S2E5 Brenda talks with Kim Mishler about Grief, Joy, and Motherhood

In this conversation, Brenda and guest Kim Mishler share advice they would give their younger selves about how to prepare for the shock, disappointment, and grief experienced in mothering and midlife. Discover the importance of recognizing:

✅ The cause and effect of unrealistic expectations on our kids.

✅ The individuality of each child.

✅ Our children will disappoint us and we will disappoint them.

✅ The value of coping strategies: trusted individuals to confide in; scripture and prayer to lean on.

✅ The value of growing your whole self through the mothering journey.

✅ Your joy and contentment should come from Jesus and not your children.
