I’m Demetria, your host, and I’ve created this podcast as a place to pause, reflect, and connect with a community that understands the joys and challenges of motherhood, parenting, and midlife transitions. After 14 years of sharing stories, encouragement, and insights with the Christian Homeschool Moms Podcast, this new chapter expands beyond homeschooling. Here, we talk openly about faith, family, personal growth, and the everyday moments that shape our hearts and homes. Whether you’re navigating the early years, raising teens, sending kids off to college, or stepping into the empty nest, you’ll find stories, reflections, and practical tips to help you embrace life with grace, faith, and purpose. Think of this as our café—a place to gather, encourage one another, pray, share, and be inspired. No matter what season of motherhood you’re in, this podcast is here to remind you that you’re not alone, and that together, we can navigate the journey of faith and family with love, honesty, and heart.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/christian-moms-caf-formerly-christian-homeschool-moms-1390743"},"episode":{"title":"CHM171.

I’m joined by D.M. Whitaker—homeschool mom, author, publisher, and founder of Water Rocks Publishing—who shares her inspiring journey of creating safe, empowering spaces for Black and Brown homeschool families. When she saw racial inequality in local co-ops, she didn’t just take note—she took action. We dive into her mission-driven work as an author, including her newest release, The Grand Adventures of Jade and Grace: A Girl’s Guide to Navigating Periods and Friendships, and how she weaves faith, family, and emotional well-being into her stories. D.M. also shares how she’s helping other creatives publish their work, nurture entrepreneurship in her own children, and walk boldly in her calling during a season of growth and purpose. If you’re longing to raise bold, emotionally grounded children while building Christ-centered community, this conversation will meet you right where you are. 🔗 Learn more about D.M.'s books and publishing work at http://www.dmwhitaker.com (http://www.dmwhitaker.com) and https://www.waterrockspublishing.com/ (https://www.waterrockspublishing.com/) --- 🔔 Announcements: Doors are open for new members at the Christian Women Podcasters Network!
