Grace in Hard Places: Family of Origin, PPD, and Foster Care- Episode 82

from The Bitter and The Sweet Podcast · host Kayla M. Cook

While we are in between National Infertility Awareness Week and Mother's Day, I wanted to bring you some of the very best of the conversations we've had about family in many different forms.  Your family of origin, postpartum mental health, and foster care are challenging topics, but there is a Grace that covers them.  In this episode, we are talking about hard conversations and boundaries with the family who raised you, postpartum depression and how our mental health impacts the people we love, and caring for vulnerable people without trying to control outcomes.  If you've ever felt the weight of your story, struggled in motherhood, or needed to see hope in hard seasons, this episode offers honest conversations and gentle reminders of God's presence and faithfulness in both the bitter and the sweet.   LINKS Connect with Kristen on Instagram Get your copy of Kristen's book, Legacy Changer Connect with Rachael on Instagram Get your copy of Rachael's book, A Mom is Born Connect with Lauren on Instagram Connect with Kayla on Instagram Connect with the show on Instagram Visit Kayla's website Become an email friend
