Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, hey, mamas, welcome back to Conquering Chaos
.
A mom's guide to self-care andsanity.
I'm your host, sydney Crowe,and today we have Kylie
Schneider from Wisconsin.
Kylie is a mom first andforemost, but she is also an
entrepreneur and has created theministry called YANA, which
stands for you Are Never Alone.
She has faced numeroushardships throughout her life
(00:20):
and believes that everyexperience shapes her into the
person that she is today andthat they haven't been in vain.
Her faith is incrediblyimportant and it guides her
every single day.
Her heart's on a missionbesides being a mother is to
ensure that nobody ever feelshopeless or alone and that
everyone discovers a personalrelationship with our Heavenly
(00:41):
Father.
Welcome, kylie.
Hi, I am so grateful thatyou're here today.
You know you guys, you and I,have been connecting a little
bit over the last couple monthswhen just I love your service,
servant heart first and foremost.
So thank you for being here andbeing able to share with our
listeners.
Why don't you just telleverybody kind of who you are
(01:04):
and what you're all about?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah, so, as you said , I am a mom first and foremost.
So I just apologize ahead oftime.
I have my daughter next to me.
She's teething, I think, inthose two-year-old molars, so
she's, she's glued to mom.
But, yes, I'm a mom first andforemost.
You know.
I, god, really put it on myheart about a year ago to start.
You know I'm calling it aministry because it truly is
that to me, yana, and so itstands, for you are never alone.
(01:28):
It is really a calling toensure that people that are
stuck in bondage, any peoplethat are going through things
and really feel hopeless, findhope.
And so you know I am trustingGod fully with where he's
leading me with this.
I believe, like you had said,that we go through hard things
in life to really find ourpurpose.
(01:48):
You know, in our pain we findour purpose.
So I'm, step by step, walkingdaily through this and figuring
out you know where he's exactlyleading me.
But he's really bringing mepeople from all over that really
need just that the hope andreally a direction to go in, and
so I'm so excited to see whatis to come of that.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
That's really lovely.
I mean the way that youdescribed it to me, and I'm
going to try to pry a little bitmore out of you, because we
were chatting before we launchedthis episode, but you said that
you know you really wentthrough a lot of stuff in the
beginning.
Do you want to open up a littlebit about that?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Sure, you know I came from very humble beginnings.
I was born into a family whereI was with a single mom and I
didn't know my biological father.
You know, I really had maybe ahandful of memories of him.
One of them that really stuckwith me throughout my life was
him leaving.
And so, you know, I really,from a young age, believed the
(02:49):
lie, that I wasn't worthy and Iwas alone.
And you know, I, looking backnow at the mature, healthy,
whole place that I'm in now, canlook at it for what it was, and
I really think that mybiological mom was in a plane, a
brokenness, you know, and shechose a bad relationship and so
I grew up in that environment,in abuse, you know.
(03:10):
And you know, I believe that werepeat cycles until we know and
we learn and we get out of them, and I truly believe that I am
that chain breaker.
So you so, if you want to callit, and so the majority of my
life, you know I, I grew up inreally really hard times.
When I was 13, I ran away fromhome.
(03:31):
Um, you know, the best I canexplain it is I just really
trusted this inner voice, whichnow I know to be Holy Spirit.
But I I listened to this voiceinside of me saying you know,
just just get out and walk.
And so the day that I left Ijust got out and I really
started walking and you knowyears and lots of trials and
(03:51):
going through, you know, I endedup getting arrested by the
state technically, and theyplaced me with some of my
adopted relatives who ended upadopting me and taking me in and
at that point, whenever Ireally got secured into that
home, I was already 15.
And I had a few years ofnormalcy, if so you'd call it
and I really found myrelationship with Christ in
(04:16):
those core years that I had as ateenager.
One of my best friends invitedme to church and so I went to
church with her and you know Ireally craved that Wednesday and
Sunday.
You know my relationship withGod and I couldn't really
explain it at the time, what,what it really was, but I became
a worship leader and I wasreally connected to the church
(04:36):
in that, in that environment.
And when I was 17 years old, myfriend, on a way to snowball
