🎙️ EP 343 Don't Wait Until She Wins to Support Her! (Part 1)

(Solo episode w/ Ildiko Ferenczi)

ENTREPRENEUR PARENTS PODCAST

Hosted by Dan Caldwell and Ildiko Ferenczi

Somewhere tonight, a mother is building something after everyone else has gone to sleep. She may be packing an order at her kitchen table, recording a podcast in a closet, designing a product during nap time, learning how to build a website, or simply finding the courage to share an idea she can't stop thinking about.

In this special Moms Supporting Moms conversation from the Becoming Unshakableseries, Ildiko Ferenczi explores why some of the most meaningful support happens beforesuccess makes supporting someone popular. Before the big audience. Before the polished branding. Before everyone else has decided her work is worth noticing.

Because sometimes the difference between a mother giving up and trying one more time is simply discovering that somebody saw the effort. Somebody understood what it cost her to keep showing up. Somebody cared before the applause became loud.

🌱 In This Episode, You'll Discover

  • Why visible support can matter more than silent admiration
  • How one sincere comment, recommendation, review, purchase, or introduction can create real movement
  • Why supporting another mother doesn't mean pretending everything she creates is perfect
  • The difference between an unfinished idea and an unworthy idea
  • Why early entrepreneurs need honest encouragement and thoughtful feedback
  • How comparison and scarcity can keep women from supporting one another
  • Why another mother's opportunity doesn't diminish your own
  • How one mother's success can strengthen families, create jobs, and open doors for other women
  • How husbands and fathers can encourage the gifts and dreams developing in the mothers they love

🤝 Turn Belief Into Action

There is a difference between privately believing a woman is doing meaningful work and allowing her to know it.

A thoughtful comment tells her the message reached someone.

An honest review helps another customer make a decision.

A recommendation transfers something advertising can't simply buy: trust.

An introduction may open a door she couldn't have reached alone.

A purchase might provide the resources she needs to make the next version better.

Support doesn't have to be enormous to be significant.

It has to be sincere.

💛 Support Isn't Charity

Supporting mothers doesn't mean buying something you don't need or recommending something you don't believe in.

Real support still has standards. We can be generous and discerning at the same time.

But be careful not to confuse unpolished with unpromising.

The mother building in front of you may not be showing you the final version. She may simply be showing you the best version she can create with the resources, knowledge, and time she has today.

She doesn't need people pretending she's already arrived.

She may need a few honest people willing to help her get there.

📖 Scripture From This Episode

Ecclesiastes 4:9

"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor."

We can't do the work God entrusted to someone else. Encouragement can't replace discipline, and support can't replace quality.

But our support can meet someone's labor and help it travel farther.

Sometimes God answers a woman's prayer for encouragement through another person who simply decides to speak.

💭 Questions to Reflect On

Think of one mother whose work you genuinely respect.

  • Have you ever specifically told her what you appreciate?
  • Have you supported her somewhere other people could see it?
  • Have you recommended her to someone who could genuinely use what she offers?
  • Have you quietly admired her while assuming she already knows?
  • Has comparison ever made it uncomfortable to draw attention to another woman's success?

Then write her name down and remind yourself:

"I don't have to wait until she's successful to help something good move forward."

👑 This Week's Legacy Move

Choose one mother whose work you sincerely believe in and stop being a silent observer.

Leave the review. Share the episode. Recommend the business. Make the introduction. Send an encouraging message. Become a repeat customer if the work deserves it.

Don't make your support performative.

Make it steady, credible, and real.

❤️ Final Encouragement

A mother doesn't need thousands of strangers pretending to believe in her.

She needs the right people responding honestly.

The customer who returns. The listener who shares the episode because it helped them. The friend who recommends her when she isn't in the room to promote herself. The person who can someday say:

"I saw what you were building before everyone else decided it mattered."

And if you're the mother building quietly right now, don't mistake an unfinished beginning for a failed calling.

Your small audience doesn't mean your work has no value. Your imperfect first version doesn't mean you should stop. You're allowed to learn while you build and become more skillful as you continue.

Keep improving. Keep listening. Keep serving. Keep becoming capable of carrying what you've been praying for.

And when the rest of us recognize a mother creating something honest, useful, and worthy, let's not wait until the world gives us permission to believe in her.

Don't wait until the crowd becomes loud to add your voice.

