Episode Details

Do you ever go to bed wondering if you did enough as a mom today?

If you've ever second-guessed your parenting, compared yourself to other moms, or felt crushed by the pressure to get motherhood right, this conversation is for you.

In this encouraging episode, Willow sits down with counselor and author Heather Harrison to unpack why so many mothers struggle with shame and self-doubt, and how we can begin to trust ourselves and trust God in the motherhood journey. Heather shares four essential types of trust every mom needs, practical ways to quiet the noise of comparison, and wisdom gathered from hundreds of mothers reflecting on what they wish they had done differently. This episode is a gentle reminder that your children don't need a perfect mom, they need you, present, imperfect, and deeply loved by God.
