Mothering With An Eternal Perspective

Jenna Griffith
About this episode

One of the things that freed me up the most in my motherhood journey was realizing that I don't always have to LIKE every single part of being a mom. I don’t have to like the 3 am wake up calls and poop accidents and toddler attitudes in order to do this job joyfully. If nobody’s ever told you that, let me be the first to fill you in on this secret - loving motherhood and doing it joyfully doesn’t mean you have to like every single part of it! Let’s just be real, nobody likes every single part of it. Today we’re answering the question, “how do i remain joyful even in the parts of motherhood i probably wont ever look back on and miss?” So let's dive in!