dance we were all going to thedance Her and my other friend
got hit by a conversion van andwhen the van hit them, my friend
Sarah passed away and it brokeup my whole friend group.
It was very devastating, one ofthe hardest things to go
(04:57):
through.
And I think I found that placewith God where I was like why
would you allow something elsebad to happen in my life, you
know, why would you know?
And so I went into this placewhere, you know, I just kind of
started going deeper and deeperinto the sadness of life and
things.
And I graduated and I went tocollege and I think I did what
(05:19):
the world tends to view as just,you know, getting into the
college atmosphere and partyingand drinking.
And you know, for me I really Igot lost, we'll just say.
And I got into a relationshipand I ended up having my son,
jackson, who's who is the loveof my life.
You know, I really I thank Godfor him so much.
(05:42):
But I had him so, so young,right, and when he was born he
was born with anomaly of hiscoronary arteries and the doctor
said that, you know, hewouldn't live past eight and it
was terrifying.
For the first five years of hislife the doctor said that they
didn't really think he was goingto make it and they didn't know
how to fix them.
And so, you know, I think thatI always was feeling this
(06:04):
pressure of the world and really, really alone.
And then I I did what I learned,right, I tried getting into
relationships or filling thisvoid with inside of me whether
it would have been with with menor, you know, drinking or
whatever, whatever it was in themoment.
You know that I could try tofill this gap inside of me and
(06:26):
nothing really worked.
And so you know, there'sthere's a whole lot of this
story that that's not.
You know I'm not able to reallylike describe all in a podcast
session, but you know, godreally was faithful to me.
He really stayed after me.
And you know, god really wasfaithful to me.
He really stayed after me.
And you know, me and Jackson'sdad never stayed together.
(06:46):
We were able to co-parent, youknow, as best we could.
We didn't always get along thebest, but when Jackson was about
five years old, I had gotten toanother relationship and you
know, at first I thought it wasthe best thing in the whole
world and that fast went south.
And so, you know, I was in thisreally abusive place, this
(07:08):
really abusive relationship formajority of my 20s and really
looking for answers and help.
Honestly, I didn't know how totalk about it.
You know I was in in a lot ofdespair and leaving a lot of it
out.
Long story short, I ended upgetting out of that abusive
(07:30):
relationship.
There were some divineinterventions that happened in
my life and God really put hishands in the situation that I
was in and you know it took mefully surrendering my life to
start really finding the way outof that.
That wasn't the easiest, itwasn't always pretty.
(07:51):
You know I've made a lot ofmistakes but you know I truly
believe that everything that Iwent through and I learned was
to equip me to be the bestversion of myself and to use
those tools and things to toturn around and be a better mom,
to be a better.
You know, friend, daughter,whatever you want to, you know
(08:14):
call me and whatever it hasduring that time.
But you know, a few years ago Ireally was at this place with
God like where are you reallytaking what?
What is all this for?
And that's really whenever hestarted to put Yana on my heart.
And you know, my mission inlife, honestly, is to save
(08:35):
people from the hardships that Iwent through.
If I can and I shouldn't saysay, but you know really guide
and direct and really if I cangive them a fast track to the
answers that took me so long tofind, yeah, and really tell them
about my relationship withChrist and what that means to me
and really restore hope, thatis that is what Yana is, that's
(09:00):
what my heart is.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
So that was kind of a long answer, not the best, but
to give you a brief overviewyeah, I mean, well, I I think
it's really important that youhighlight you know where you
started and and how you got toyana today, because it hasn't
been an easy journey for you.
And, like you said, I mean ifyou can take your hardships and
your journey and empower otherwomen, other moms, to maybe fast
(09:26):
track their journey a littlebit so that they're not in that
for as long as you were, it is areally powerful way to pay
things forward and I love thatyou have been able to lean in
and trust him and his guidanceand he's been able to deliver in
and trust him and his guidanceand and he's been able to
deliver this for you.
So, when you hear Yana and whenyou picture this moving forward
(09:50):
, what can listeners expect fromthat?
And you yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So you know I have a podcast that's coming.
