Oh my goodness. This episode was fantastic. Thank you both for speaking directly to the heart of things! I’m a WAHM, and also an author and the balance thing with a paying job and a non-paying (yet) dream and the brand new ministry baby I’m involved with is killing my heart. The encouragement to take a step back and just breathe, finding contentment in being small and letting Jesus do the work was so good for my heart and I totally bawled through that part of the podcast. I have this huge dreams, these huge words, all given by a huge God, and all He is requiring is for me to be obedient in being small. So. Much. Freedom. I’m buying your book on Friday, Emily! Thank you!
Jamie, I love this girl! Thanks for putting her on your happy hour!
Oh my gosh yes! Im dying for the next season of Blacklist to start! I can’t tell you how excited I am for you to be a speaker for the Thrive Moms Fall Retreat!! woo woo!!

Jamie Ivey you made my things ive learned!!! Post inspired by Emily!!
Hi Jamie! Great episode, as usual! 🙂 I tried to use the Raven & Lily coupon code and it says it expired on August 15th. Just thought you should know! 🙂
Grieving the loss of the life you thought you’d have… YES, this! So much this! I am entering a season of grief, the anniversary of a time when my life changed drastically, when a dream was lost and something new, still beautiful, but different, was born. Very reassuring to hear others feel this… those who haven’t experienced it, don’t seem to understand.
As always, love the podcast, and I’ve been following Emily Freeman for a few months now, too. Glad you had her on!
I’m so sorry about this. I emailed them, and hopefully they can help you out. Let me know if you don’t hear from them!
