Community Support and Encouragement for Moms

Speaker
I love community. I love collaboration. I love creating communities of moms. And so we are going to be doing that together, hopefully helping us all just remember that this is not easy.
00:04:09
Speaker
but that we absolutely can't do it. And you have your kids for a reason. Your kids were given you as their mom for a reason. And if we could just breathe into that and remember that we're supposed to be their mom.
00:04:25
Speaker
and we're all just doing the best that we can. So we're gonna let go of mom judgment. We're gonna let go of anything anyone has said to us that's made us feel judged, because I know I've had that happen too, and we are going to be in this together. All right, please stay tuned for episode number two. Lots of tidbits coming up, coming your way. I appreciate so much of you listening. Thank you, and I will see you soon.