I really feel that it's reallyimportant to share testimonies.
I think it's really importantthat everybody, especially in
the day and age that we live,where it seems like social media
and things are always likeeveryone has it so together and
so perfect or, you know, theirlives are so glamorized I guess
(10:16):
you would call it but I feellike it's so important God's
really put it on my heart toshare the truth.
You know, like sometimes thingsaren't always pretty.
(10:43):
You know, sometimes you know Iam so grateful if I did a load
of laundry and, you know, gotthe dishes done that day on.
You know the hardships thatpeople go through and what they
actually experienced.
And my heart, you know, I knowthis isn't for everyone, maybe,
but my heart is to really sharemy experience with the Lord and
really get that out.
Because I think it's weird forsome, you know I've gotten a lot
of persecution, like peoplecalling me, like, oh, you're
(11:04):
just a Jesus freak.
Like you're such a Jesus freak,like you think you're better
now because you like and it'slike no, but I am a Jesus freak
in a way.
To me it's like, you know, onceI really read the Bible and I
really started my relationshipwith God and letting him work on
my life and learned who, aboutwho he was.
Yeah, like now I'm like, oh mygosh, I wish I would have known
(11:24):
this like my whole life, youknow, and why wouldn't you?
And I want everyone toexperience that.
So that's really my heart, likesharing testimonies and and
allowing other people to sharetheirs.
And you know, there's so muchjudgment going on in the world,
you know.
I think there's a lot ofconfusion and fear and I really
want to be a catalyst to stopthat.
(11:45):
Like.
I think I think that we reallyget to start being in a place
where we're really hearing eachother right and we're really
like stepping out of fear.
And so that leads me to theother part of what I'm doing
with Yana.
So I started this six weekjourney right now where I'm
leading people through the ofGod Bible study.
John Bevere and his wife aretwo people that I like just
(12:08):
really look up to honestly asspiritual mentors, if you call
it that.
You know, there's not very manypeople I follow in this world,
but I really I really appreciatewhat they teach and and just
their walk, and so we're goingthrough this Bible study where
really it's an experience, youknow, it's really learning what
(12:29):
a healthy fear of the Lord isand what that does for your life
, and so for that, for right now, is really what we're deep,
deep diving into In the future.
I do see programs you you know,coming from abuse and being in
an abusive situation myself.
I would really like to dosomething catered around women
specifically and single moms.
(12:49):
You know, like um, just beingthrough the judicial system and
you know how much the hard timesmolded and affected my life.
Like I was really in this placeof desperation where I didn't
know where to get help and I sawthe hand of God work on my life
and put the right people in mylife.
(13:10):
But I know that's not the storyfor everyone and that doesn't
take away from how hard it was.
But I do believe that God knewI, I've just I've been made to.
I guess whenever I go throughsomething in life, the first
thing I automatically think ishow do I teach this to someone
else?
Like that's just who God'screated me to be, and so I think
that he allowed me toexperience this extreme amount
(13:35):
of hardship and pain in thisfrom choices that I made, of
course you know.
But to be able to turn aroundand help someone else that I
made, of course you know, but tobe able to turn around and help
someone else and so so, yeah,I'd really like to, you know
help other women.
And you know I have thesevisions and dreams, if you call
it, where you know, I would likeone day to be able to open up
orphanage, orphanages,orphanages even.
(13:58):
You know, I had this, thisdream, since I was really little
.
I used to watch the OprahWinfrey show you know, I had
three channels growing up and Iremember this story where she
was able to go in and buy allthese kids these Christmas
presents.
And these kids hadn't gotpresents.
You know some, maybe never, butthe best part about the story
(14:18):
is when she said that she puteach one of their names on it
and gave it to them, and thenjust the looks on their faces.
I don't know.
There's something about thatstory that has stuck with me my
whole life, because to me it'slike it's not even about the
gift, it's about theacknowledgement, it's about that
little child, like knowing that, oh my gosh, like somebody sees
me.
(14:38):
You know, and I remember likethat my whole life and holding
on to that and then experiencesthat I've been through, that my
heart is really for children andto really give them a better
start, give them more hope anddirection and just even that
guidance and love.
