What dreams has God put on your heart in this season of life as a mom of young kids?
Maybe you haven’t even given yourself the time or freedom to let yourself dream. Or maybe you’re discouraged because you feel like there are so many obstacles in the way of achieving your dreams right now. You think that you don’t have time, or money, or skills you need to make it happen.
Whatever your situation, my guest on this episode of the Gotcha Mama podcast, Jess Carey, has some inspiring and motivating words to share with you. In fact, there are so many good things she shares in this episode that it took me a long time to decide which one of her quotes to use to intro the episode.
Jess is a wife, the mom of two, an author, and a student at Hillsong Leadership College. From an early career acting in New York to running a business overseas, she has consistently stepped into the unknown. And she has some fascinating stories to prove it.
Jess has navigated the transitions and detours life’s presented her and learned some practical ways to continually seek God’s direction. And she’s passionate about sharing how you can do that too.
Her heart is for every person to step into the next part of the journey God has called them to. Whether you are in a season where you are unsure of what to do next, or you’re feeling discouraged by your circumstances.
