We’re back with part two of our “State of Motherhood” address and we hope you’ve got on your closed toe shoes, because Karen might step on your toes today! As we continue this candid conversation about the good, the bad, and the ugly aspects of being a mom, we talk about the necessity of taking ownership for your world and encourage you to root out laziness wherever it has crept into your life. Don’t miss Karen’s encouragement for us all at the end, that it is worth it. Despite the challenges and the seemingly never-ending work of motherhood - there are great rewards in this calling. We hope this episode reminds you that everything we do should be done unto the Lord, and that includes being a mom!    Episode Recap • Stop blaming others, take ownership for your life (6:00-18:00) • Stop being lazy (18:53) • Proverbs 31 and the virtuous woman (29:17) • It’s all worth it (32:07)   Resources: Want Karen to come deliver some tough love and major encouragement to the moms in your community?
