We dig into how to guard our hearts, lean on grace, and let our identity in Christ shape our motherhood — rather than guilt, perfectionism, or comparison. Abbie brings her own story, biblical wisdom, anddecades of real-life motherhood to the table, helping moms reclaim confidence, kindness, and peace in the daily chaos.
