    E143: Navigating New Seasons as a Mom with Deb Weakly

    2026/04/10 | 35 mins.
    Welcome to Episode 1 43 of the Perfectionist Guide to Mothering!
    Today is sort of a bonus episode, a fun podcast takeover that I did with Deb Weakly of Help Club for Moms. Thought it would be a fun way to celebrate book launch week with two episodes for you on the podcast.
    Deb is part of Help Club for Moms. They are a sisterhood of ordinary women with an extraordinary love. For Jesus. They equip Moms through the Help Club for Moms Podcast, their YouVersion, devotional plans, books, and their Radiant Mom Sisterhood. I hope you enjoyed this conversation that I had with Deb.
