Karen Stubbs is the founder of Birds on a Wire, a ministry whose mission is to equip and encourage moms of all stages in motherhood. She joins Chris and Christy to share some advice on parenting and self-care. She reflects on the early years of her own parenting journey as a young wife of a fighter pilot who was traveling for work most of the time—and how that led to her starting the BOAW ministry. They talk about what self-care really looks like, and why it is so important for moms, even (or especially) when your child has cancer. Karen talks about the role that guilt plays in parenting and how to test if it's truly something you should feel guilty about. She shares some self-care advice from a mom with a child with an ongoing terminal disease. Karen also talks about how God provided for her during a time when she really needed help as a mother. She shares some general parenting advice, including keeping your marriage at the center of your family life, and offers some advice for single moms. They close the conversation with a challenge for moms for this week.
