Building A Legacy with Morgan Dufault

In this week's episode we are joined by Morgan Dufault.  Morgan is a 28 year old Enneagram 6 (wing 5) living in the sticks of Minnesota with her husband of four years, Sam and their two daughters—Harlyn (2.5), and Florence (Flora) (5 months), their dog, Mia, and 5 chickens.  She is passionate about all things “crunchy”, her faith, and cultivating a foundational home-front that was different from that in which she grew up in. Since the beginning of her relationship with her husband, God impressed the word “legacy” on both their hearts, as they both come from two very broken families. It is their desire to break generational un-health and create a new legacy for their kids & the generations after them. Morgan’s life motto is “beauty from ashes” as she believes that’s a great depiction of what the Holy Spirit has done with her life. She believes in sharing our stories, we have the power to impact others’ lives through our vulnerability.  We talked with Morgan about her estranged relationship with her mother and when she has learned and taken from that relationship and how she is changing the narrative with her own daughters. We talked about how therapy and her relationship with God have helped her heal and why sourdough bread makes her happy.

Hi friends, welcome to the Fit For Motherhood Podcast!!! Thank you for taking time out of your day to listen, we are SO excited to have you with us! We have been friends since early childhood, grew up together and are currently the moms of littles 5 and under. A LITTLE BIT OF INFO ON US Ali lives in central Illinois with her husband, Matt, and their three kids (4, 3 & 1). She is a part time hair stylist and spends the rest of her time at home with her kids. She is an enneagram 9w1. Alyssa lives in Chicago with her husband, Grant, and their two toddlers (3 & 1). She works part time as a pediatric oncology nurse and is also a certified holistic health coach & life coach and the owner of Grounded Roots Coaching. She especially loves working with women during their first year postpartum. She is still trying to figure out her enneagram. WHY ARE WE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE TOPIC OF MOTHERHOOD? • We’re MOMS • We’ve both experienced difficulties in our journeys as moms and have felt alone in dealing with those challenges. • We’re tired of the perfect images that are crafted on social media to which we find ourselves comparing our lives. • For Ali, she has become more self-aware in the last year or so and is tired of being dragged along by life. She has challenged herself to find ways to be more proactive about her mental and physical health because she realizes how much those things affect her ability to parent effectively. WHY ARE WE DOING THIS PODCAST? • Letting moms know that they are not alone in questioning their fitness for parenting • Encouraging other moms to know that we can do the hard things of motherhood, even when we doubt our abilities. • Sharing practical applications and also ideas that can be helpful in keeping ourselves mentally and physically fit for motherhood. We would love to have you with us every week as we talk together through topics that are important to us (and hopefully you!), interview other moms who are walking through all the different issues that come with the different stages of motherhood, and bond together over the things we have in common that truly make us fit for motherhood.
