This is our last episode of the season! We're grateful you've joined us. In this episode, we chat about transitions that we go through as mothers. We talk about how our parents handled those transitions, how we handle them, what our most challenging transitions have been, and transitions we're currently going through. We'd love to hear about the transitions you're facing and how you handle them. Please also join for the Instagram lives we'll be doing this summer! Come join us on Instagram @eyresisters.  Â

60. Letting Our Kids Fail
In this week's episode Saren, Shawi, and Saydi talk about the importance of letting our kids fail. This is a hard one! It's in our nature as mothers to take care of our kids, but letting them experience failure is key to growing resilience and confidence, so we have to let it happen. In this episode we discuss how it was in our home growing up, reasons we struggle to let our kids fail, and a few ideas to help you. We would love to hear your experiences with letting your kids fail! Share with us on Instagram!  Show Notes: The Gift of Failure by Jessica Leahy Parenting Breakthrough by Merrilee Browne Boyack

59. Q&A: Siblings, Scriptures, Stillness, and Exercise
This week's episode is pretty low key, but we hope you find it as fun to listen to as we did recording it. For the episode we've chose to answer four questions we've received from listeners: 1) How do you stay close with siblings, especially when you're in different stages? (And help your kids stay close?) 2) What do you do for family scripture study and personal scripture study? 3) How do you find stillness? 4) What do you do for exercise? We've shared our answers, but we'd also love to hear yours!
