Ep 2: The Backstory Behind Kari's Upcoming Book for Moms
At an event in 2018, Kari gave a talk titled “How to Love a Teenager” that was inspired by personal mistakes. Afterward, a mom came up to her, pointed, and boldly declared, “That needs to be your next book.”
Immediately the lightbulb flashed, and after years of waiting for a new book idea to grab her, Kari finally had an answer. For the next 8 months, she dove into this labor of love, her first book for mothers navigating the teen years.
In this episode, Kari shares how her heart for mothers grew exponentially as her daughters became teenagers and she found herself feeling lost, lonely, and out of her league. With compassion for a mother’s journey and firm belief in God’s desire to bridge mothers and daughters, Kari explains how her latest book, releasing in August, will meet mothers where they are – yet not leave them there.
