Women, leadership, and insecurities with Sophie Hudson

Sophie Hudson aka “Boo Momma” is one of the funniest speakers and podcasters I have ever been around. Sophie has a way about sharing truth and encouragement in this most relatable way. Today, we cover key topics from Peepers (readers you need) to why Birmingham women are so classy and then we spend most of our chat time discussing women and leadership.In this episode, she shares the hard truth that our churches and communities have not always prepared women for leadership. As moms, we so often wonder if we even have gifts? And we often don’t even see ourselves as leaders. This conversation is a really important one for us as women. Sophie goes into ways we can embrace our roles as women and how to walk fully and confidently in our God-given gifts.This episode is very profound and at the same time practical. You will walk away with tangible things you can do today to see yourself more clearly - how God made you a leader.If you have sons, don’t miss the beginning part as she shares about what God is teaching her as a parent of a grown son. She has some beautiful encouragement for moms of sons and how their relationship has morphed and strengthened over time.I am praying you feel this conversation so fired up and excited to discover your gifts and go lead with passion! I pray that through his conversation we learn to be kind to ourselves and gracious as we learn who we are. Let’s pay attention to what makes us come alive and SEE clearly how God wired us to glorify Him right where we are.In this episode, we discuss:Raising sons and what’s she’s learning latelyWhy women don’t see ourselves as leadersHow we can begin to identity our unique giftsHow to see yourself as God sees you - finding your unique wiring Enjoy !Courtney What brings you alive? 00:00Introduction and Family Background01:37Active Parenting and Engaging in Conversations04:23The Growth of Self-Awareness in Children07:56The Importance of Light-Heartedness in Leadership09:11Empowering Women in Leadership12:13Recognizing and Embracing Leadership Gifts15:56Finding Peace in Pursuing Passions20:02Bringing Joy and Encouragement in Everyday Life21:17Finding Purpose and Identity Beyond Motherhood23:26Embracing Your Unique Gifts and Talents25:53Prioritizing Personal Interests and Passions35:31Living a Life that Brings Joy and Glory to GodConnect with Pardon The Mess:Christian ParentingPardon The Mess Courtney DeFeoGet your 2024-2025 prayer journal, A Life of FaithResources from today’s show:SophieHudson.comBig Boo CastA Fine Sight To See - her newest bookPeepersDaily DrillsHomeGoods Camp White BirdCarpool Conversations PodcastPardon the Mess is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.
