  Calling All Mama Bears with Jessica Brassington

  Sep 29, 202658 minS7

  My guest today is Jessica Brassington, founder of Mama Bears Rising, a grassroots movement helping moms with the issues that matter most to their families. Her motto is simple: informed, not influenced. What started as one mother's conviction has grown into a national advocacy effort, taking her all the way to Washington DC to push for real policy change. Jessica talks about how she built a movement from the ground up, and why she believes moms deserve the facts, not the noise, on everything from child safety to the issues shaping their kids' futures.

  Poetic Motherhood: Truth Before Beauty with Laura Wifler

  Sep 15, 202652 minS7

  Laura Wifler is a mother, author, and exceptional conversationalist (which shouldn't be surprising, considering she used to host the Risen Motherhood podcast with her sister in law). Laura's debut poetry book, This Side of The Sky , explores the aches of living in a world that feels both heavy and holy. Candid without unraveling and hopeful without glossing over pain, these pages give words to what you struggle to name, while gently reorienting your heart toward hope. “Being made in the image of God means that you have inherent dignity, worth, and a value no matter who you are.” Laura Wifler This episode was one of the most refreshing conversations I've had in a while regarding the gritty truth of motherhood, the importance of community, and how our stories can take shape in the lives of generations to come.

  From Lyme to Legacy: A Mother's Perspective with Jody Hudson

  Sep 1, 202654 minS7

  When Jody Hudson’s 11 year-old daughter, Alex, first complained that her legs hurt, it was assumed it was simply growing pains. What followed was a 10-year battle with a mysterious illness, more than 40 doctors, multiple misdiagnoses, and a desperate cross-country search for answers that finally led to a diagnosis of Lyme disease. Through unimaginable physical suffering, Alex clung to her faith and chose to trust God, while Jody fought alongside her and eventually took up Alex’s mission to advocate for others with Lyme disease after her daughter’s passing. In her award-winning memoir My Promise to Alex , Jody weaves Alex’s story together with her own journey through abandonment, foster care, adoption, and divorce, offering a powerful testimony of a mother’s love, enduring faith, and hope that reaches beyond this life.
