Ep.517: Motherhood is Not Your Highest Calling with Vicki Courtney

from Our Time to Rise in Midlife

Motherhood and identity often get so tightly woven together that it feels impossible to separate the two. But what if motherhood isn't our highest calling? What if it's a beautiful and significant part of who we are, but not the ultimate definition of our purpose? As our children grow, into their teen and young adult years especially, it becomes crucial to rediscover and redefine who we are beyond motherhood. Today, we are joined by author and speaker Vicki Courtney. Vicki is not only a seasoned writer but also a mother who has walked this journey, learning how to release control and embrace life outside of her children. Moms, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. It's a timely reminder that while motherhood matters deeply, your ultimate identity rests in something far greater.
