Episode 36-What Parenting Teaches Us About Life, Faith and Ourselves with guest Sarah Bragg

Parenting often feels like a whirlwind, leaving little time to recognize the valuable lessons we’re learning along the way - mostly because those lessons don't become clear until we have a moment of quiet reflection (a rare occurrence until the kids leave the house!). In this episode, Jim sits down with author and podcast host Sarah Bragg to explore the personal growth that unfolds as we navigate the joys and challenges of raising children. Pulling from the incredible insight in her book, A Mother’s Guide To Raising Herself, Sarah and Jim emphasize the importance of taking care of yourself and encourage parents, that if you haven’t heard it lately, you’re doing a great job. Jim's TakeawaysFight for time to rest on a weekly basisFind things that refresh you! Maybe it’s doing an exercise routine, enjoying a bubble bath (uninterrupted), or a lunch with a good friend - when you’re rested, you’re more present and more peaceful with your kids. Fight for time to restore relationshipsFind time to connect with your loved ones each week, if it’s only for a few minutes. Work at keeping your relationships healthy and put in the effort towards restoration when needed. HAVE SERIOUS FUN!HomeWord Links:HomeWord Website: https://homeword.com/HomeWord Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@homewordJim Burns Blog: https://homeword.com/jims-blog/HomeWord+ Online Courses: https://homeword.com/homeword-plus/Sarah Bragg Links:Sarah Bragg Website: https://www.sarahbragg.com/Surviving Sarah Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/surviving-sarah/id1069692358Leave a Message for HomeWord: 949-485-3905Have a question you want Jim to answer?
