Show Notes
Today we’re diving into a super honest, super fun Q&A and covering everything from motherhood and postpartum identity to dating after college, friendship dynamics, and what it actually looked like to turn For The Girl and Delight into full-time work.
We answer YOUR questions about how we knew we were ready for kids, how the Lord met us in the loss of our “old selves,” and why there’s so much beauty in embracing who God is shaping us into in each new season. We also talk about teaching our little ones about Jesus in simple, everyday ways, share some real relationship advice for the post-grad girl, and open up about the hustle, obedience, and hard work behind building something meaningful.