So I hope that answers yourquestion.
(15:01):
There's a lot of differentthings you know on my heart
really to do, but first andforemost it's just really
trusting God every single day toopen that door and guide.
And you know, as we said fromthe beginning, be a mom.
You know I'm so grateful to Godthat he has allowed me to be in
this season where I've come outon the other side and I'm able
(15:24):
to love my kids.
It's almost like I went throughthis transformation not almost
like I went through thistransformation and now I'm this
like different mom that's ableto pour into my kids in the way
that they need to.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Kylie, you have such a beautiful heart and I know
that we've got really big thingsin store, so we'll make sure
that we have your contactinformation below so that people
can start to follow you and getinvolved Moving forward.
I guess is there one last pieceof advice that you would like
for the moms to know out there,given your journey and where
your heart stands and these bigthings that you have in store,
(16:01):
what's the one piece of advicethat you want everyone listening
to know?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
To reach out.
You know, really to know andmaybe this sounds cliche, but
like you truly really are neveralone.
You know that our heavenlyfather loves us so much but also
like to use your voice and askfor help, because that door will
be opened.
You know, and I realizedbecause I went through it, there
(16:27):
was a time in my life that Ididn't know exactly where, but
when I literally likesurrendered my life to God and
was like God, please show me away he really did.
He you know, and it was, it wasme trusting, and it wasn't
always easy, it was reallyreally hard, but it was so worth
it.
And so, yeah, it would be to toto not listen to that lie from
(16:49):
the enemy that you're stuck andthat you're alone and there's no
way out, because there's alwaysa way out, there's always a
door, there's always someonethat is there that can help.
You know, and really it startswith and this is my my
experience it starts with andthis is my my experience it
starts with the relationshipwith Jesus.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I love that so much.
Well, thank you so much forbeing here, kylie, and thank you
guys for tuning into today'sepisode, where we help you
conquer the chaos, one day at atime.
Hey, hey, mamas, welcome back to Conquering Chaos
.
A mom's guide to self-care andsanity.
I'm your host, sydney Crowe,and today we have Kylie
Schneider from Wisconsin.
Kylie is a mom first andforemost, but she is also an
entrepreneur and has created theministry called YANA, which
stands for you Are Never Alone.
She has faced numeroushardships throughout her life
(00:20):
and believes that everyexperience shapes her into the
person that she is today andthat they haven't been in vain.
Her faith is incrediblyimportant and it guides her
every single day.
Her heart's on a missionbesides being a mother is to
ensure that nobody ever feelshopeless or alone and that
everyone discovers a personalrelationship with our Heavenly
(00:41):
Father.
Welcome, kylie.
Hi, I am so grateful thatyou're here today.
You know you guys, you and I,have been connecting a little
bit over the last couple monthswhen just I love your service,
servant heart first and foremost.
So thank you for being here andbeing able to share with our
listeners.
Why don't you just telleverybody kind of who you are
(01:04):
and what you're all about?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah, so, as you said , I am a mom first and foremost.
So I just apologize ahead oftime.
I have my daughter next to me.
She's teething, I think, inthose two-year-old molars, so
she's, she's glued to mom.
But, yes, I'm a mom first andforemost.
You know.
I, god, really put it on myheart about a year ago to start.
You know I'm calling it aministry because it truly is
that to me, yana, and so itstands, for you are never alone.
(01:28):
It is really a calling toensure that people that are
stuck in bondage, any peoplethat are going through things
and really feel hopeless, findhope.
And so you know I am trustingGod fully with where he's
leading me with this.
I believe, like you had said,that we go through hard things
in life to really find ourpurpose.
(01:48):
You know, in our pain we findour purpose.
So I'm, step by step, walkingdaily through this and figuring
out you know where he's exactlyleading me.
But he's really bringing mepeople from all over that really
need just that the hope andreally a direction to go in, and
so I'm so excited to see whatis to come of that.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
That's really lovely.
I mean the way that youdescribed it to me, and I'm
going to try to pry a little bitmore out of you, because we

