Show Notes
Welcome, friend, to another Memos in the Margins episode where we’re talking about the one ingredient that actually leads to real, lasting change—especially in the thick of motherhood. If you’ve ever found yourself snapping at your kids, running on empty, and unsure how to shift into a version of motherhood that actually feels life-giving, this episode will speak right to that. We’re digging into what it really takes to move from survival mode to a season of balance as a wife, mom and business owner.
You’ll also hear a real-life moment that unfolded mid-recording involving a baby squirrel and my daughter (TBD how this will turn out). It’s a reminder that even in the chaos, growth is possible—and often found in the most unexpected places.
I pray this episode encourages you!
Hugs!
