For The Girl

• Surviving the Newborn Phase

  GIRL, this season is WILD. The newborn phase? Whew. It’s a beautiful, sleep-deprived, joy-filled ride, and we’re here to talk about it ALL. In this episode, we’re getting real about the highs, the lows, and the unexpected surprises of new motherhood and sharing how our pregnancy and newborn experiences were so different. Because let’s be real—every story matters. Parenthood is a sacrifice, but it’s also a gift. We’re unpacking Luke 14 and what it means to surrender in this season—how the sleepless nights and hard days might just be leading you into something deeper with Jesus. And let’s talk about asking for help (because we ALL struggle with it). Motherhood isn’t meant to be done alone! We’re sharing how to lean on your people, let go of mom guilt, and create rhythms of peace in the crazy. We’re in this with you, sis.