Help something good move forward. Not someday. Now.

[00:00:00] Somewhere tonight a mother is sitting at her kitchen table after everyone else has gone to sleep. There's a cold cup of matcha or coffee or something juicy sitting beside her. A children's cup next to that. Laundry waiting in the other room.

[00:00:23] And one order that she's carefully wrapping with her own hands. She places in a handwritten thank you letter. Maybe it's her first order. Maybe, maybe it's the only order she received all month.

[00:00:42] Perhaps she's recorded a video six times before she finally found the courage to post it. She checked the lighting. She changed the words. She almost deleted the entire thing because suddenly it felt embarrassing to want people to care about something that she created.

[00:01:04] She had a second guess. That feeling of second guessing herself. But you know what she did? She posted it. And then she waited. And then another mother sighed.

[00:01:21] Listen, she could have kept scrolling. It would have been easy. No one would have known. But she stopped. She watched the whole video. She left a thoughtful comment. She shared it with someone who might genuinely need what that mother created. And somewhere on the other side of the screen, a woman who was beginning to question whether any of this was working on her.

[00:01:50] And she was like, no one is worth it. She received a reason to keep going. That is the part we underestimate. Sometimes the difference between a mother giving up and trying again is knowing that someone else saw the effort and valued it.

[00:02:08] Someone understood what it cost her to show up when she was so exhausted. She really didn't have the time for it. Someone cared before the applause became loud. It's so easy to support someone after everyone already knows her name. It's easy to celebrate the business once it's successful. It's safe to comment. Everybody's commenting. I may as well comment too.

[00:02:37] It's so easy to share that product after it sells out. You know it's successful. Everybody told you. But character shows up earlier than that. Character shows up while the room is still quiet. Before the numbers look impressive. Before supporting her becomes popular. Before everyone else decides she's worth noticing.

[00:03:06] We were talking about this in the community. About supporting each other. And what I'm going to, the invitation that I'm going to give to you is let's not wait until she wins to support her.

[00:03:29] Your support, your support might become part of how she gets there. Right? Push every button. Send the comment. Share it. Message her. We can create a difference in someone that felt like giving up. Get comfortable, my friends. Because we're about to have an incredibly valuable conversation.

[00:03:56] Grab your favorite snacks. Your favorite people. If this is your time alone, enjoy it. And let's go. Oh, that's better. Right, babe? She founded an architectural concrete company. He founded a hundred million dollar clothing company.

[00:04:25] She took the world by storm as a social media star. He took the world by storm as a famous serial entrepreneur. Together we started a business. And had babies. Now we're figuring out the best ways to do both. Join us as we learn from other entrepreneurs going through the same life struggles. As they share their life hacks about success, love, kids. And everything in between. Welcome back to Becoming Unshakeable.

[00:04:52] Brought to you by the Entrepreneur Parents Podcast. Today we're going to do a little series about moms supporting moms. We're having this conversation the other day and we just thought, Hey, why don't we do a few different podcasts about this topic? It takes bravery. It takes courage. It takes a lot to put yourself out there in this new season.

[00:05:22] And many women out there are stepping into their new identity. And they're looking for a way to be creative. Not to make millions or trillions of dollars. But they just, they want to find a way to express themselves. They can't yet go out to events or, you know, that life is different. And it's a beautiful different. But what if we supported each other?

[00:05:49] What if the husbands listening got together with their wives and supported other families? Because that's what it takes. Something important is happening right now. Mothers are starting to build in public. They're starting a business from kitchen tables. Recording podcasts in closets. Designing products during nap time. The babies are asleep.

[00:06:19] They have a little bit of time to get creative. They're writing books after bedtime. Sharing their story that God blessed them with. Good times end. The struggles. It's the blueprint. They're learning technology they were once told was not for them. Right?

[00:06:39] We hear that moms are using AI to get rid of some of that mental load that is, that is, it's, it's, it's, it's a thing. It really is a thing. The mental load. Just to lighten it. They're using AI. In ways that, that perhaps the people that created AI never imagined that women, that these mothers would be using it.

[00:07:06] They're starting over after losing income. Perhaps they've had to empty out bank accounts to keep the family going. Things have been, things have been tough. They're trying to step in, trying to help out. They left careers. They're raising children. They're raising children, surviving difficult seasons, and wondering whether, whether there was still room for their, their dreams, their God-given calling.