I really think that mybiological mom was in a plane, a

I grew up in that environment,in abuse, you know.
(03:10):
And you know, I believe that werepeat cycles until we know and
we learn and we get out of them, and I truly believe that I am
that chain breaker.
So you so, if you want to callit, and so the majority of my

When I was 13, I ran away fromhome.
(03:31):
Um, you know, the best I canexplain it is I just really

But I I listened to this voiceinside of me saying you know,

And so the day that I left Ijust got out and I really
started walking and you knowyears and lots of trials and
(03:51):
going through, you know, I endedup getting arrested by the

adopted relatives who ended upadopting me and taking me in and
at that point, whenever Ireally got secured into that
home, I was already 15.
And I had a few years ofnormalcy, if so you'd call it
and I really found myrelationship with Christ in

One of my best friends invitedme to church and so I went to

You know my relationship withGod and I couldn't really

It was very devastating, one ofthe hardest things to go

And I think I found that placewith God where I was like why

And so I went into this placewhere, you know, I just kind of
started going deeper and deeperinto the sadness of life and
things.
And I graduated and I went tocollege and I think I did what
(05:19):
the world tends to view as just,you know, getting into the
college atmosphere and partyingand drinking.
And you know, for me I really Igot lost, we'll just say.
And I got into a relationshipand I ended up having my son,
jackson, who's who is the loveof my life.
You know, I really I thank Godfor him so much.
(05:42):
But I had him so, so young,right, and when he was born he
was born with anomaly of hiscoronary arteries and the doctor
said that, you know, hewouldn't live past eight and it
was terrifying.
For the first five years of hislife the doctor said that they
didn't really think he was goingto make it and they didn't know
how to fix them.
And so, you know, I think thatI always was feeling this
(06:04):
pressure of the world and really, really alone.
And then I I did what I learned,right, I tried getting into
relationships or filling thisvoid with inside of me whether
it would have been with with menor, you know, drinking or
whatever, whatever it was in themoment.
You know that I could try tofill this gap inside of me and
(06:26):
nothing really worked.
And so you know, there'sthere's a whole lot of this
story that that's not.
You know I'm not able to reallylike describe all in a podcast
session, but you know, godreally was faithful to me.
He really stayed after me.
And you know, god really wasfaithful to me.
He really stayed after me.
And you know, me and Jackson'sdad never stayed together.
(06:46):
We were able to co-parent, youknow, as best we could.
We didn't always get along thebest, but when Jackson was about
five years old, I had gotten toanother relationship and you
know, at first I thought it wasthe best thing in the whole
world and that fast went south.
And so, you know, I was in thisreally abusive place, this
(07:08):
really abusive relationship formajority of my 20s and really
looking for answers and help.
Honestly, I didn't know how totalk about it.
You know I was in in a lot ofdespair and leaving a lot of it
out.
Long story short, I ended upgetting out of that abusive
(07:30):
relationship.
There were some divineinterventions that happened in
my life and God really put hishands in the situation that I
was in and you know it took mefully surrendering my life to
start really finding the way outof that.
That wasn't the easiest, itwasn't always pretty.
(07:51):
You know I've made a lot ofmistakes but you know I truly
believe that everything that Iwent through and I learned was
to equip me to be the bestversion of myself and to use
those tools and things to toturn around and be a better mom,
to be a better.
You know, friend, daughter,whatever you want to, you know
(08:14):
call me and whatever it hasduring that time.
But you know, a few years ago Ireally was at this place with
God like where are you reallytaking what?
What is all this for?
And that's really whenever hestarted to put Yana on my heart.
And you know, my mission inlife, honestly, is to save
(08:35):
people from the hardships that Iwent through.
If I can and I shouldn't saysay, but you know really guide
and direct and really if I cangive them a fast track to the
answers that took me so long tofind, yeah, and really tell them
about my relationship withChrist and what that means to me
and really restore hope, thatis that is what Yana is, that's
(09:00):
what my heart is.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
So that was kind of a long answer, not the best, but
to give you a brief overviewyeah, I mean, well, I I think
it's really important that youhighlight you know where you
started and and how you got toyana today, because it hasn't
been an easy journey for you.
And, like you said, I mean ifyou can take your hardships and
your journey and empower otherwomen, other moms, to maybe fast
(09:26):
track their journey a littlebit so that they're not in that
for as long as you were, it is areally powerful way to pay
things forward and I love thatyou have been able to lean in
and trust him and his guidanceand he's been able to deliver in
and trust him and his guidanceand and he's been able to
deliver this for you.
So, when you hear Yana and whenyou picture this moving forward
(09:50):
, what can listeners expect fromthat?
And you yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So you know I have a podcast that's coming.
I really feel that it's reallyimportant to share testimonies.
I think it's really importantthat everybody, especially in
the day and age that we live,where it seems like social media
and things are always likeeveryone has it so together and
so perfect or, you know, theirlives are so glamorized I guess
(10:16):
you would call it but I feellike it's so important God's
really put it on my heart toshare the truth.
You know, like sometimes thingsaren't always pretty.
(10:43):
You know, sometimes you know Iam so grateful if I did a load
of laundry and, you know, gotthe dishes done that day on.
You know the hardships thatpeople go through and what they
actually experienced.
And my heart, you know, I knowthis isn't for everyone, maybe,
but my heart is to really sharemy experience with the Lord and
really get that out.
