Deconstructing MamasAuthor: Lizz Enns Petters and Esther Joy Goetz
If you are trying to figure out how to navigate the tricky tightrope of parenting while you have questions, doubts and wonderings about your spiritual journey, this podcast is for you. It doesn't matter if your kids are smalls, middles, or bigs. We will explore what and how we are deconstructing from churchianity, harmful belief systems, and diving deep into the ways we can work this out in parenthood. We will also work through ideas for reconstructing a space for our families to thrive under new systems of love and freedom. We can't wait to bring you some hope that you are not alone and that it's really okay, even good, to explore all the possibilities that may have felt closed off in the past. This podcast will offer you grace and space to be exactly where you are and who you are. We are glad you are here.

Between each season, we share small reflections about what we’ve learned and who we’re becoming.We hope this episode feels like a quilt of our time together — stitched with honesty, courage, tenderness, and yes… plenty of grace and space.✨ In This EpisodeA curated montage of moments from every seasonPersonal reflections from Esther and LizzA look back at where we started — when very few voices were speaking openly about deconstruction, doubt, or evolving faithA vision for where we’re headed nextA huge dose of gratitude for YOU — our listeners, our guests, our community✨ Our Ongoing WorkAlthough the podcast is ending, our work continues — just in new forms.Esther is pouring more deeply into her spiritual direction practice, Heard and Held, where she companions people through life transitions, soul questions, and evolving faith.