[00:07:35] For generations, mothers have, have built quietly. Now, more of that work is finally becoming visible. We see it. It's like this wave. The question is not whether mothers are ready to step forward. The question is, what will the rest of us do when they do decide to step forward?

[00:08:03] I think it's safe to say, we all keep seeing women say, if I see another mother building something, I'm pushing every button. I'm sharing. I'm messaging. I'm sharing in my story. I understand exactly what they mean. They're saying, I will not consume her courage silently.

[00:08:30] I will not watch her take a risk and pretend I didn't see it. Because that's happened so many times in the past. Cringe. She's starting this business. This mom. She's starting a podcast. Oh my gosh. She's starting a, she's writing a book. Oh my goodness. Right?

[00:08:54] These women, these mothers are not going to, they're not going to sit there and watch these women take a risk and pretend that they didn't see it. Right? Because they genuinely value what she created. And we're going to let her know if I genuinely love what she's doing.

[00:09:19] Even, even if I see past the messy parts, I just want to let her know that I see it. Even in the infant stages before it's, it's noticed. I'm huge on that. You can ask my husband. I said this, she's going to go far. She's going to make it. She's going to, she, she, mark my words. She's going to make it. Because we know what it cost another mother to show up.

[00:09:48] We do, don't we? It's not easy. The post that took us 12 seconds, not even 12 seconds, three seconds, right? Just a couple seconds, four seconds to watch. Maximum 12 seconds. It may have taken her hours. Seriously. The courage to get there.

[00:10:14] And perhaps it's not that she, perhaps she didn't get to, to say everything she wanted to say the way that she wanted to. The way that she planned or imagined it, but she just put it out there anyway. With the flaws in the infant stages of it. She created something. And it wasn't easy. It wasn't easy.

[00:10:44] It wasn't easy because in between it all, someone needed a snack. Someone needed help into the bathroom. They needed, they needed help with potty time. The baby woke up in between, right? The light, the lighting, the lighting changed. She was doing a bunch of stuff and dang it, the light's gone, right? The best lighting, what is it? It's right by your window. But now it's night. The lighting changed. Continuity.

[00:11:12] She lost her train of thought. Mom brain kicked in. So she began again. And by the time we see the finished post, we don't see everything that surrounded it. We don't see her filming. We don't see her filming before the children woke up, answering messages from the school pickup line or the piano lesson line or whatever, whatever it may be.

[00:11:43] We don't see her printing labels after bedtime when she's so exhausted. She's trying to help out the family. Times are a little tough in her house. She's learning how to build a website while trying to remember whether she moved the laundry into the dryer. She's got to do it herself. She's got to bootstrap. She doesn't have the extra money. And what we see is the final result.

[00:12:11] But as mothers, right? As mothers, we do see the invisible work behind it. We see it when the world doesn't. They don't know how much work went into it. The rest of the world doesn't because they can go to a coffee shop, get their work done peacefully or the office or wherever they do their work. They can go do it peacefully.

[00:12:41] They don't have to juggle a million things. That's why our support carries a different kind of weight, a different kind of meaning. It says, I know this did not appear out of nowhere. It didn't just bam. I know you made this while carrying a life that already asks you for so much. And I want you to know that your effort reached someone.

[00:13:11] There's a difference between privately thinking someone is doing a wonderful job and allowing her to know it. There's a difference between watching every post and responding to one. Yes? There's a difference between telling your husband she has a great business and telling someone who could actually become her customer.

[00:13:42] We could tell our friends, wow, this is what's going on. She just created this thing. She solved a problem. Or she's starting something. Let's support her. Let's support her. Admiration privately. That may feel kind. Sending a text. You're doing a great job. You're doing a great job. Hey, can you send me some product for free?

[00:14:11] That's not going to move the needle. Visible support creates the movement. A sincere comment tells the woman behind the work that her message landed with you. Or that you see you can relate. It also tells everyone else who sees it that something here may be worth supporting. Some people aren't courageous to be the first one to comment. They'll just swipe by it.

[00:14:41] I don't know why that happens. I can't explain it exactly. But it happens. And it happens a lot. A recommendation transfers trust. When you tell a friend, I've been watching what this mother is building and I think you would love it. You'd love it. It's so great. You're not merely just sharing a link.

