Alicia Brown holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Resource Management, is a graduate of the Coro Midwestern Women In Leadership Program, and currently works with the Greater Dayton Pro-Life Education Foundation as a speaker for their teen moms program . With her husband, she now serves as the Worship Leader for Kettering Church. However, she notes her greatest reward as being a military spouse and mother of four beautiful children, currently ages 3, 5,6 & 7.
Alicia traded in her Nine West Corporate heels for a pair of Pumas (still stylish!) in 2006 to become a stay at home mother. While enthusiastic about the opportunity to nurture and develop her own children, the “dailyness” of being a stay at home mom came quickly. She realized that every goal she set was based from a corporate perspective, so enjoying this journey of motherhood was going to take a paradigm shift. The corner office with a window, job promotions, and rubbing elbows with executives was replaced with smiles from the children, giving hugs & kisses for bumps & bruises and building a healthy family who serves and honors God as the new measure for success. Once she truly learned to “embrace” this season of motherhood, she was able to be free to enjoy this time NOT just endure it! It didn’t happen overnight. It was and continues to be a process.
Her new goal is to take care of her first ministry, her family and then pour into the lives of others. She has a passion for young people and for moms of young children. She is now using her gifts to encourage other mothers on this same journey. Visit www.seasonsofmotherhood.net for more information.
Hi Alicia! I have really enjoyed reading through your blog posts and learning more about you and your family! Thanks so much for sharing:)
Oh. LORD we thank you for the testimonies of those who trust you to guide them into all truth. A refreshing view of what motherhood is about.
