Show notes

You really like your kids (most of the time). But the backtalk, crunchy kitchen floor, and nonstop "Mom!" can find you crying in the pantry. This raw Mother’s Day panel with Ann Wilson and other moms goes where most won’t—lost kids, short fuses, quiet guilt. It’s honest, unfiltered, and aimed straight at the overwhelmed mom wondering if she’s the only one muscling through every. Day.

Real Mom Advice: Welcome to the No Judgment Zone--Mom Panel Discussion May 11, 2026

Show notes

You’re running on a single REM cycle, behind on laundry, and wondering if you’re the only barely holding it together in the freezer aisle. This Mother’s Day panel with Ann Wilson and real moms ditches the filters—to talk about lost kids, lost tempers, lost control. It’s the kind of mom advice that doesn’t pretend you’ve got it handled, but meets you there in your unwashed T-shirt and says, “Yeah… this is motherhood.”

Centering on Jesus When Life (and Shame) are Loud: Andrea Griffith May 07, 2026

Show notes

You know (most of) the right answers for your heart's questions—but laundry piles, secret shame, and nonstop noise keep drowning them out. Author Andrea Griffith gets brutally honest about hiding sin, chasing control, and what finally broke her cycle of shame. Rather than fronting a polished faith, find the space Scripture meets real life and freedom starts by dragging what’s hidden into the light.