[00:15:06] You're lending her something that she can't purchase through advertising. Your credibility. That matters. Most people do not discover meaningful businesses because a giant billboard told them to care. In some situations when you got the budget, oh gosh, yes, marketing can do wonders.

[00:15:35] Truth is, they discover them because someone they trust said, you should see this. You should try this. That's how small business begins reaching beyond the people who already know them. It's word of mouth. Right? And it doesn't have to be one big, huge share.

[00:16:00] It's the many shared moments that creates that ripple effect through human beings deciding not to remain silent about work that they believe deserves to be seen. Or maybe they don't fully believe in it yet, but they see, not even see, but as mothers, we understand what went into it. We know how hard it is.

[00:16:29] So just like, push every button, comment. Share a message. I see you. This is wonderful. It helps us not give up. And let's be honest, supporting another mother doesn't mean lying to her. It doesn't mean pretending that something is perfect while it's still being figured out.

[00:16:54] But we have to be careful not to confuse unpolished with unpromising because sometimes we see something and it's not packaged perfectly with a bow. It's not there yet. But we can't judge it yet. We can't. I mean, I don't hang out with people that gossip, but I'm sure there's people. Oh, this is. Oh, my gosh. This is so cringe. I can't believe. No, change it into positive words.

[00:17:23] Positive words. Positive encouragement. Some of the businesses we admire today began with a strange idea. It began with imperfect packaging, awkward presentations, and founders who were still learning how to explain what they could see. They couldn't even put it into the perfect words of what they were trying to create. It's not easy.

[00:17:48] Think about how unusual an apple cider vinegar drink may have sounded before people understood what it became and was valued at several billion dollars. Imagine. Just imagine the conversations that went on behind her back. This is so silly. Are you kidding? Who's going to want this? Everyone wanted it.

[00:18:18] Everybody has seen it now. They've purchased it. Maybe not everybody, but most people, and that's why it's valued at multi-billions of dollars. Someone had to try it before it was everywhere. Someone had to believe in an idea before the branding was polished, before the shelves were filled with it, and the rest of the world decided that it made sense. That, yes, this is a good product.

[00:18:46] Yes, it's a good product now because I see it everywhere. Everyone's talking about it. Well, that's what early support looks like, believing in it before it's gone there. Sometimes the mother building in front of you is not presenting the final version, so don't judge it. She's presenting the best version she can with what she has right now. She may be funding everything herself.

[00:19:16] She may not have the money for professional photography, for packaging, for advertising even. No graphic designer, no marketing team yet. She's doing it herself. And we know that. We as mothers, we know that. The rest of the world, you can kind of forgive it because they have the time. They may have the resources. They may have the money saved up. But these women, they gave up their careers. They gave up everything.

[00:19:46] So we know what goes into it. She may be learning how to build the website at night. No clue. She could hire a team, but she doesn't have the funds for it. She has to figure it out. She may be filming between pickups for dance lessons or whatever it may be, school. She may be filming between dinner. She may be filming the dinner, the day.

[00:20:14] The people closest to her may not understand the idea yet. Listen, her husband may not even believe in it. Family may be trying to talk her out of it. Her friends may be watching, but really, really quietly. Shh, don't say anything. She's doing this. Don't tell you. I mean, don't tell her I told you she's building this. She got a podcast. Shh, don't say anything. Don't say anything.

[00:20:44] She may be too afraid to ask someone or anyone to help because she's trying to convince herself that this calling deserves a chance. She's not even sure about it herself. And that doesn't mean that the idea doesn't have value. It may simply mean she's just in the beginning of it. And beginnings are often messy. The first post may be awkward.

[00:21:13] The label may change. The title may change. To the podcast. The message may not be completely clear yet. She may still be finding her voice. Learning her customer. Improving the product. And discovering what the business is actually capable of becoming. Support her there too.

[00:21:41] Don't wait until she has enough money to look successful before deciding that she's worth being taken seriously. Don't wait until the package is beautiful. The website is perfect. And thousands of strangers have already approved. Sometimes a mother does not need everyone to believe in the finished company.

[00:22:11] She just needs people willing to let her know she's doing a good job to help her reach the next version of what she's building. Maybe you become one of the first customers. Maybe you try what she's creating and tell her honestly what you loved about it. What resonated with you.

