Have you ever laid awake at night and asked yourself, “Why do other moms seem to have it all together when I’m over here exhausted and overwhelmed? Will I ever figure this mom thing out and feel like I’m enough for my kids? When does the worry end?”

If you have, you're not alone. We all struggle with feeling this way. Today my special guests  are Shelby Spear and Lisa La/shaw who have written the book “How are You Feeling, Momma? (you don’t need to say, “I’m fine.) Authentic & Encouraging Psalm Reflections on the Many Emotions of Motherhood.”
