Mothering Eve
Welcome to Mothering Eve, a podcast for Catholic moms, by Catholic moms - Aprylle and Ruby. We've been inspired by the Holy Spirit to be your village in a society that doesn’t support the community that moms need. We're here to talk with you about the things no one else wants to talk about, with a special focus on faith, nutrition, movement, mental health, communication, and all things motherhood.
Our goal is to help you thrive in motherhood with holiness and grace! Using our God-given talents and interests, we'll be providing you with up to date information to support you; mind, body, soul, and more every Monday.
Come join us as we build this village together.