[00:22:38] You may offer thoughtful feedback that really helps her improve without making her feel foolish for beginning. Maybe you share the part of her work you already believe in while giving her room to keep learning and improving and being creative. You don't have to make promises about something that you don't know yet. Just simply tell the truth.

[00:23:08] I see how hard you're working. I believe there's something here. I tried it and this is what I loved about it. Keep going. I want to see what this becomes. It's not pity. It's not silly. It's not treating a mother like a charity project. It's treating...

[00:23:36] Truly, it's treating her like... The whole effort mattered. Like an entrepreneur in development. She's in the developmental stages. Because every entrepreneur needs more than just compliments. She needs early attention. She needs first customers.

[00:24:02] She needs honest feedback that will help her grow in the right direction. She needs people willing to return to her product as it keeps improving. She really needs that word of mouth before she can afford marketing. She can't afford marketing. Think about it. Think about it. Come on. Come on, people.

[00:24:32] She needs someone who understands that the version she is showing you today... It may not be the version the entire world eventually knows. But you were there in the infant stages. Supporting a mother means respecting what she's building enough to engage with it honestly. And that's not after it becomes excellent.

[00:25:03] Because your support becomes part of how she gets there. Think of how important that is to what she's building. And we can do that. Why? Again, because we understand how important this is. You can comfortably scroll past it or choose to not push play or not invest in the product. You can do that. It's easy.

[00:25:33] Nobody would know. Or you could help something good move forward even when no one knows that you helped. That's where character becomes visible. They don't know if you helped. They won't know if you helped. And they won't know if you didn't. But you do. It's not what we say about supporting women.

[00:26:00] We could say we support women all day long. It's what we do when none of them are standing out in the beginning. When none of them see that support. We've been taught to look at someone else's opportunity as though it took something away from us. I don't know where that jealousy or animosity came from. I don't know where that came from.

[00:26:29] I'm guessing it's the way that they were brought up. Our last episode talked about it a little bit. That I refuse to be like that in my home. Or surround myself with women like that. That gossip or put other people down. But listen, another mother receiving an order is not going to cancel yours.

[00:26:54] Someone listening to her podcast did not silence your voice on your podcast. We need to think bigger because another woman's business is not going to close out our future. In fact, every mother who builds something substantial expands what the next mother can imagine.

[00:27:21] She normalizes the sight of mothers leading companies. She helps investors recognize mothers as serious founders. That's happening right now before our eyes. She shows children that motherhood and meaningful work do not have to erase each other. She brings money to her family. What else does she do?

[00:27:51] She creates jobs. She hires other mothers. And she makes things different in the business for them. Right? I was just reading about another founder, a mother. She allows women to bring their babies to work if they still desire to work after the babies. She does a lot of other great things. And she's not the only one. What else does she do?

[00:28:19] She purchases from other small businesses. Right? Her success does not end with another mother creating something great. It moves. That is why supporting one, just one mother can reach far beyond just a transaction. You may think you left a comment.

[00:28:49] You may think it's something simple, but think about it. You may have helped someone else trust her enough to click. Hey, a lot of people are just looking. Oh, what did the other person? Oh, there's no comment. So I'm not going to comment either. Be the first woman. And I love the trend that's happening right now. She's a mother. Okay. Ding, ding, ding. Every button. And a comment. Just comment. Think, what did I say? What did I say the other day?

[00:29:19] I'm going to comment five times. Five times. Hey, everybody, comment five times. Let's get this going. You may just make a purchase. But perhaps that order, that one order paid for the software she needed to continue. Right?

[00:29:48] Needed to pay for the email software. She may have needed to pay for the website cost. Whatever it is. There's costs that go into business. Sometimes she can't even start her idea because she doesn't have the money to begin. You may think you shared just a post. Maybe a simple thing. But perhaps the right person saw it and opened a door neither of you could have predicted.

[00:30:18] We're not always going to know what our support has set into motion. But that doesn't mean that us making a move is insignificant. It's so important. More important than we realize. Because again, we may never realize what the ripple effect has caused. But it's going to be something good. I want to share this with you.

[00:30:49] Before you reach for that coffee, consider this. What if the energy boost you're looking for isn't in your cup but in your cells? I challenge you to swap your morning coffee for Shilajit by Symbiotica. And here's what can happen. No crash. No jitters. Just clean, sustained energy.

