• Ep 73 // How to Stop the Hidden Habit Draining Your Joy as a Busy Christian Mom
    Oct 29 2024

    Do you ever feel like joy is just slipping through your fingers, no matter how much you try to hold onto it? As busy Christian moms, it’s all too easy to feel like we’re falling short when we compare ourselves to others. In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into one subtle but powerful habit that’s often the root cause of this struggle: comparison.

    Comparison can weave its way into our daily lives so quietly that we hardly notice it’s there, slowly eroding our peace and stealing the joy that God intends for us. If you’ve ever felt restless, not good enough, or discouraged, this episode is your invitation to discover how comparison might be influencing your life more than you realize.

    Together, we’ll unpack why comparison feels so natural and why it’s such a challenge to break free from. I’ll share insights into how comparison actually robs you of joy one thought at a time, distracting you from the unique blessings God has already placed in your life. You’ll learn practical steps to identify your triggers—whether it’s scrolling on social media or having certain conversations—and how to take back control by practicing gratitude and celebrating others. These tools aren’t just feel-good ideas; they’re proven ways to shift your perspective and help you find true contentment.

    This episode also explores the power of remembering your unique journey and God’s specific purpose for your life. Scripture reminds us in Ephesians 2:10 that “we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works,” and that His plan for each of us is intentional. Focusing on this truth can bring a renewed sense of joy, helping us release the need to measure up to others and embrace the life God has designed for us.

    So, if you’re ready to break free from the joy-draining habit of comparison, tune in today. Together, we’ll reclaim the peace that comes from focusing on God’s plan for you and finding joy in the blessings He’s already provided.

    Takeaway Highlights:

    • Understand why comparison feels automatic and why it’s so hard to let go.
    • Learn how one small thought of comparison can spiral into feelings of discontent and drain your joy.
    • Discover practical ways to stop comparison in its tracks, from recognizing triggers to embracing gratitude.
    • Reflect on your own journey and God’s unique calling for your life, finding peace in His purpose for you.

    Join me in this episode for a heartfelt conversation, practical steps, and the encouragement you need to release comparison and renew your joy.

    Oct 22 2024

    Are you constantly feeling overwhelmed, busy, and burnt out? Do you find yourself saying, “I’m just so busy!” every time someone asks how you’re doing? If so, this episode is for you! In Ep 72: How to Break Free from Busyness and Overwhelm: Finding Peace Through Faith, we’ll explore how to overcome the constant hustle and embrace true peace by following Jesus’ example.

    In this episode, I dive into powerful biblical principles that show us how to move from a state of busyness to one of peace and rest. We often view busyness as a badge of honor, but Jesus never lived in a state of overwhelm, even with constant demands on His time. From sleeping during a storm to withdrawing for prayer, Jesus models a life of balance, intentionality, and trust in God’s timing.

    Key Highlights:

    • How Jesus stayed calm amidst chaos and never let busyness control His life.
    • Biblical examples from Mark 4:38 and Luke 5:15-16 that show how Jesus handled demands on His time.
    • Practical tips for frazzled Christian moms to embrace rest, reconnect with God, and trust in His promises.
    • Overcoming the urgency culture and finding true peace in God's presence, not in productivity.

    Why This Episode Matters: As Christian working moms, it’s easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of life, constantly juggling work, family, and personal responsibilities. But God offers us a different way to live—a way rooted in His promises, peace, and presence. Through this episode, you’ll learn how to trust God’s timing, reduce anxiety, and create a rhythm of rest in your busy life.

    Takeaways:

    • The importance of slowing down, prioritizing prayer, and resting in God’s promises.
    • A challenge to reflect on your own habits: Are you relying on your own strength or resting in God's peace?
    • Encouragement to trade productivity for peaceful presence, just as Jesus did.

    If you're ready to break free from the never-ending cycle of busyness and embrace peace through faith, this episode is for you. Tune in now and learn how to move from frazzled to faithfully rested!

  • Ep 71 // How Christian Working Moms Can Overcome Mom Guilt: 1 Powerful Solution to Find Peace Now
    Oct 15 2024

    Welcome back to the Faith Led Working Moms Podcast! This episode dives into a struggle many Christian working moms face—mom guilt. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough in balancing faith, family, and work, this episode is for you. We’re unpacking why mom guilt happens and offering a powerful, grace-filled solution to stop it in its tracks.

    Why Does Mom Guilt Happen to Christian Working Moms? As Christian working moms, we often feel torn between the various roles we juggle—wife, mother, employee, and disciple of Christ. Societal pressures and our own high expectations create a culture of guilt, especially when we feel like we’re falling short. Add to this the desire to honor God in all we do, and the tension between family and career can become overwhelming. But the truth is, this guilt is often based on unrealistic expectations that don’t come from God.

