Emily JacobsGuestMelissa HughesHostThere's, like, the pendulum of women that are not satisfied or kind of hide behind the season of motherhood, when, like, they have stuff that they wanna do, but maybe use motherhood as an excuse not to do it.
And then we have the other spectrum, where we have women that are like the boss babes, right? And they're all, like, not [laughs] really-
... prioritizing their family or allowing their business to crowd out family or their children or whatever.
And so I had a conversation with someone recently, and she had such a great distinction.
She said, "There's a difference between being a boss babe and being activated by God, and then there's a difference between God calling you into a season where you're, you are a mom and that is what He's called you to, versus you're, you're a mom, but you know He's trying to activate you in something else, and you're choosing to kind of abdicate that." It's like these two pendulums.

You know, for me there was this, like, it's, it, to me it's a seven-year-old little dreamer, and she lives inside of me.

Which is interesting, 'cause now I have an eight and a five-year-old, so seven's right in the middle.

I'm like, "I love you both, but what, what answers do you possibly need at 7:00 in the morning?"