[00:31:13] Plus mental clarity and trace minerals that our bodies actually need. That are actually starving for it to be honest. This isn't just a supplement. It's an ancient adaptogen sourced from the Himalayas that supports mycochondrial function, stamina, and overall vitality. Your coffee never did that. Okay? Let's just be honest. Try it for a week and tell me your body doesn't thank you.

[00:31:44] Symbiotica's Shilajit is next level wellness. And honestly, you may never go back to drinking coffee. Click the link below down in the bio and get your Shilajit today. Ecclesiastes chapter 4 verse 9 tells us two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. A good return for their labor. Listen to that.

[00:32:12] There's something so beautiful about refusing to make everyone else build a loan or someone else. Let's just say someone else build a loan. Because the thing that we do could be so simple and small. And it doesn't mean doing the work for someone.

[00:32:38] It doesn't mean carrying a dream that God has specifically given to another person. But understanding that human beings were never designed to accomplish anything or whatever they're going after in isolation. And your encouragement, that's not going to replace her discipline. She still has to work hard, say no to things, and put things into motion herself.

[00:33:09] Your comment, that's not going to replace the quality of her work or build her entire business. But your support can meet her labor and help it to travel farther. Visualize that for a moment. Your efforts, that's help.

[00:33:35] And that's going to set it into motion in a way none of us can predict. Sometimes God answers a woman's prayer for encouragement through another mother who decides to speak and share or purchase. Write a review. Take a moment and grab those journals.

[00:34:04] Something to write with. I want you to think about this. I want you to think about a mother out there whose work that you support or genuinely respect. Think of someone creating something that you believe is valuable.

[00:34:32] Or you see the value that it could create for others. And think about this. Have you told her? Have you supported her with the words that she perhaps needed to hear so that other people could see it? Write this down. This is brave.

[00:35:01] This is brave work. Because secretly, maybe it's what we're wishing for too. But just write it down. Because are we being that person? Are we being the blessings that we're wishing for? Have you quietly admired her while assuming she already knows? Yes, no. What does that bring up in you?

[00:35:33] Write down what has stopped you from responding. Was it the way that you were brought up? Was there jealousy in your home? Resentment when someone else was doing better than you? Or are you able to cheer another person on? Mainly a woman. A mother like you. Do you believe your comment would matter?

[00:36:03] Or wouldn't matter? What makes you feel that way? Did part of you feel uncomfortable drawing attention to someone else? Sharing in your story? Did you plan to support her later once you had more money or more time? A larger audience of your own? Write her name down.

[00:36:32] Then write one sentence beneath it. I don't have to wait until she's successful to help something good move forward. And now, I want you to write down your idea. And it doesn't have to be an entrepreneurial idea. It just could be, maybe you want the courage to share publicly.

[00:37:00] And it doesn't have to be just on social media. But what is the vision and the calling that you have on your life? Is it maybe to compliment a mother at the playground that looks like she's struggling? Listen, this could stir up anything in you. Or what are you wishing? Maybe the support that you had. Write it down.

[00:37:30] What are you wishing for? Are you wishing that people could pray over your marriage? Or pray over your strength? I don't really know what it is. But I know you're feeling something. So write it down. Don't judge it. Just write it down. What is the vision that you have over your life? And what do you wish? This is just for you to see.

[00:38:00] What do you wish others could pour into you? What would make you smile if others did that for you? This is never judge it. Just write it down. Nobody has to see it. Nobody has to see it. You can even throw it away after.

[00:38:27] This week, I have a challenge for you. So choose a mother or many mothers. I have many mothers that I'm always rooting for. And stop being a silent observer. And don't try to overwhelm her with promises or make the support like a performance.

[00:38:56] Just become intentional. When something she creates helps you or you admire it, tell her why. When you meet someone who needs what another mother can offer, connect them. Be a connector. There's so many amazing connectors in the motherhood community.

[00:39:25] If you purchase from her, share your honest experience after. Share the things that you liked about it. Sometimes it's in the infant stages and it's not perfect. We don't need to be negative. But find the good in it. Let your support become useful, valuable. Not only loud. One day, when it's already big. Be steady.

[00:39:54] Be credible. And be honest. Just be real. Right? If she shares a link, buy it. If it's inexpensive or if it's something that you need. If she has a show, let's listen. If she has a... If she's starting a... A lot of moms are starting channels.

