Catherine Segars
Catherine is an award-winning actress and playwright—turned stay-at-home-mom—turned author, speaker, blogger and motherhood apologist. With a B.A. in communications and an M.A. in performing arts, Catherine is a staff writer for Crosswalk and iBelieve where her articles reach tens of thousands of readers every month. She is matron of the Mere Mother website, an online space which analyzes critical issues dealing with motherhood, faith, and culture. And she authored “Five Myths About Motherhood That Make You Feel Mere, and Why They’re Wrong,” a provocative ebook which examines how our culture marginalizes mothers. This homeschooling mama of five is dedicated to helping other mothers see their worth in a season when they often feel overwhelmed and irrelevant.
The great irony is that this mother never wanted to be a mom. She was so intent on pursuing the next big part and padding her resume that she almost missed the greatest role of all—MOTHERHOOD. Now she is passionate about sharing her journey of surrender, loss, persistence, and triumph—a journey that included a heartbreaking miscarriage at 44 and a miraculous birth weeks shy of 46. It is an unlikely story that will inspire you to overcome whatever obstacles you face to receive God’s promises for your life!
Catherine has some amazing resources on her site which include her ebook about motherhood myths, a Scripture pamphlet that she used to pray for her miracle child at age 45, gorgeous fine art printables and postables, and original Scripture songs that you can use to hide God’s Word in your heart. And they’re all free!
You can find Catherine’s blog, dramatic blogcast, and other writings at Mere Mother and connect with her on facebook.
