The life of a mother is complicated filled with personal sacrifices and unforeseen events while also being one if not the best joy of life.  While life brings us twists and turns, we keep going.  Sharing is caring, and as women we share our stories and journeys to know that we are not alone.  Join me in this podcast journey as I amplify voices with real life stories of survival and hope.  We will have serious and fun conversations that inform, encourage and inspire you to be your best.

nformative Conversations with Host Jacquelyn
I became a stay-at-home mom after my son turned two years old.  Five years later I welcomed a beautiful baby girl.  With all the joy and excitement that filled my heart and our home, there was no way I could have imagined that within months my marriage would dissolve.  I suddenly became Priestess, Provider, and Protector of a six-year-old and an eleven-month-old.  Along my journey, I have become a divorcee, a caregiver for my aging mom, as well as a caretaker during my long-fought illness, which at one point caused me to have to send my children away with relatives while I was being cared for.  I have been a homeschooler to my son, and managed my teenage daughter which she was being “schooled from home’.  My faith is strong and has led me to sharing my story and the story of others through this podcast.  You will enjoy our conversations.
 
Enjoy listening,
Jacquelyn
