I’M CALLING THIS THE “MOM STRONG” SERIES AND I CAN’T WAIT TO SHARE THE EXCEPTIONAL PARENTING STORIES OF MOM’S JUST LIKE YOU.  EVERY MOTHER I KNOW IS STRONG AND FIERCELY PROTECTIVE OF HER KIDS AND HAS A STORY TO TELL.  

TODAY’S CONVERSATION IS WITH KRISTY WESTROM AN AMAZINGLY COURAGEOUS MOM IN OUR COMMUNITY AND I CAN’T WAIT FOR YOU TO HEAR KRISTY’S MOM STRONG STORY, I’LL BET YOU WILL HEAR SOME OF YOUR OWN STRENGTH’S IN OUR CONVERSATION.

AS I STARTED TO THINK ABOUT WHAT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR MOM PSYCH LISTENERS AS WE START UP THIS ANYTHING BUT NORMAL SCHOOL YEAR, IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT WHAT IS MISSING FOR LOTS OF PARENTS, MOMS IN PARTICULAR, IS A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND CONNECTEDNESS IN THE MIDST OF PARENTING DURING THIS PANDEMIC.  COVID REQUIRES THAT WE SEPARATE AND PHYSICALLY DISTANCE FROM OTHERS BUT WE DESPERATELY NEED EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL CONNECTION TO FUNCTION.

SO I THOUGHT INSTEAD OF ME DOING ALL THE TALKING, IT WOULD BE HELPFUL, SUPPORTIVE AND ENCOURAGING TO SHARE PARENTING STORIES FROM THIS UNIQUE TIME TO INSPIRE AND ENERGIZE EACH OTHER.
