones affect every part of our mental, emotional and physical health and are often ignored by the professionals we see for our healthcare support.
Medication for anxiety or pill/devices to control bleeding are often a first resort to fix symptoms of an imbalance but as you will hear in todays discussion, there is a better way and it starts with acknowledging that something feels "off" with our body and then taking the time to be educated. Balancing hormones requires patience but the results can be life changing.
My guest today is September McCarthy, who joined me here for the first time back in February of 2020 and she is sharing with us her personal, eye opening experience with hormonal imbalance.
She speaks openly about the realization that imbalanced hormones had been affecting her life for a long time but lack of medical support and education had prevented her from getting the testing that would have benefited her greatly.
September shares with us the steps she took towards healing and the way she is teaching her daughters to have a greater awareness than she did. Amazing. What an important topic to discuss with all of the women in our life!
An important note:
Neither September nor I are medical professionals, however we do believe in the importance of this conversation and hope to encourage you to seek hormonal testing if anything you hear today resonates.

Nicole Zasowski is back with us today to discuss trauma and finding the courage to celebrate.
We explore what the different types of traumas are, what a healing journey looks like and the importance of receiving care vs. avoidance.
I get a little personal and share about a little T trauma I experienced years ago that still affects me today.
You might find it surprising?
Trauma, big and small, does affect you more than you realize, whether it’s personal or present in the life of someone close to you.
Nicole offers us some invaluable insight into why celebration is a must for everyone no matter their circumstances and how we can do that in the simplest of ways.

Stress.
It’s apart of our lives whether we want it to be or not.
We can’t control how often life’s waters feel turbulent but we can control our response to it!
Fear and avoidance are not the way to do that and today my guest Shawna Scafe and I discuss how the acceptance of stress and healthy self care really make a huge difference!
Shawna is a wife, mom of 3, podcast host and life coach. In her coaching she uses biblical principles to encourage and equip women in all areas of life to enjoy their lives and take the necessary steps to flourish in the role they feel called to whether that is motherhood, career or both.
