That's Just What I Needed Podcast
Donna JonesHow to Make Sure Your Friendships Bless You, Your Parenting, and Your Child
October 22, 2025 ● 17 minShare this episode
What if authentic friendships could make motherhood lighter, richer, and more joyful?
This episode is inspired by a conversation I had recently with my daughter Ashton—soon to be a mom herself—about the incredible role of prayer and friendships in navigating motherhood’s highs and lows. Together, we explore how real connection helps us grow into the women and mothers God designed us to be.
We unpack how to set healthy boundaries, handle comparison, and handle differences in parenting styles with grace.
This conversation is all about celebrating sisterhood over competition and finding strength through community, faith, and heartfelt connection.
Xo,
Donna

A Prayer to Receive the Father’s Discipline - Your Daily Prayer - May 16
Conviction, repentance, and discipline are all great gifts from our Father in heaven. He wants us to be honest with Him so that we can see real transformation happen in our lives, as He conforms us into the image of His Son.