[00:40:24] Like it. Comment. Even if you're the only one. Mothers don't need thousands of strangers pretending to support her. She needs the right people responding honestly. It's going to set off the algorithm for her. She needs customers who are going to return. The listener who shares the episode because it lifted something in them or touched them.

[00:40:55] The friend who recommends a mother when she's standing out there hoping someone would even promote her. But she still has the courage to support another mom out there. It's the mom who says, I saw what you're building before everyone else decided it mattered. Those are the conversations.

[00:41:23] This is the moment for mothers to stop treating support like it's a limited resource or something. That it's tough. It only takes a few seconds. Right? And we don't have to wait for the algorithm to choose her because we could be behind it. We could be the ones sharing. Sharing in our story. Liking. Commenting. Right?

[00:41:52] We don't have to wait for the celebrity to discover her and decide she was valuable. Go, what the heck? Why hasn't anyone shared this mama? Don't wait for the headline. Don't wait for the viral video or a giant number beside her name. We could decide that her work deserves a response while it's still becoming.

[00:42:22] Don't wait for the viral video. Don't wait until the business is successful. Place the order. Right? If you admire it, you think, ah, this is great. Place the order if you can afford to. Buy one for a friend. Don't wait until the podcast is famous to share the episode that you enjoyed that made you feel something. Don't wait until the book becomes a bestseller

[00:42:49] to tell someone that it moved you. Buy the first one. Right? You don't have to wait for the crowd. We're not sheep. We're lionesses. Right? If she's building something, she's working, it's honest, it's useful, it's worthy. Let her know that you see the work today. Now.

[00:43:17] Don't wait for someday. Do it now. That's the challenge. Maybe it's hard. Maybe that's not the way you grew up. But you can change. I say it's never too late if you start today. Okay, let's come together in prayer. I always love to lock this in together. When two or more come together, I always say that. That's the most powerful. It's so beautiful. So let's get together to pray.

[00:43:48] Heavenly Father, thank you for every mother using the gifts you placed inside her. Thank you for the women building through exhaustion, uncertainty, sacrifice, and seasons when they weren't sure. when very few people understood what they were trying to create. Give us generous hearts. Free us from envy, silent comparison,

[00:44:17] and the belief that another person's opportunity threatens what you have prepared for us. Teach us to recognize excellent work and respond with integrity. Help us use our voices that you blessed us with, our influence, our resources, and our relationships wisely. Show us where our encouragement

[00:44:46] could strengthen someone who is close to giving up. Help us become women who don't merely talk about support, but practice it with sincerity. Bless the work of every mother listening today. Give her wisdom. Give her endurance. Connect her with the people she's meant to serve. Connect her with the people that are meant

[00:45:16] to support her. And remind her that work done faithfully is never invisible to you. You say this in Jesus' name. Amen. If a mother came to your mind during this episode, do not leave her sitting quietly in your thoughts. Come on, reach out, send the message, support what

[00:45:45] she's building, and let her know you're not waiting until everyone else recognizes her value for you to stand beside her.

[00:46:45] what it feels like to pursue something either with you or even on her own. on her own. Believe in her before there's evidence. Encourage her to lean into her calling God placed on her life. Help her create the time and space to begin again. And when she's already, when she's ready to use

[00:49:44] your story because I want to encourage your work too. I want to, I want to cheer for what you are becoming too. I know how hard it is. Trust me, there's many times I'm silently visualizing myself kicking and screaming because I'm so exhausted. I don't feel like doing the podcast. I don't want to sit here and talk. And then I think of your beautiful faces, your beautiful families, and what God has placed, the calling he

[00:50:13] has placed in our family's heart. And all of a sudden it's, it's not about me. It's not about me being tired or not feeling like it. Yes. And there's something so powerful about mothers supporting other mothers. And fathers, you are part of this movement too.

[00:50:42] And meaningful work reaches the people it was created to serve. That's the beautiful thing. This is only the beginning of our moms supporting moms series. Maybe broken up, but when we had the conversation, I didn't realize how badly moms needed support. You know, I only thought it was me.

That's why it's so powerful when we do it. Until next time, protect what matters. Keep building your family's legacy. And remember, the people in front of you, your family, they're all part of the calling. They're part of the dream.
