Brooke McGlothlin has become a favorite resource for all things praying for your kids. Her interviews in episodes 27 and 42 were some of the most listened to here on the Boy Mom Podcast, and she is back with more inspiration today. Brooke’s brand new book, Praying Mom: Making Prayer Your First and Best Response to Parenting, just came out and we get a sneak peek into some of the awesome content in the book. Brooke has such a friendly, encouraging tone, I know

Treading Boldly Through a Pornographic World {Episode-113}
Hey Friends. Ok, so maybe I've said this before, but I really mean it: This podcast episode is sooo important. I would put this week's episode at the top of the list of most important Boy Mom episodes to listen to! As we are wrapping up my summer mini-series on Boys and Technology, today we dive into the most concerning issue related to boys and devices: Pornography. Josh Glaser and Daniel Weiss, authors of Treading Boldly through a Pornographic World, join me to
All Q & A: From Homeschooling to the Vaccine, to Parenting A-Z! {Ep.109 with Jonah}
A Q&A episode and last week's giveaway winner announced at the bottom! Aloha Friends! For the past few months I have been saving up questions sent in from blog readers and podcast listeners, and this week I finally get to tackle a bunch of them! I wish I could have covered more, but it already got long! 😜 Not sure if I need to do more of these (in shorter segments perhaps!?) or how I can respond better, but I do enjoy these episodes, and my listeners tell me they do,
End of Spring Coffee Date, 2021
Join me today for coffee, photos, updates, and a giveaway! Oh and some pretty stars, too... Happy June, my friends... And Wow...look how 2021 is flying by! I seriously just looked at my own website trying to remember when exactly I published my "End of Winter Coffee Date" post...only to find that...I didn't. 😌 Nope. My last Coffee Date post was last fall, and I just don't have a good explanation for that. After years of blogging 3-4 times a week (I REALLY DID THAT!) I
Where the (Character) Magic Happens. And Happy Podcast Birthday! {Episode 108}
Aloha! This week we celebrate TWO YEARS of the Boy Mom Podcast! (how could that be!?) And this week's short, solo episode feels like the perfect way to celebrate... You hear me talk about character a lot around here, but some of you may feel like I did when I was a younger mom: I heard so many of the more seasoned moms talking about "just focus on your child's character" and oftentimes it seemed so vague and confusing. What did that even mean? 😉 Did it mean don't
Timeless Parenting Wisdom {Episode-107 with Chrys Howard}
Do you ever wish you had a wise mentor -- someone with life experience that might pour into you and your family? It seems like whenever I am gathered with a group of young moms, the topic of mentors come up...And while some women are blessed to have a wise mentor in their life, oftentimes I hear them say how they only WISH they had someone like that. I would love to see more connecting between the generations, and that is something I think we can all work on -- in our churches
Help for Overcoming Destructive Mommy Anger {Episode 106 with Natalie Hixson}
There is no doubt: Mommy anger was my biggest struggle in my early years of parenting. Like a lot of women, I didn't know I had an anger problem until I became a mom. 😉 My anger made me feel ashamed and alone. Though I overcame this pattern of parenting, I will always regret the times it hurt my relationship with my kids. After years of writing and getting to know moms all over the world, I realize that this is a common issue...even if it is one that is hard it is to talk
How to Avoid Mothers’ Day Disappointment {Episode 104}
A special Mothers' Day episode + giveaway winners announced at the very bottom! Hey Friends! Happy Mothers' Day Week! However you feel going into this weekend, I'm here for you! Because there is no doubt: Mothers' Day can be a mixed bag. We moms are typically the orchestrators-of-all-things-family-and-celebration, and when it comes to a holiday all about us...? Well, it can get tricky! I have learned some good (even if hard) lessons over the years, and
