Mud Stories is a podcast dedicated to bringing you inspiration in your muddiest moments, hope to make it through your mud, and encouragement for you to know, you are not alone.
In today’s episode I’m talking with Courtney DeFeo—author, blogger, and speaker–wife to Ron, and mom to two darling girls. Courtney is a graduate of Auburn University and, prior to staying home with her girls, worked in marketing for Chick-Fil-A.
Courtney and her husband Ron live in Florida, and she is the author of a recently released book entitled In This House We Will Giggle: Making Virtues, Love, and Laughter a Daily Part of Your Family Life.
In this episode Courtney and I discuss:
- Our mutual love for Disney
- The different roles we juggle
- The struggle it is to figure out where it is we find our identity
- And all about her new book and how we can all grow in virtue through laughter and giggles
Courtney shares:
- Her mud story of wrestling with identity
- Her drive for affirmation
- Our universal struggle with comparison with some tips to overcome it
- And how surrendering our will to God makes way for Him to use each of us for really big things

SCRIPTURE:
Answer me quickly, O Lord! My spirit fails!
Hide not your face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the pit.
Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust.
Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord! I have fled to you for refuge.Psalm 143: 7-9 (ESV)
