Mom2Mom MENTORING - Work/Life Harmony, Soul-Care, Kingdom Minded MomsAuthor: Misty Hughes Speaker, Workshop Facilitator, Gratitude Guide, Celebration Coach, Mom Mentor
Do you wonder where the mystical land of work/life balance is? Are you searching, striving, or longing to discover a better way to lead yourself and your family? Is your soul weary and often overextended and overwhelmed? Do you want to build your business or career but are afraid of letting one of those spinning plates drop? Are you looking for older women of faith who can share their nuggets of wisdom and offer you the encouragement you need to be a better you? Well, Marvelous Mom and Magnificant Mom-To-Be, , Im Misty Hughes, I have been in that place. I spent countless years searching, weeping, and whining to God about the lack of older women who might serve as a mentor for me. I was a young mom, raising 4 kids, divorced, without a clue as to how to live in Christ, manage my home, provide for the family, love my kids, and care for myself. I looked around my church for a woman I could emulate. I longed for someone I could look to for wisdom. I ached for an older woman to encourage me. I wanted someone approachable, someone who had weathered the storms of life and was sailing on to her brighter future. I looked for a Faith Filled woman A woman who spoke words of life to others A leader in the church or community A woman who was actively reaching out, offering hospitality to younger women A mom who was encouraging others in godliness An overcomer A confident woman A woman who loved her family well A woman who worked outside of the home or had her own business I read in my Bible about this Titus 2 older woman; I had images of what that should look like in my life. But I found no one. After a few years of grumbling and complaining, and maybe even a temper tantrum or two, I began to ask God to make me the solution to the problem. At the age of 36, newly divorced and a hot mess, I began inviting college girls to coffee, lunch, or to our home for dinner. My personal journey of being a mentor had begun. Over the years, I have mentored, coached, and taught countless women Language: en Genres: Kids & Family, Parenting, Religion & Spirituality, Spirituality Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it Trailer: |

I Am The Words You Are The Tune
Episode 101
Thursday, 30 April, 2026
One hundred episodes of real conversations for real women — and for this one, I brought someone new into the studio. My husband Craig. The first man to ever sit across from me onvMom to Mom Mentoring. Craig and I are wired completely differently. 👀 I see the world through rose-colored glasses full of sparkle and shine. He sees it through spreadsheets. 📣 I process everything out loud. He goes quiet and sits with it for days. 💃🏻 I live out loud. He surrounds himself with a few close friends and lets the world carry on without him. And somewhere in the middle of all that difference — we have built something that is genuinely life-giving for both of us. Not because we became the same. But because we kept choosing each other anyway. In this episode, we get honest about what connection actually is — and what it isn't. We talk about ➤ core fears, ➤ the cycle that trips most couples up, ➤ what safety has to do with reconnection, ➤ ➤ ➤ and what Craig's spontaneous Neil Diamond reference in the middle of our conversation taught me all over again about why we work. This isn't a perfect marriage episode. There's no formula here. Just two people, six years in, still learning — and still choosing. What you'll take away: • Why connection is not the same as proximity — and how to feel the difference • The core fear cycle that trips up most couples (and how to interrupt it) • What safety has to do with reconnection — and why God is the safest place first • What it looks like when the dreamer and the realist stop defending their own plots and tend the garden together LINKS MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE Notice, Name, Feel, & Free Your Emotions - A FREE RESOURCE https://mistyhughes.myflodesk.com/feelings Contact Misty & Craig For Symbis (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) https://mistyhughes.com/inquire
