Description

At Don't Mom Alone, we don't have a "good mom" formula. We can't tell you how to get it all right but what we do have is a place to connect you with people and resources so that you know that you don't mom alone. We have Jesus who can transform your mothering experience into one of peace, joy, and victory. And we have grace to remind and encourage you that you are not alone! You are empowered by God! You were handpicked for those kiddos and you've got this because God's got you.

Motherhood can be isolating and overwhelming. We feel the pressure to be perfect, look perfect, and produce perfect children all on our own. But that is unattainable. We are not meant to do this alone! I Moms can be empowered by God, supported by others, and connected with their children. With encouragement and insight, you can foster the key relationships you need to be the mom you want to be so we DON’T MOM ALONE.

Craving Peace? How Sabbath and Nature Can Restore Your Soul :: Eryn Lynum [Ep 524]

Sabbath rest nature spirituality family rhythms Shabbat Selah pauses God's creation Jesus and nature ancient truths
Today Eryn Lynum joins me to share about the beautiful connection between nature and rest. Sabbath has become such a hot topic right now but Eryn had to learn from age 14 how to rest like her life depended on it when she was diagnosed with Addison's disease. She is now a homeschooling mom of four, a master naturalist, author, and business owner. Her family is committed to their family values and weekly sabbath amid a very full life. She reminds us of some deep ancient truths that God created us to fully live and gives us tools to find new rhythms. We explore:
  • How Jesus taught through nature
  • The meaning of “Shabbat” — to stop and to delight
  • How to build in Selah pauses (even if you only have 5 minutes!)
  • God meant for the sabbath to be a celebration, not a stuffy rule following day 
  • Rest is the perfection of vital activity- what is vital in this season for your family

children's books anxiety strong-willed kids parenting resilience friendships failure
Today our favorite counselors, David Thomas and Sissy Goff, are back to talk about their new project- children’s books! So much has happened over the last few years and they are beginning to see the onset of anxiety drop to age 6 from 8 years old previously. They created these books to give kids the words and emotional tools to do hard things and decrease anxiety, including a golden retriever feelings chart. As usual, they pack so much advice into every moment, here are some things we cover:



  • Escape and Avoidance vs. Support and Challenge in parenting 
  • Connect over correction- we lose connections when we try to control the environment
  • Kids are becoming less resilient-  they learn they are capable by experience
  • How to help an introverted child with friendships
  • How to be a good loser- turn it into something constructive
  • How to understand your strong-willed child
  • Why teen boys are not taking risks
