276. Motherhood and Mental Health, Part 1

Today's Heartlift with Janell

This conversation is more than just a chat; it's a guiding light for mothers seeking solace and understanding amid their spiritual and parental odyssey. We learn of the five steps of spiritual transformation highlighted in "Moms at the Well: Meeting God Through the Mothers of Scripture--a 7-Week Bible Study Experience. Authors Kathy Tuan-McLean and Tara Edelschick share—ranging from the loss of a child to the power of Scripture in an increasingly digital age—resonate with a raw honesty that speaks to the heart of every listener. Their insights encourage us to cling to the tangible presence of faith, even when the storm clouds of parenting loom large.
Our episode invites mothers everywhere to open up about the struggles that often remain unvoiced. We discuss the impact of anger, the legacy of generational trauma, and the quest for spiritual growth that can emerge from the darkest times. By exploring scriptural stories and modern-day challenges, we highlight the potential for healing and personal responsibility in breaking free from the past. This episode doesn't just offer comfort—it's a call to action for mothers to become agents of shalom in their own lives and the lives of their families, to join us in sharing their stories, and to believe in the transformative power of motherhood to change our world. Join us on this profound journey, and let's uplift one another in this sacred role.
