Rest for the Exhausted mom September McCarthy Ep 189

Rest for the Exhausted mom September McCarthy Ep 189

As an author, event planner, teacher, wife, mom of 10 and grandmother to 2, September McCarthy has plenty to fill her days. She relates to the universal exhaustion on our mom souls–the beating ourselves up and the fighting for joy.

September has so much wisdom to share from what God has taught her in seasons of busyness and motherhood in different stages.

Listen as we go through questions from GCM listeners on motherhood topics including finding joy in the hard times, the value of rest and bringing your children alongside you in your work as a mom.

As moms we are going to be tired. Might as well be tired over the things that bring you joy. And choose those things.

What we chat about:
  • September’s motherhood story including miscarriages & infant loss.
  • Answers to questions from moms like you.
  • Focusing less on feeling the joy in your days and more on gratitude.
  • When you are in the busy seasons of life, be cautious what you take on. Ask yourself, do I need to do this?
  • Not letting our “fear of missing out” for children direct our decisions.
  • The importance of guarding our thoughts and taking negative thoughts captive.
  • “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:2
  • There is value and strength in rest and doing what God wants for your body.
  • Find one to two moms who can help you when you need it.
  • Let go of feeling like you need to everything well and enjoy it.
  • Bringing your kids into you work as a mom and encouraging them to work as a team.
  • Tips on teaching character to kids who want your attention all the time.

Read Aloud Revival :: Sarah Mackenzie [Ep 125]

Maybe you’ve heard you should read-aloud to your preschoolers, but do you know the benefits of reading aloud to your competent readers? Educators and communication experts have discovered that: “Because linguistic information is best stored in the brain auditorily, children who have had read to them reliably correct and sophisticated language patterns for many years are much more likely to develop competence in written (and verbal) communication skills.” –Andrew Padewa Not only does reading aloud help with communication skills, but families bond while they share a story. All that’s great. But with our busy lives how do we add one. more. thing to our schedules? Well, once again I have good news! This week’s podcast guest, Sarah Mackenzie, has created the “Read-Aloud Revival” podcast and community. She gives moms practical tips and fabulous resources to make reading aloud not only possible, but enjoyable! In this episode, Sarah eases our guilt and helps set realistic expectations for how reading aloud looks. Bonus, she shares great ideas for using audio books that actually give moms a much needed break AND help your kids with their auditory comprehension skills. Cha ching! Can’t wait for you to share your favorite read-aloud books on Instagram this week. Use the hashtag #readaloudrevival and make sure to tag me to so I can see (@GodCenteredMom). What we chat about: Why Sarah starting reading aloud to her kiddos. An easy tip to attach reading with something you do every day. Letting go of unrealistic expectations and ideals of your time reading aloud. Figuring out the “why” behind you want to read-aloud with kids. Realizing that when boys’ hands are busy it doesn’t mean they aren’t listening. Remembering to keep the reading time short and that time adds up over days. Find books that you enjoyed as a kid, not just the ones you think you “should” read. Great ways to use audio books to share the story and connect as a family. Finding community who can support you in your pursuit. Why introverts are drawn to reading aloud to their kids. How to have great conversations with your kids over books you haven’t read with them. Encouragement to just get started reading, don’t worry about creating a formal plan.
