047: God-Centered Motherhood with Heather MacFadyen

Heather MacFadyen, wife, mama of 4 boys, and host of the popular God Centered Mom(now known as the Don't Mom Alone) podcast joins me on the Home and Hearth podcast to chat about God-centered motherhood and what that looks like practically-speaking.

What we Chat about in This Episode

~Heather's podcast journey at God Centered Mom

~The reason we are not meant to "mom alone"

~Rather than seeking to strike a life/work/mom  "balance", instead focusing on boundaries on your time

~The lie that you are "missing out" as a mom, and the truth that being smack dab in the middle of God's will keeps you from ever being able to "miss out"

~Wisdom for disciplining toddlers

~Why consistency in discipline is not always feasible across children

~Discipline as shaping a heart, not merely wanting to control our children and getting them to do what we want

~Dealing with very persistent children

~Parenting strong-willed (or strong- spirited!) children

~The Inside Out Approach to Parenting; reaching the heart and validating and understanding feelings

~What God is teaching Heather through motherhood right now in this season

~Tips for how busy mamas can still prioritize their marriages

~What it looks like for Heather to be a truly God-centered mom and to make the time to meet with the Lord

~And more!
