031: Courageous Motherhood Part 2 with Angie Tolpin

<p>Angie Tolpin joins me on the podcast today to chat about all things "courageous mothering". Angie is a wife, homeschooling mom of 7, doula, author, and speaker who is passionate about equipping women, in a Titus 2 manner, to mother well. When we sat down to record we instantly hit it off and ending up chatting for nearly 2 hours! Everything she said was so good, though, so I didn't want to lose any of that content. For that reason, we split up the episode into two parts, the <a href="http://www.hargraveshomeandhearth.com/030-courageous-motherhood-part-1-with-angie-tolpin/"> first having released last Wednesday</a> and the second releasing today.
