Is it really possible to pursue a dream and motherhood at the same time? I hear a lot of women say they feel called to write a book, launch a podcast, start a business, pursue a speaking or coaching ministry… yet they’re afraid there’s no way they can manage it without sacrificing time or attention for their kids. Family is priority; therefore, their dreams must wait. Or so they fear. But is that really true?
I don’t think so. And neither does my family. In this special episode, you’ll hear from my firstborn daughter (a sophomore in high school now) about what it’s really like to live with a mom who has her head in the clouds (sometimes) or at least in her computer (most of the time), and how that has affected her upbringing. Her answers might surprise you. And they will for sure encourage you.
