What if you didn’t need a parenting manual?

What if you didn’t need a chart or a checklist or someone else’s permission to mother your baby well?

What if… the Holy Spirit and your God-given instincts were enough?

In this week’s podcast episode, I sat down with my friend Elyse Williams, a wise, beautiful mama of 8, to talk about what it really means to mother from a place of peace, presence, and deep trust.

Listening to your maternal instincts can feel impossible in the world that is constantly shouting at us. In this episode of The Discerning Mother, I sit down with Elyse Williams to chat about what instinctual mothering looking like before social media. 

We dive into:

  • A bit of history in the OBGYN's office
  • What to do when people won't stop telling you their opinions
  • Some amazing book recs to help you on your journey
  • ...and more!

This conversation will help you lean into your instincts with renewed confidence and conviction.
