    Is it possible to find genuine joy in motherhood when you’re running on three hours of sleep and pure willpower? This week, Elize and Sal are keeping it real about the messy, beautiful reality of parenting, pregnancy, and postpartum. We’re diving into how our self-talk shapes our mental health, why our daily attitude carries so much weight, and asking a big question for believers: Should Christians actually be the most approachable, joyful people you meet?

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Playgrounds are meant to be fun... until someone else's child is body-slamming toddlers, riding bikes through the splash pad, or making everyone wonder, "Should I say something?" In this episode, we swap some of our funniest (and most frustrating) playground stories and talk about the reality of parenting in public. We chat about when to step in, when to let kids work things out themselves, how to handle rough play, and what to do when other parents aren't paying attention. We also dive into the
