97. The Heartbreak of a Mom

JOYCE MEYER
About this episode

Mom.

The name can bring up a sea of emotions—everything from fear to desire, to grief to frustration. We all have different challenges associated with momming, whether we dream of becoming one, are in the throes of raising several kids, or aren't sure how we feel about having any at all.

Whatever your situation is, there's gold for you in this episode. Listen in as we look back at a couple of our conversations (including one with the lovely Lisa Harper!) where we share how you can navigate the teen years, embrace God's unique plan for you, trust Him to take care of your kids, and let Jesus in to heal your heart where you've been broken.

P.S. You can find this episode's special offer and get more Talk It Out content at joycemeyer.org/talkitout!
