REBEKAH: ON FINDING RHYTHMS + TRUE SELF CARE + THE GIFT OF DOWN SYNDROME
The Real Mom Podcast is back! Season 3 is starting off with a bang, with one of my very favorite authors and teachers, Rebekah Lyons. You know when you read the perfect thing at the perfect time? Well, Rebekah’s new book, Rhythms of Renewal, was that for me. And while this is a book for everyone, I think the lessons on healthy rhythms and the truest form of “self care” will hit the hearts of foster + adoptive moms specifically. Rebekah and I talk about panic attacks and peace, finding the healthy rhythms of input and output, what true and godly self care looks like, adoption and the gift of Down syndrome, Trader Joe’s and their must haves, old books, and life as a revolutionary. Rebekah drops such wisdom this episode. I really believe her message will serve your soul. It’s a good one, friends.

• I LOVE LOVE LOVE both the products and the mission of Fawn + Foster. They create organic, high-quality, beautiful baby products like swaddles, bibs, and burp cloths. I’m obsessed with the designs and patterns and–as someone who has used them for a long time–I can tell you that these products hold up.
