On Motherhood: Episode 1 of Our New Podcast, Southern Voices

May 8, 2018

Ashley is a StyleBlueprint contributor who was born and raised in the South. She loves hiking, travel, photography, and spending time with family and friends.

At last! We are thrilled to bring you the very first episode of StyleBlueprint’s podcast, Southern Voices. The first topic we’re discussing is … MOTHERHOOD!

On episode #1, we talk with three lovely women, each of whom are experiencing motherhood in different ways. Sarah Stone Smith shares what it’s like to be a mom after you’ve lost your own. Leslie Neal sheds light on what it’s like to be a mom to a child with special needs. And Ashley Childers offers insight (and few tips) on how to step into the role of “stepmom” with grace.

Whether you are a mom, have a mom or perhaps have a special maternal relationship with a loved one, we hope you enjoy our first episode. It was a labor of love that was worth every single minute … kind of like having a baby!

On with the show …

19 Locals Share the Greatest Lessons They Learned from Mom

by Alex Hendrickson

Mother's Day honors the women who raised us and, along the way, provided us with a lifetime of lessons. Whether it was to cook eggs in butter or how to stand up for yourself, Mom's advice has always been sound and worth sharing. The wisdom they pass down should be held close and reflected upon often. As your giver of life (or a stand-in who filled the role of Mom for you), these wise women deserve more than just a day of recognition. That said, we are starting Mother's Day celebrations early by hearing from 19 locals on the great lessons they learned from their mothers. <img class="aligncenter wp-image-412599 size-large" title="9 Locals Share the Greatest Lessons They Learned from Mom" src="https://styleblueprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/kelly-sikkema-382044-unsplash-900x519.jpg"
