Mothers Who Know

#292. I Have to Do It Myself? Breaking Isolation & Building Your Team


Listen Later

Welcome to the Mothers Who Know Podcast, hosted by Karen Broadhead—a faith-based place for women to remember the Spirit God gave them, reject isolation and shame, and strengthen their ability to support their families through Jesus Christ.

In this Mom Power episode, we talk about one of the most common (and most costly) beliefs moms carry:
“I can do it myself… I have to do it myself.”

When parenting is hard—especially when a child or loved one is struggling with pornography, depression, anxiety, self-harm, or other unwanted behaviors—many moms quietly try to push through alone. But isolation is exactly where shame grows, and where Satan works us over.

In this conversation you’ll hear:

  • Why “doing it alone” often comes from fear, shame, embarrassment, or feeling like you don’t have anyone

  • How to keep Heaven as your #1 team member when human support feels limited or unsafe

  • Why building a real support system takes time (friendship is built in hours, not minutes)

  • The power of vulnerability + boundaries: “This is what I can do, and this is what I cannot do.”

  • A testimony-driven reminder: you are not weak for needing support—teams are God’s design

If you’ve ever wanted “one person to cry on their couch,” or felt stuck trying to carry everything alone, this episode is for you.
