28: Making Time For Mom Friends with Val Woerner

Val and I chat about: Why it’s so hard for moms to make friends. Why moms shouldn’t use their kids as a crutch or excuse to keep us from the things God has called us to do. Her new books, Grumpy Mom Takes A Holiday and Fresh Start for Moms “I just don't want to write friendship off in this season of motherhood. I want to enjoy it. I want to basically have lived in that community that God has called us to do.” - Val Woerner Links mentioned on the show: If Gathering Fresh Start for Moms Grumpy Mom Takes A Holiday When People Are Big and God is Small by Edward T.
