Notes and Quotes:
“There’s this secret society of moms that nobody actually knows about. It happens underground. And there are sacred conversations that we have as moms that are very rarely brought to light. They happen on the sidelines of soccer practice. They happen at kids drop off after the kids have all gone into class. They’re honest, vulnerable conversations where you’re thinking . . . ‘I should never have said that out loud.’ And someone else says ‘me too.’” —Mandy Arioto
“That’s what MomCo is about: having honest conversations that we’re afraid to have as women, bringing them to light and recognizing that this is a holy space where God swoops in to heal the parts of our lives, fear, trauma, or inadequacy that we feel.” —Mandy Arioto
“I think that motherhood is incredibly rad, a sisterhood unparalleled, and the place that God uses to form us in ways that we could never have imagined beforehand.” —Mandy Arioto
“There is something unique that God does in moms that makes them influential in the kingdom.” —Mandy Arioto
“Our identity is in how faithful we are to what God asks us to do, how faithful we are to listening and knowing God’s voice, being trustworthy in what He’s entrusted us with, and recognizing that the outcomes of that can look all kinds of different ways.” —Mandy Arioto
“Our worth is not measured by how well our kids turn out.” —Mandy Arioto
“We don’t have to qualify our wants; we can put our needs before God.” —Mandy Arioto
