Being a Shining Light as a Working Mom :: Jena Holliday [EP26]

Gems of Motherhood - Un pódcast de Sharon Kon

Being a light in the midst of darkness is not easy these days. And it’s not easy juggling between work and motherhood while trying to be light in this dark world. In this podcast episode, my guest Jena Holliday shares her personal story of how she was discouraged by a teacher from pursuing her dream of being an artist as a young girl. Yet, God intervened. “As I became a mother, God started to be remind me of things He had placed in my heart years before… As I walked in faith, people encouraged me to pursue my dreams.” Jena shares about her struggles juggling motherhood and work as the seasons changed and her kids changed. “Being flexible is super helpful as it comes to managing priorities as well as trying to be a good parent.”One thing that Jena held with her over the years, is the importance of her uniqueness and who God created her to be. Her mom has always affirmed her and her siblings even though they were all different. Her mom’s instructions gave her confidence, and in turn, has helped her to shed light through her illustrations, especially to her children. What we chat aboutJuggling work and motherhoodWorking remote with childrenAffirming and speaking life over her childrenBeing a shining light in the communityHow to teach children to let their light shine