Because I think it's weird forsome, you know I've gotten a lot
of persecution, like peoplecalling me, like, oh, you're
(11:04):
just a Jesus freak.
Like you're such a Jesus freak,like you think you're better
now because you like and it'slike no, but I am a Jesus freak
in a way.
To me it's like, you know, onceI really read the Bible and I
really started my relationshipwith God and letting him work on
my life and learned who, aboutwho he was.
Yeah, like now I'm like, oh mygosh, I wish I would have known
(11:24):
this like my whole life, youknow, and why wouldn't you?
And I want everyone toexperience that.
So that's really my heart, likesharing testimonies and and
allowing other people to sharetheirs.
And you know, there's so muchjudgment going on in the world,
you know.
I think there's a lot ofconfusion and fear and I really
want to be a catalyst to stopthat.
(11:45):
Like.
I think I think that we reallyget to start being in a place
where we're really hearing eachother right and we're really
like stepping out of fear.
And so that leads me to theother part of what I'm doing
with Yana.
So I started this six weekjourney right now where I'm
leading people through the ofGod Bible study.
John Bevere and his wife aretwo people that I like just
(12:08):
really look up to honestly asspiritual mentors, if you call
it that.
You know, there's not very manypeople I follow in this world,
but I really I really appreciatewhat they teach and and just
their walk, and so we're goingthrough this Bible study where
really it's an experience, youknow, it's really learning what
(12:29):
a healthy fear of the Lord isand what that does for your life
, and so for that, for right now, is really what we're deep,
deep diving into In the future.
I do see programs you you know,coming from abuse and being in
an abusive situation myself.
I would really like to dosomething catered around women
specifically and single moms.
(12:49):
You know, like um, just beingthrough the judicial system and
you know how much the hard timesmolded and affected my life.
Like I was really in this placeof desperation where I didn't
know where to get help and I sawthe hand of God work on my life
and put the right people in mylife.
(13:10):
But I know that's not the storyfor everyone and that doesn't
take away from how hard it was.
But I do believe that God knewI, I've just I've been made to.
I guess whenever I go throughsomething in life, the first
thing I automatically think ishow do I teach this to someone
else?
Like that's just who God'screated me to be, and so I think
that he allowed me toexperience this extreme amount
(13:35):
of hardship and pain in thisfrom choices that I made, of
course you know.
But to be able to turn aroundand help someone else that I
made, of course you know, but tobe able to turn around and help
someone else and so so, yeah,I'd really like to, you know
help other women.
And you know I have thesevisions and dreams, if you call
it, where you know, I would likeone day to be able to open up
orphanage, orphanages,orphanages even.
(13:58):
You know, I had this, thisdream, since I was really little
.
I used to watch the OprahWinfrey show you know, I had
three channels growing up and Iremember this story where she
was able to go in and buy allthese kids these Christmas
presents.
And these kids hadn't gotpresents.
You know some, maybe never, butthe best part about the story
(14:18):
is when she said that she puteach one of their names on it
and gave it to them, and thenjust the looks on their faces.
I don't know.
There's something about thatstory that has stuck with me my
whole life, because to me it'slike it's not even about the
gift, it's about theacknowledgement, it's about that
little child, like knowing that, oh my gosh, like somebody sees
me.
(14:38):
You know, and I remember likethat my whole life and holding
on to that and then experiencesthat I've been through, that my
heart is really for children andto really give them a better
start, give them more hope anddirection and just even that
guidance and love.
So I hope that answers yourquestion.
(15:01):
There's a lot of differentthings you know on my heart
really to do, but first andforemost it's just really
trusting God every single day toopen that door and guide.
And you know, as we said fromthe beginning, be a mom.
You know I'm so grateful to Godthat he has allowed me to be in
this season where I've come outon the other side and I'm able
(15:24):
to love my kids.
It's almost like I went throughthis transformation not almost
like I went through thistransformation and now I'm this
like different mom that's ableto pour into my kids in the way
that they need to.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Kylie, you have such a beautiful heart and I know
that we've got really big thingsin store, so we'll make sure
that we have your contactinformation below so that people
can start to follow you and getinvolved Moving forward.
I guess is there one last pieceof advice that you would like
for the moms to know out there,given your journey and where
your heart stands and these bigthings that you have in store,
(16:01):
what's the one piece of advicethat you want everyone listening
to know?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
To reach out.
You know, really to know andmaybe this sounds cliche, but
like you truly really are neveralone.
You know that our heavenlyfather loves us so much but also
like to use your voice and askfor help, because that door will
be opened.
You know, and I realizedbecause I went through it, there
(16:27):
was a time in my life that Ididn't know exactly where, but
when I literally likesurrendered my life to God and
was like God, please show me away he really did.
He you know, and it was, it wasme trusting, and it wasn't
always easy, it was reallyreally hard, but it was so worth
it.
And so, yeah, it would be to toto not listen to that lie from
(16:49):
the enemy that you're stuck andthat you're alone and there's no
way out, because there's alwaysa way out, there's always a
door, there's always someonethat is there that can help.
You know, and really it startswith and this is my my
experience it starts with andthis is my my experience it
starts with the relationshipwith Jesus.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I love that so much.
Well, thank you so much forbeing here, kylie, and thank you
guys for tuning into today'sepisode, where we help you
conquer the chaos, one day at atime.
