205. Hard-Won Wisdom: What Motherhood Is Teaching Us About Identity, Home & Becoming with Kim Walker Kerkvliet

<p>Today I’m talking with Kim, a mom of five, faith-rooted encourager, and the woman behind Ellie &amp; the Boys and the <em>Moms Collective Journal</em>.</p><p><br></p><p>Kim has walked through some incredibly hard seasons of motherhood—including single parenting and remarriageafter losing a spouse—and she brings a beautiful perspective to what it means to show up intentionally, not perfectly, in the everyday work of making a house a home.</p><p><br></p><p>She started a life long dream of creating a magazine for moms and we’re talking about her fall issue of <em>Moms Collective Journal</em>, but really, we’re talking about something much deeper: the stories and hard-wonwisdom we carry as mothers, the rhythms that bring warmth back into our homes, and what motherhood is actually doing in us. She welcomes us to make a shift ifwe need to...right as we are shifting into fall. The timing of this conversation is truly *chef&#39;s kiss.*</p><p><br></p><p>Please join me in welcoming Kim Walker Kerkvliet to the show.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Kim Walker Kerkvliet’s Links: </strong></p><p><strong>Website:</strong> <a href="https://www.ellieandtheboys.co/">https://www.ellieandtheboys.co/</a> </p><p><strong>Instagram: </strong>@ellieandtheboys.co</p><p> </p><p><strong>Elevating Motherhood Links: </strong></p><p><strong>Website:</strong> <a href="http://www.elevatingmotherhood.com">www.elevatingmotherhood.com</a> </p><p><strong>Instagram: </strong>@loribethauldridge</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Please Visit Todays Sponsor: </strong></p><p> It’s back to school season and I want to take a minute to tell you about my favorite planner from Sparrow Homeschool.
