If youโve ever skipped a birthday party to avoid the exhaustion of managing your childโs needs in a social setting or felt like โnobody gets itโโthis episode is for you. Deena and Christina get real about the emotional rollercoaster of finding (and keeping) friendships while navigating caregiving, chronic stress, and the unique challenges of raising kids who donโt always โfit in.โ
Hereโs the truth: Isolation is a tool of the enemy to make you feel like youโre alone. But guess what? Youโre NOT. Thereโs a whole tribe of moms out here who get it, who see you, and who want to do life with you. So, letโs tackle this junk drawer together and ditch the loneliness for good. ๐
๐ง Hit play now for raw, faith-filled encouragement and practical strategies to build the connections you need (without the mom guilt).
