:: ::

Key Conversation Points:

  • Lisa-Jo's son passionately said, "Now listen, it's not as bad as you think." Mothers everywhere clutch their pearls at these words.
  • The invisible work that no one sees matters.  Find solidarity in this episode for the work you do, whether you have kids or not. 
  • Bearing witness to a human's life is a heavy gift. We can pause with intentional reflection but not give into the quicksand of hopelessness. 
  • The richest, best blessings cost us. 
  • There's no promise from God if you do X,Y, Z and 1, 2, 3 then everything will be okay. 
  • "The Weight of Memory" by Shawn Smucker is mentioned in this podcast.
