What kind of effect does it have on a young mind when they're living for the next like? How does having constant access to their peers likes and dislikes, words of encouragement or discouragement, and touched up pictures affect the way our children see and understand themselves? How does a caring parent make decisions about when and whether to allow their children to enter the "reality living" rat race when we often struggle with it ourselves as adults? Join Brooke and Erin as they chat again this week with counselor Sissy Goff, author of Raising Worry-Free Girls, about navigating the often swift-moving waters of today's reality living culture.

Anxiety among girls is at epidemic rates. Our guest today says childhood anxiety rates are soaring, especially among girls, and she should know because she counsels them and their families every day in her practice outside of Nashville, TN. Because of this issue, we thought it was important to dedicate an entire episode to helping parents know what contributes to anxiety and worry and how they can empower their daughters to overcome their fears. Tune in today as Erin and Brooke chat with Sissy Goff, counselor and author of Raising Worry-Free Girls.

In episode #10, we hosted Hal and Melanie Young in a fantastic talk about the hormone battle for girls. Since that episode, we've had a lot of requests to talk about how changing hormones effect boys as well, and since they have raised six boys of their own, we decided to have them back on the show to talk to all the boymoms! At the same time that their hormones are going crazy, our boys are literally being bombarded by social awareness for the first time...nevermind that they're wondering what other people think of them a WHOLE lot more than others are actually thinking about them...it's a real thing. Join us on this episode as we figure out how to understand male hormones, develop a sense of compassion, and get some practical tools for helping our boys through this important, but often frustrating stage.

About ten years ago Teri Lynne Underwood attended a conference for pastors’ wives. Since her husband was in student ministry at the time and they had a young daughter, she chose to attend a workshop on beauty and modesty. Teri Lynne was both shocked and offended by what the facilitator said in the session. She urged women to give no thought to their appearance and said that any time and money spent on physical appearance was at the very least shameful and could also be sinful. But that's not what Teri Lynne found in the Bible... A balance, yes? But shameful? No. Well, it doesn't have to be. Join Brooke and Erin today as they talk to Teri Lynne in depth about how to raise daughters with a correct understanding of beauty straight from the heart of God.

Brooke McGlothlin and Stacey Thacker wrote Hope for the Weary Mom: Let God Meet You in Your Mess several years ago. It was literally birthed in a closet during a hurricane…and we don’t just mean figuratively (although the “hurricane of motherhood” certainly contributed to the message!). Since that time, they've matured, and their kids have matured. They've learned a lot of things about hope, one of which is that we always need it. Weariness comes and goes in cycles. Hope is something we can't do without. On this episode of the Million Praying Moms Podcast, listen as they partner with Erin Mohring in sharing 10 truths they've learned about hope since writing the original Hope for the Weary Mom. It will be an amazing reminder of the deep truths we all desperately need, so tune in now!
