3 Lessons from a First-Time Working Mom Summer Edition

Summer is already full, and we are supposed to be at work working full time and at home, as a full-time cruise director/ party planner for our kids while they are home, and that adds a TON of stress to our plate. What if it wasn’t that way? What if we could take some notes from our friends and change our expectations for summer? Save this episode for the next season change and listen in as Stephanie Thurling shares lessons she learned as a first-time summer working mom! 

 

Steph is here to share 3 lessons she learned this summer, and her lessons take us far into the other seasons we face as the Executive Director of Christian Parenting and the host of the Christian Parenting Podcast. Steph’s heart is for the parent, for us to grow closer to God and lead our families well! She is a delight, and you will love our friendly conversation!

Hey Mom! You Can…ASK FOR HELP

Hello, and welcome to our summer series, HEY MOM, YOU CAN....!

I know how busy you are; you are doing hashtag all the things. I know this because I, too, am doing everything. And doing all the things isn’t always bad, but it is when we are running ourselves ragged and not enjoying ourselves or the things we are doing. Summer often brings up loneliness and discontentment, and I turn into a grumpy robot serving and doing in spite instead of joy!

That’s not what I want for us, so welcome in. In this series, you will be encouraged by everything we can do!

Today we are discussing asking for help, why we need to, and how we can learn to open our houses and hands up. And how when we don't, we could be robbing blessings from those around us! Let's lean in and ask for help!
