Do you love youth sports, or dread them? Are you an enthusiastic fan, or would you rather avoid every gym, field, and court possible? Do you get excited to see your kids growing in strength and character through sports, or do you see competition bringing out their dark side? Let’s face it – If your kids play sports, they will likely be a big part of your life! There is a lot we can talk about on this topic!
After I shared a series of Instagram Stories asking for your experience and feedback about youth sports, I decided this topic was worthy of a full podcast episode. I thought it would be fun to bring a real-life friend on with me, so I invited my friend Carla, whose sons are in very different sports from mine! In this very real conversation, we talk about the good and difficult parts of youth sports...with an emphasis on the good! Carla is an enthusiastic football, soccer, and track mom, and I think you’ll find her passion contagious! Grab a coffee (or put on your sneakers!) and join Carla and I for this fun chat all about youth sports!
PS Do you enjoy this mom-to-mom chat? Let me know! I’d love to plan more episodes like this!

Ep. 148: Finding Identity in a Culture of Loneliness, with Bonnie Gray
Growing up as an American-Chinese daughter of a mail-order bride and a busboy working in San Francisco’s Chinatown, Bonnie Gray has a story that will capture your attention and win your heart. In her Memoir, Sweet Like Jasmine, Bonnie shares her grown-up journey of revisiting her childhood memories, uncovering family secrets, and witnessing brokenness made beautiful. (She’s such a good writer!) In today’s interview, Bonnie and I talk about her amazing story, how she has shared the hard parts of her past with her sons, and how finding our identity in Christ is the key to peace and belonging for all of us.
Bonnie is so much fun to talk to, and I appreciate her honesty, vulnerability, and strength. Bonnie’s story is unique, but it is also our story! One of loneliness, longing for love, and ultimately finding the greatest love and security only in a relationship with God. I am so excited to share this interview with you!

Ep. 150: Foster the Family, with Jamie Finn
Whether or not you've ever considered being a foster family, this conversation with Jamie Finn will inspire you. Her heart for children and family is contagious and her message is for all of us.
After reading Jamie’s book, Foster the Family, I was so inspired to learn more. In today’s conversation we cover Jamie's story of becoming a foster parent and starting a super creative and brilliant ministry. I ask some total beginner questions, and Jamie so humbly answers! She is so real and honest, and so much fun. Please share this episode with your friends because we can all play a role in supporting children and families in need, and I think Jamie has some great ideas on how we might do that well.
