In this late-night episode I show up wearing my son’s crown and my fanciest earrings, because sometimes motherhood hands you props you didn’t know you needed and somehow they fit the moment perfectly. I talk about modeling (the parenting kind and the very reason I had to buy him a whole set of crowns) and the way parenting keeps growing me in real time.

I share someone else's post on contempt in relationships and other posts as well as my desire to maybe start my own Dungeons and Dragons group. I don’t go too deep into that here because it deserves its own episode later, but the longing is real.

And of course, I get emotional. I read a post aloud about not giving up and my emotions stir. The reminder hits me again. Keep going. Your breakthrough, your testimony, your becoming is on the other side of the moment you want to quit.

As ever... real, tender, crown-topped, and truth-filled!
