179. Not Your Typical Mom Convo

<p><strong>Key Conversation Points:</strong></p> <ul> <li>We can bring any pain from our mothers to God.  God is father and mother to us. </li> <li>Knowing our mothers outside of their relationships with us is something that's important for our growth.</li> <li>We are the protagonist of our own stories but remember our moms are the protagonists in their own stories too. </li> <li>Christie graciously encourages us to try not to focus on the little fragments with our mothers but focus on the little details that could shimmer like jewels. </li> <li>Christie and Lisa-Jo mention: "50 Things About My Mother" by <a href="https://www.lauralynnbrown.com/book/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer">Laura Brown</a> and <a href= "https://www.marykarr.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer">Mary Karr</a>'s memoirs which talk all about motherhood with details about how she navigated very difficult experiences with her mother and still found a way for a relationship. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Podcast links:</strong></p> <p>Follow Lisa-Jo on Instagram <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/lisajobaker/?hl=en">@lisajobaker</a> and Christie at <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/christiepurifoy/?hl=en">@christiepurifoy</a> and please leave a review about what you think about today's podcast! <strong><br /></strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.blackbarnonline.com/">Click here</a> to join the conversations we have with listeners every week around the podcast. <a href= "https://www.blackbarnonline.com/">https://www.blackbarnonline.com/</a></p> <p>_______</p> <p>Sponsor appreciation: We're so grateful to partner with show sponsors that keep making our work possible.</p> <p><a href="https://www.oliveandjune.com/ordinary">Click here</a> to visit Olive & June for 20% off your first Mani System.
