Why Motherhood Matters with September McCarthy

Today on Walk it Out, my guest is my friend, September McCarthy. In this episode, September and I tackle how to handle schooling kids at home with success. We talk about morning time routines, giving our kids BIG goals, setting the mood for our home, and teaching our kids to have godly character. But even though we talked a lot about kids, September’s heart is tender for moms. I love what she had to say on this blog, Finding Your Way Back from Overwhelmed.
Why do we wait to feel overwhelmed before we do something about it? Women tend to put others’ needs before their own, and in the end, it backfires, causing us to resent our investment and the tiresome result. We talked earlier about being sowers, but God has also called us to be seekers — we are to be intentional in noticing and reaching out to the other women in our lives. We all have opportunities, every day, to reach into another woman’s life and hold her up while she works to regain her footing. Those of us who are feeling a little relief or perhaps have learned something along the way, well, we should be offering up a hand, a heart, a word or two to give that other mama a bit of relief and confidence in her calling. I like to call this the “no-judgement call.” Where women feel safe in reaching out and reaching in, knowing we have all been there, done that, and not one of us will ever claim to have attained perfection. And if you need to be on the receiving end of help, wave your white flag high for help. Raise it, wave it, and ask. We are called to ask for help. There should be no shame in the plea.
I hope you enjoy this chat. There are so many great ideas that September shares. I also pray you do two things:
  1. Reach out to another mom if you’re feeling overwhelmed.
  2. Think about another mom who you can reach out to with a kind word of encouragement today.
Either way, you’ll be blessed!

Because of God’s grace to me, I have laid the foundation like an expert builder. Now others are building on it. But whoever is building on this foundation must be very careful. 1 Corinthians 3:10
