Episode 120: The Ins and Outs of being a Women in Leadership with Connie Armerding & Audra Mahoney

Co-host and founder of Living Wholehearted and Courageous Girls, Terra Mattson, is kicking off a March series focusing on women and leadership. Most of you listening this month are probably women, but if you are a man, don’t turn this episode off! You will better understand your colleagues and bosses, your sisters and your wife, and be better equipped to raise healthy daughters if you keep listening this month!

Terra is excited to have Living Wholehearted teammates, Audra Mahoney, MA LPC Associate and Connie Armerding, MA on the podcast. Audra and Connie are both female leaders who walk with leaders and understand the unique challenges women face in both the home and workplace as they trust God to live out of the call on their life. In episode 120, these three women talk about the reality of juggling motherhood, marriage, and their responsibilities. They share about their own journey toward understanding healthy leadership as well as the common lies they have faced (and are facing) as they shrink their own integrity gaps.

Audra Mahoney has a Masters in Professional Counseling. She has worked in as a Child Protective Services Social Worker and she received certified training in domestic violence, substance abuse, child abuse, and addiction and taught human sexuality courses at a NW college. She is a certified Mending the Soul facilitator, passionate about spiritual formation, and one of our faithful counselors at LW. She is also a speaker and an ordained minister with the Foursquare Church and has served on the National Cabinet and Divisional Council Boards.
