Honest conversations, faith-filled perspective, and practical parenting principles for every stage
Raise & Release is a parenting podcast for moms who want to raise confident, healthy kids—and learn how to let go well.
I’m a mom of two who’s been in the trenches of parenting from toddlers to teens and beyond. With my friend Jenny, I share honest, faith-based conversations and practical parenting principles shaped by real life, real mistakes, and real growth. This is a soft place to land for moms who want to parent with intention—without needing to be perfect.
Hello & Welcome
Episode 1
In this opening episode, Jenny Swindle sits down with parent educator and mom Rachel Gunn to talk about the heart behind Raise & Release and what it really means to parent yourself out of a job. Rachel shares how her years as a teacher, her work with moms through Seed of Impact, and her own parenting journey shaped her belief that parenting is less about control and more about discipleship. This episode offers encouragement for moms carrying the weight of outcomes—and a reminder that our job is to plant the seeds, while trusting God with the growth.
