MOMents of Strength with Mentally Tough Mom
The media on this channel involves conversations with moms discussing managing the challenges of parenting and personal growth. This is done in so many ways strategically and tactically, but the aim is to convey that regardless of environment, culture and situation, as moms we are all called to dig deep from the same place to press on. Some moms have learned how to navigate challenges as parents and still have individual pursuits. These women are examples for those just starting out as parents, those in the thick of it who want to do this but just aren’t able to find the path, and those who are moving into a chapter where the kids have grown up and out of the house. The goal is to use this platform to showcase everyday moms who are relatable and inspiring at not just managing challenge but seeking it out and embracing the process of living.
