Welcome to Episode 119 of The Perfectionist's Guide to Mothering! We are entering a busy time of year as the school year is winding down. This means lots of extra things for our kids and us by default: concerts, recitals, school projects, field trips, class parties, teacher appreciation, and more! It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all there is going on. But I don’t want us to feel overwhelmed, I want us to take some time now on the front end of the month to help our future selves. Let's not just survive this month, let's thrive!

Welcome to Episode 106 of The Perfectionist’s Guide to Mothering! Today I’m chatting with Lori Schumaker. I do want to let you know that in today’s episode we are talking about a hard topic that isn’t for little ears. So if your kids are around, hit pause and come back to it when you get a chance.
Here’s a little bit about Lori: Her life story embodies the phrase “unveiled hope.” As both a Life and Mental Health Coach, as well as a writer, speaker, teacher, and creator, she gently guides women through the complexities of life with grace, hope, and resilience. Her own journey through the pain of abortion, and the subsequent cycle of shame and insecurity that followed, left her feeling shattered and unable to move forward. Yet, anchored by her faith in Christ and armed with practical strategies, Lori has found strength and redemption. The adversities that once sent her spiraling are now her testimony to the power of Jesus.
