Vacation Weekend Gone Wrong, Newborn Trenches, and What Jesus Did When He Might Have Felt Lonely
For The GirlShow Notes
In this episode you'll hear a recap of a stressful lake weekend involving severe back pain and two hospital visits.... The emotional ups and downs of pregnancy, preparing for a new baby, Myla starting preschool, and the many unexpected ways family life can feel overwhelming and full.
They also answer a listener question about prioritizing marriage during the newborn season, sharing the importance of intentional time together, small check-ins, and choosing connection over keeping score. The conversation moves into love languages and what it looks like to love someone in a way that may not come naturally.
The episode closes with a devotional on Matthew 14:23 and Jesus withdrawing to pray. Together, they unpack the loneliness that can exist in every season of life and how it can become an invitation to draw closer to God.
