If you are in need of a little Mom Grace right now (I get it, I’ve had to apologize to not one, but two of my kids this week…) I hope you will listen to my conversation with the guys from Focus on the Family about what to do when you feel like a Bad Mom.
Are you constantly struggling with guilt, shame and the illusion of perfection and being in control? So many moms deal with these feelings every single day. But we don’t have to!
I want you to be filled with hope, and grace for yourself and your kids. Listen in to the two-part broadcast where we discuss tools for getting through the big and small difficulties we go through with our children.
Just click on the links to the right to listen in on the conversation.
