Welcome to the first episode of 2025! Can you believe we’re here? In this heartfelt episode, I reflect on the passing of time and the moments that remind us to cherish each day. From the chaos of Christmas to the whirlwind of birthdays in our family, life is full—but God’s grace is greater.
Don’t forget to take a moment for yourself—close the door, take a walk, and listen to this encouragement-filled episode. Together, let’s reflect on God’s faithfulness, celebrate the gains in our lives, and start this year rooted in gratitude and grace. Here’s to a year of growth, joy, and peace.
Key Topics Covered:
- Cherishing the moments that matter amidst the chaos of motherhood
- How to use positive reinforcement to create a peaceful family atmosphere
- The power of celebrating past gains instead of being discouraged by the gap ahead
Let’s step into 2025 with hope and purpose—together.
