Since one of the first podcasts many moons ago, y’all have told me about Coffee and Crumbs and that I needed to have Ashlee Gadd on the podcast. I’m so excited because we finally made it happen for you guys!  Ashlee is a storyteller, photographer, and founder of Coffee and Crumbs – a platform encouraging women in their everyday lives, especially if they have kiddos. I love her website because you can feel God’s presence and women's hearts all over it. Her first book, “Create Anyway,” was released in March of this year. I hope you love this conversation as much as I did and scoop up her book today! In this episode, we discuss: How motherhood affected Ashlee’s life and how she got her start in blogging “gritty stories” How Ashlee encourages Christian women in their mind, body, and spirit while living in a broken world The turning points that helped Ashlee embrace her truth and reframe her mindset How to view your motherhood as adding value to your life and not stealing time away from your art Why our kids need to see us creating and investing in ourselves How moms can stay away from the pitfalls of perfectionism and rely on Christ Resources from this Episode: Ashlee's Website Ashlee's Instagram Create Anyway by Ashlee Gadd Coffee & Crumbs Podcast My Life Well Loved Enneagram Post Heather's Instagram Heather's Team Building Course Follow and Review: We’d love for you to follow us if you haven’t yet.
