"Honestly, this was a God move. I started a coaching session with a highly sought after mentor I greatly admired and little did she know I quietly backed away from blogging, but God used her to stir the desire back up. After our many sessions, we came up with a relaunching plan, website name, and content, and The Cultured Mom was birthed. It fit perfectly with the unique and challenging new season I am in. I felt inadequate to move into this new stage of life with him. It brought me back to my teenage years and how I suffered from debilitating depression. My fears became so consuming and prevalent that I started to feel stuck. I remember crying out to the Lord and asking Him to help me in this new stage. I felt like the Lord pressed it upon my heart to blog on this season and the wisdom will come. This platform will be used as a way to strengthen our connection, increase our leadership skills, and hold each other accountable. I realized more parents are in this stage, trying to figure this out and get a grip on their child’s growing minds just like me. Why not figure this unique season out together WITH our preteen or teenager?"
