Rise Up and Shine Podcast
Two Christian moms in different stages of life – stay at home Ashley with young children and Claudine in midlife with an empty nest. Together, we talk about the struggles we all face as women including overwhelm, mom guilt, frustrations in parenting and marriage, building confidence and managing our minds and emotions. We have overcome depression and anxiety and have found success in creating peace filled and joy filled lives. From chaos to coaches, we have embarked on a journey to share all we've learned with you. With real, raw, and faith-filled conversations we bring hope, insight and weekly tips so, you too, can rise up and let your light shine bright.
