Want to know how to raise healthy teenagers?
Well, we’re gonna dive into the answer to that question and more. Since Mother’s Day is just around the corner, I’m going to be talking with several moms I admire and unpack what it looks like to be a spiritually healthy mom raising spiritually healthy kids.
Today I’m talking with friend, neighbor and fellow author, Kristin Schell, who happens to be the mother of several teenagers. You might remember her as the founder of The Turquoise Table movement which is a ministry designed to help you reach out and love your neighbor.
But she’s also the mother of 4 kiddos. Her son, their oldest, is finishing his freshman year in college. And the other three, her daughters, are in that middle school to high school phase.
Here’s my friend Kristin!
Dear Daughters is a template for those multi-generational conversations and relationships you’re craving.
Dear Daughters is meant to be a bridge between two groups of women–dear daughters and spiritual mamas. Dear daughters are young women in search of spiritual guidance and spiritual mamas are women just a little further down the road with age-old wisdom to share. Each group has valuable insight for the other and the hope is that the reader will invite someone to come alongside them, pore over the included letters together, and pass along wisdom and advice that will make both lives more beautiful, wherever they are in their God story.
This book, ideal for a gift, is a casebound hardcover with ribbon.
In celebration of my new book, Dear Daughters: Love Letters to the Next Generation, releasing today … it is my DELIGHT to introduce you to my mother, Peggy Gerrie. (Though she goes by Mimi.)
She is one of the MOST important people in my life. She is the reason I have energy and love to give to dear daughters in my life. I am so excited for you to know her better. :)
I’m also thrilled for you to meet my dad, Bob Gerrie. Though he’s better known in our family as Papa. Together they are quite the team.
It’s my honor to introduce them to you!
Dear Daughters: Love Letters to the Next Generation is a template for those multi-generational conversations and relationships you’re craving.

So this week, I’m bringing you another podcast interview with a live audience. It’s my second in a series of interviews where I invite an author friend for coffee and conversation, and I invite you into my home too. This week, Emily P. Freeman is joining me for this special format I’m calling Dear Daughters Coffee and Conversation.
Emily P. Freeman has been on my show before, which was all joy. Listen to DD Episode 19.
If you’re interested in joining me for these live interviews (and we’ve had people drive in from all over to join me and my guests) then get yourself on my newsletter list because that’s where you’ll hear firsthand who is coming to town!
In today’s special episode, we’ll be celebrating and discussing her brand new book, The Next Right Thing. It’s a book designed to help you uncover the next right steps in your life. If you’ve ever agonized over something big like what you’re supposed to do with your life, or even something small like if you take a certain class. Or even a medium assignment like what preschool your kids should attend, well then you’ll love hearing Emily today on the podcast. Because not only does she explain how to find the next right steps, she also literally walks someone through it.
If one of your next right steps is to find or be a mentor, I’ve got really good news. My new book, Dear Daughters, is out NEXT week!
And actually, it’s a template for those multi-generational conversations and relationships you’re craving. Good news is: I have a pre-order bonus that you’ll love. Order your book now and you’ll get 16 questions to dive deep AND you’ll get 4 of our favorite family recipes. Because my favorite place to ask questions is at the table. SO gather your people at the table with some good food and dive deep in conversation.

So this week’s podcast is pretty exciting for two different reasons …
First, this is my very first podcast with a live audience. I decided to invite podcast guests to my home for coffee and conversation so that you could sit with us, listen in and then ask all the questions. I’m really excited about this format called Dear Daughters Coffee and Conversation.

The second piece of exciting news is to kick off my DD Coffee & Conversation series … Audrey Roloff is on the show! Audrey and her husband, Jeremy, were on the TV show Little People, Big World. Matter of fact, their wedding was televised. Did you see it? It was beautiful. And she and her husband Jeremy have a beautiful love story.
They have a brand new book out this week called: A Love Letter Life. Inside the book which they co-authored, they encourage couples to intentionally pursue a love story that never ends.
I know you’ll love getting to know Audrey just like we do in this interview.
Oh hey, there’s a pre-order bonus when you buy Dear Daughters: Love Letters to the Next Generation!
