46 - new season, new baby, starting a podcast

Joymail! Forgive me that is not Sunday. It think it has been almost a year since I have sat down and write one of these. I wanted to update on some changes but first let’s bring back an old graphic I love.

No matter what kind of season you’re in right now, it’s important to remember… it’s temporary. Life gets to be abundant and beautiful, but it also gets to be hard and confusing.

Each season brings a lesson that makes us wiser and stronger. Honestly, I’d argue I’ve learned more in seasons of deep pain than any other. Something I always hold on to is that when you break, you get the chance to leave behind the pieces that were never meant to fit in the first place.

life updates and changes

joymail

I’ve decided to make a few changes to how I write these. From now on, they’ll be in first person… just me to you. When I first started joymail, I was writing as if it was from “joymail,” but that never really felt to flow that well. I hope you enjoy the more personal touch. These emails will still come whenever I have time, so I hope you’re okay with the occasional, sporadic pop-in.

baby #3

I’m currently pregnant with my third baby! It was a complete surprise to our family. When my second was just 6 months old, I found myself shaking with a positive pregnancy test in my hand. After two miscarriages and months of trying to get pregnant with my first two, it was the most beautiful surprise. I’ll be almost a 3 under 3 mom… my oldest will be 3 years and 2 months when this baby arrives.

podcast update

Okay… it’s happening. I’ve officially decided to start a podcast. It’s going to be really simple… probably no intro music, no fancy production. Just me, sharing what’s on my heart. And I thought: what better place to launch it first than right here inside joymail the one space I feel the most like myself.

Don’t worry, I won’t be spamming you with every episode. But I did want to give this community first access as it rolls out. Here are a few episode ideas I’ve been brainstorming. Let me know if any of these speak to you. Please email me by replying to this email if you have any insight or topics you would love to hear about!

Thanks for reading joymail! I will see you next week.
