Frizzy Mom: Recent Episodes
Frizzy Mom
This podcast is like a call amongst friends. It’s not formal. It’s not fancy. It’s real. It’s raw. It’s funny. It’s serious. It’s random. It’s about life; Jesus, uni-boobs, crappy pelvic floors, anxiety, and everything else. It’s not a “mom” podcast. It’s about being a woman who finds herself working through everything, and finding that we are not alone in dealing with our everything. Women need other women. Hope you find laugher, comfort, healing, and a friend as you listen.
I’m a firm believer in calling my children and the people in my life forth in their giftings. But without an environment of healing one cannot grow in their gifts.
I think “who sits at your table” is one of the most important decisions you will make. In this episode I talk about what loving another person looks like, how I’m so tired of the “don’t judge me” mentality, how friendship does not equal a place at my table, and how your table is not a ridiculous “click.”
I’m a firm believer that you don’t have to invite EVERYONE into your life. I believe in being loving and kind, but that does not mean you have to introduce all those who play a role in your life to your table. I honestly don’t think it’s Biblical. I’ve come to realize I have not always been nor will always continue to be someone who should be invited to all tables. Be purposeful about seeking those who create growth and truth.
It’s hard for me to admit when I’m hurt. I don’t want to seem weak or as if I’m under someone’s control. My hurt often comes out in the form of anger.
I am of the belief that dogs can teach children how to think of others. In this episode I also talk about the shame I have been feeling as I watch my child live his amazing life.
This phone call with my friends is about 100 things apparently. I talk about my weight loss, being afraid of dying (even as a believer in Jesus), and my fascination with children being raised by animals. And apparently I said “my father’s grandmother” I meant my husband’s grandmother 🤦♀️.
I think understanding true friendship is when you realize it’s good to be friends with your kids. I believe in the many facets of our parenting, friendship should be a facet. Also, roaches are of the devil.
Something was said to me years ago. And I am still filled with bitterness. Why? I think why is the wrong question.
In this episode I talk about my husband, my journey in singleness, and what single women need to do...seriously.
Depression for some reason has become something people don’t want to talk about. I talk about a good friend of mine that struggles with depression and how her kids are apart of that life.
In order to change the narrative you live by, ones that damage us, lies we believe, we need to live boldly.
I never expect Jesus to come through. Honestly. My anxiety causes me to expect the worse. Sometimes I just wait for disaster to strike. This is not living in the knowledge and love of Jesus. I’m tired of being held back, from not experiencing Jesus the way I could because of fear. Isaiah 30:18 “Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you; therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you.”
Talking about our day, our goals, our thoughts, and just random stuff is what creates bonds, friendships, and soul friends.
God’s jealousy is loving. Shocking. And life giving. I’m so impressed by God’s jealousy.
I’m embarrassed every time I have to post these episodes on Facebook. But I know I’m being obedient. And sometimes obedience looks a little bit like embarrassment
High school was a very interesting time for me. I really thought life would turn out to be a certain way for me. I’m so glad that life turned out differently, all because of conflict and grace.
There are times I have no idea who I am or what I need until those in my life give it to me. I am nothing without these life giving moments.
Those people in our lives that told us we can’t, have somehow entered into our heads and won’t freakin leave.
I’m a crappy person and crappy mom at times. In that I find myself asking those in my life for forgiveness.
We all have voids in our lives. We all feel like we lack something. There is richness we can have in this void.
Mom shaming at Target. It’s amusing. These podcasts are going to be random at times, hope you ride this ride with me.
Whatever we find yourself battling through, we have to remember that we have full access to Jesus.