    1 Solution to Stop Mom Guilt Now: Rest in God's Grace The key to overcoming mom guilt is embracing God’s grace. You’re not called to perfection, but to faithfulness. Instead of striving to meet impossible standards, take a step back and ask: Are these expectations from God or from the world? God’s grace is sufficient, and He has equipped you for the unique calling on your life. Remember, your worth is found in Christ, not in how well you juggle everything. Lean into His grace, let go of the guilt, and trust that God is walking with you every step of the way.

    Key Takeaways from This Episode

    • Why mom guilt happens: Understanding societal pressures, personal expectations, and how faith plays a role in feeling overwhelmed.
    • A biblical solution: Learn how to rest in God’s grace and let go of unrealistic expectations.
    • Practical tips: Discover a simple yet powerful way to pause and reflect when guilt begins to creep in.

    If you’re tired of the constant pressure to “do it all” and are ready to live more peacefully present, this episode will encourage you to let go of the guilt and embrace the peace and purpose God has for you.

  • Ep 68 // Overcoming Mom Burnout: Faith-Filled Strategies for Working Christian Moms
    Sep 24 2024
    Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or burned out? You’re not alone. In this episode, we explore the reality of burnout in our fast-paced world and how to find renewal and strength through faith. Whether you’re struggling with chronic fatigue, stress, or just feeling drained, this episode offers practical strategies and spiritual encouragement to help you navigate these challenging times. What is Burnout? Burnout is more than just feeling tired; it’s a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress. It can leave us feeling overwhelmed, detached, and depleted. For working moms, the constant demands can make it hard to find balance. Recognizing burnout signs—such as chronic fatigue, irritability, and lack of motivation—is the first step toward addressing it. Biblical Insights on Burnout: Burnout is not a state God intends for us. He offers wisdom in His Word to help us find rest and renewal. Jesus invites us to come to Him with our heavy loads, and Psalm 23:1-3 provides beautiful imagery of rest and restoration. God desires to refresh and renew us, knowing our limits and offering spiritual nourishment. Practical Steps to Manage Burnout: 1. Establish Boundaries: Set limits to protect your time and energy. Say no to extra commitments that don’t align with your priorities. 2. Prioritize Biblical Self-Care: Make time for activities that rejuvenate you. Self-care is essential for maintaining well-being. 3. Seek Support: Don’t hesitate to ask for help from family, friends, or a counselor. Reaching out can provide relief and lighten your load. 4. Create Restful Rhythms: Incorporate practices like prayer, deep breathing, and adequate sleep into your routine to manage stress. 5. Reflect and Reassess: Regularly review your priorities and commitments. Adjust as needed to stay aligned with what matters most to you. Burnout doesn’t have to be permanent. Through God’s grace, we can find new strength and energy. 2 Corinthians 4:16 reminds us that God is renewing us day by day, even when we feel depleted. These moments of burnout can be viewed as invitations from God to seek peace and renewal in Him.

  • Ep 67 // 4 Ways Moms Can Overcome Anxiety: Practical Steps to Find God’s Peace Amidst a Busy Life
    Sep 17 2024
    Anxiety is something many moms struggle with, but it doesn’t have to control your life. In today’s episode, we’re tackling the difficult topic of anxiety, especially for busy, working Christian moms. Between balancing work, raising kids, managing our homes, and living out our faith, it’s easy for anxiety to creep in unnoticed. But God’s peace is available to you, even in the most overwhelming moments. Join us as we explore 4 practical steps to overcome anxiety and experience God’s peace in your everyday life. Episode Highlights: 1. Acknowledge the Anxiety but Don’t Let It Define You Anxiety is something we all experience, and it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with your faith. Philippians 4:6 reminds us to take our anxious thoughts to God through prayer, knowing we are not meant to carry these burdens alone. Give yourself grace—acknowledge the anxiety, but remember that your identity is not in your worry; it's in being a beloved daughter of God. 2. Finding Peace in God’s Promises Isaiah 26:3 speaks of God keeping us in perfect peace when our minds are fixed on Him. Meditate on God’s promises: He is with you (Deuteronomy 31:6), has good plans for you (Jeremiah 29:11), and His peace surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7). Scripture is a powerful tool to combat anxiety. Write down or speak out verses to remind yourself of God’s unshakable truth. 3. Practical Steps to Manage Anxiety as a Christian Mom Start Your Day with Quiet Time: Even 5-10 minutes of prayer or meditation can set a peaceful tone for your day. Breathe and Pause: Practice taking deep breaths and saying a short prayer whenever anxiety creeps in. Don’t Be Afraid to Say No: Set healthy boundaries by saying no to commitments that don’t align with your priorities. Ask for Help: Reach out to your support system. Don’t try to carry the weight alone—God created us to live in community. 4. Leaning on God's Strength 2 Corinthians 12:9 reminds us that God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness. When you feel overwhelmed, lean into God’s grace, knowing that it’s okay to feel weak because His strength is sufficient for you. Anxiety doesn’t define you, and it doesn’t have the final say over your life. God’s peace is always available, no matter what you're facing. Through prayer, meditation on God’s Word, and practical steps like setting boundaries and asking for help, you can experience His peace even in the busiest seasons.
