100. Life-Long Learning, Purpose, & Discernment

<p><strong>Exciting Announcement: The Elevating Motherhood Patreon page launches on April 1, 2021!</strong></p> <p>Search for “Elevating Motherhood” on <a href="http://www.patreon.com/">www.patreon.com</a></p> <p>When I started this podcast, I set the intention to reach episodes in the 100s. Episode 1 says “001” because I was determined to get to the 100s. And 001 is now 100 today! I’m so thrilled. Slow and steady got me to 100.</p> <p>You know how you think you know what that’s going to look like? Or picture it as a big celebration or something and here I am sitting in my closet recording the episode because my office flooded and we had to rip out all the carpet and now it’s empty and bare. It’s fine.</p> <p>Perspective, right? Unexpected remodel, but we work for ourselves so we can. I’ll have a beautiful office space when it’s done and well, we’re capable of handling it. If nothing else all of life’s curveballs combined with a can-do, life-long learner attitude have shown us that we can handle anything that comes our way. We will be tested and in the broad scheme of things that tested us this week, an office remodel is seriously a cake walk.</p> <p>Episode 100 feels like a cake walk compared to the nerves I had over the first 30 episodes. Oh my gosh. If you could have seen me fumbling and nervous when recording technology was still new to me and I had a guest on the line and couldn’t figure things out compared to me casually recording in my closet in my jammies last minute. Night and day. I feel like a different person. That’s the power of slow and steady and learning grace.</p> <p><strong>Learned so much about motherhood</strong></p> <p>· I am not the same person I was before starting this podcast.</p> <p>· I feel resourced and more confident. I’m changed by all of the books I read and authors I interviewed.</p> <p>· I’m a better listener, a more compassionate friend,</p> <p>· Power of asking questions</p> <p><strong>Learned so much about myself:</strong></p> <p>· There is no one size fits all answer</p> <p>·
