This week, I'm welcoming back my friend, neighbor, and encourager, Heather Kittleson! Heather shares her journey from addiction to launching her nonprofit, Fortitude Ministries. We dive into the real struggles moms and women are facing today, how culture has distorted our view of motherhood, and how to reset our hearts around Christ-centered living. Heather’s encouragement to "zoom out," reset priorities, and pursue an abundant life will leave you feeling seen and strengthened for your own journey.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why motherhood isn’t about the white picket fence dream
- How slowing down can bring lasting joy
- Learning to say no and prioritize well
- How to zoom out and see the bigger picture
- The importance of Christ-centered identity for ourselves — and for raising our kids
- Upcoming events from Fortitude Ministries, including the new Mother-Son Event!
