Several years ago, my daughter and I wrote a book called Better Together all about building your “mom tribe.” These are the women you hang with, the ones you care for, and those that care for you. In this book, I talk about sharing our stories and how we all have stories to share.Today, I am inviting two women who are in my own mom tribe to share their stories with us.

Several years ago, my daughter and I wrote a book called Better Together all about building your “mom tribe.” These are the women you hang with, the ones you care for, and those that care for you. In this book, I talk about sharing our stories and how we all have stories to share.

Today, I am inviting two women who are in my own mom tribe to share their stories with us. They have both been on my podcast before sharing their expertise. My friend, Susan Seay, a speaker, podcast host, mom of 7 kids, and mom coach extraordinaire, was on an episode titled “How to Increase Your Energy.” My friend, Barb Roose, is a speaker, author, mom, teaching pastor, and a literary agent, and was on an episode titled “When Life Feels Like More Than You Can Handle.”

In this episode, you’ll hear:

How we can listen to understand rather than listen to defend or debate.
A continuation of a conversation Barb, Susan, and I started three years ago.
Barb and Susan’s personal stories and experiences of race throughout their life.
Why Barb and Susan rarely have these conversations with white friends or acquaintances.

Friend, I know for some of us, there is a voice in us that tells us that a podcast about race isn’t worth our time. I truly hope you won’t listen to that voice today. It means so much to me that my friends were willing to share their stories with us today, and I hope it’s the spark of many more conversations in your own life.
