The Mere Mother, not so much.

You may not feel equal in the “real” world, but you are here! Grab a cup of coffee and pull up a chair as we talk about how you can thrive as a mom in this woman-empowered culture.

As parents raising kids in this crazy world, we’re often told to avoid “trigger words,” mistrust authority, reduce faith to a platitude, and treat beauty as subjective or irrelevant. But what if those very words—authority, faith, beauty—are the load-bearing pillars that hold up everything good, true, and flourishing in our […]
