Show Notes

Well. In some seasons of parenting, staying in the good work feels impossible. Maybe impossible is the wrong word, maybe hopeless or 'not worth it' is a better way of expressing it. In all reality, we believe every hard season hits in different ways for different people and their contexts. 

So what do we do when we reach one of those places? How do we muster up the strength to continue? I have great news - you don't have to figure it out alone. Today Mo and Tona Ottinger join us to share some wisdom they've gained and experiences they've had in their 20+ years of parenting. Please just know that this road was NOT intended to be walked alone - more details today in a brand new episode of the Empowered to Connect Podcast!
