In this first episode of our special May Motherhood series, we sit down with Tori Benham — mentor, mom of four, emotional intelligence coach, and co-author of Beauty and Battle and Unshakeable.
Tori walks us through something she wishes someone had told her early on: that God modeled a rhythm in Genesis One that most moms never give themselves permission to follow. Create. Pause. See the good. Not because everything is perfect — but because you're doing more right than you think.
We also get into the four stages of parenting — babysitter, referee, coach, teammate — and what it looks like to lead your kids toward a season where they actually want you on their team. And Tori gets honest about the thing that trips most moms up: fear. How it sneaks in, shuts you down, and convinces you that you're not capable — when love is the very thing that makes you more than capable.
You are not failing. You are growing. This conversation will help you see the difference.
