"My Mother in Law is driving me crazy."
"My brother's wife doesn't understand how much this party meant to me."
"I don't want to go but I think I HAVE to because my in-laws expect us."
Navigating extended family relationships can be tiring, overwhelming and sometimes create great hurt and turmoil. We have received countless requests to tackle this topic. Today we brought in a special guest to help us dive into this water. We talk about granting grace and empathy in our relationships. Creating healthy boundaries even when it hurts. Cultivating a meaningful relationship with in-laws and more!

Review of the week by Kjp32611
:
THE ONLY PODCAST I RELIGIOUSLY LISTEN TO
This podcast saved my motherhood! I read all of Janet Lansbury’s books prior to my first daughter and told myself I can do this…then when my second was born (daughter had just turned 3), I started to fall apart. I found this podcast…and [went] down the amazing rabbit hole of this podcast. They dive into incredible topics, things I am thinking of, they read and discuss books I’ve read or are in my to-read list…I just cannot say enough good things about this podcast and these women. I listen while doing laundry, walking, making dinner…wherever I can. The mamas are like having coffee with best friends–they keep SO REAL. And during the pandemic–bless you girls. This time is so challenging, sometimes I feel like I am barely getting by–but they make me laugh because they remind you that everyone is going through this thing called life and motherhood–even now. Hugs and loves from NJ!
