In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Grace Two Stones Podcast, host Jessica Webb welcomes back returning guest Rasohna Elder for a conversation that moves beyond professional accomplishments and into the heart of motherhood, mentorship, faith, healing, and legacy.

Known for her decades of work as a social worker, nonprofit leader, mentor, and advocate for children and families, Rasohna returns to share the inspiration behind her upcoming book, Mothered. Drawing from more than thirty years of experience serving families and communities, the book blends professional insight with deeply personal reflections honoring her late mother and grandmother and the women who helped shape her life.

Throughout this conversation, Jessica and Rasohna explore what it truly means to raise children with intention and how being mothered well impacts generations. They discuss the importance of community support, healthy mentorship, and the reality that parenting was never meant to happen in isolation. Together they challenge modern ideas that suggest families should do everything alone and instead highlight the value of building trusted circles of support.

The episode also dives into difficult but necessary conversations about parenting patterns, generational cycles, and the responsibility adults have to examine what they pass down to their children. Rasohna shares lessons learned through years of serving families and supporting children in challenging situations, emphasizing that growth requires humility, wisdom, and intentional choices.

One of the most moving parts of the conversation centers on faith and decision-making. Rasohna speaks openly about learning to seek God’s direction through life’s transitions, closed doors, difficult seasons, and parenting decisions. Through personal stories and testimony, she explains how prayer, obedience, and spiritual discernment shaped major moments in her family’s life and influenced how she approaches leadership, motherhood, and mentorship.

Jessica also brings her perspective as a therapist and educator, offering reflections on emotional healing, safe relationships, and why so many adults are still learning how to give the love they may not have received themselves. Together they unpack the importance of creating environments where children can thrive emotionally, spiritually, and relationally.

This episode is also a conversation about legacy. Not simply leaving financial resources behind, but building a family culture rooted in character, integrity, compassion, and faith. Rasohna shares why she believes children benefit from seeing kindness modeled consistently and why mentorship should always begin with personal responsibility and authentic leadership.
