254. When your Motherhood Journey Looks Different Than You Planned -- Carol McLeod

Does your motherhood journey look different than you planned? Maybe you have struggled to get pregnant. Perhaps like me, you walked through a loss during your pregnancy. Or maybe you have had difficulties after your baby was born. Becoming a mother is not always the way we hope it would be which is why I started this special mom series around Mother's Day to help you know you are not alone. This week on the podcast, Carol McLeod will share about her five pregnancy losses and how God still gave her strength to keep trying and how to find joy in the middle of our heartbreak. She also wrote a book called Rooms of a Mother's Heart: A Sacred Call and an Eternal Purpose and we are going to dive deeper into the truth she shares about motherhood. I know you are going to learn so much from Carol. Lastly, I am so excited for someone to win a copy of Carol's book: *Rooms of a Mother's Heart.
