    In this short guided meditation from Building Yourself with Grace, we slow down and reconnect with what truly matters.

    After learning about building a solid sense of self in Episode 22, this practice helps you pause, notice the emotions or “parts” that may be leading you, and gently return to living within your values.

    Through simple breathing, reflection, and affirmations, you’ll set a daily intention and ground yourself in who you are becoming.

    This is a practice you can return to anytime you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of your next step.

  • 22 | How to Build a Solid Sense of Self: Finding Your True Identity Through Values

    If you’ve ever felt unsure of who you are outside of your roles — mom, wife, employee, caregiver — this episode is for you.

    In this episode of Building Yourself with Grace, we explore what it truly means to develop a solid sense of self. Not a version of you shaped by outside validation, approval, or productivity; but a grounded identity rooted in your core values.

    We talk about:

    • What a solid sense of self actually is
    • Why so many women develop a “reflected sense of self” based on others’ opinions
    • How living outside your values creates internal conflict
    • The connection between values, boundaries, and emotional resilience
    • Practical steps to identify your top 5 values
    • How alignment builds self-trust over time
    • A solid sense of self begins with living intentionally in alignment with who you truly are and who you can become.

      If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself, this episode will help you reset, refocus, and rebuild from the inside out.

    • 21.A | Guided Meditation: Finding Your True Self Through the 8 C’s of Self-Leadership

      In this guided meditation, we build on Episode 21 and explore what it truly means to reconnect with your true sense of self through the 8 C’s of Self-Leadership.

      If you’ve been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, reactive, stuck in perfectionism, or led by emotions you don’t fully understand, this practice will gently guide you inward. You’ll learn how to recognize the “parts” of you that may be leading — such as the fixer, the planner, the judger, the avoider, or the anxious part — and respond to them with calmness, curiosity, clarity, and compassion instead of shame.

      Through simple breathwork and intentional reflection, you’ll practice connecting with yourself, thanking your parts for trying to protect you, and choosing one of the 8 C’s — calm, clarity, compassion, curiosity, courage, confidence, creativity, or connectedness — to lead your day.

      This meditation is a gentle reset for moms who want to stop being driven by emotion and start leading themselves with intention, peace, and grace.

      Take a breath.

      You are not broken.
      You are learning to lead yourself.

    • 21 | Finding Your True Identity: The 8 C’s of Self-Leadership Explained

      Have you ever felt like your emotions are running the show — like the fixer, the critic, the avoider, or the people-pleaser is leading your life instead of your true self?

      In this episode, we’re exploring what it really means to find your identity beneath the roles you carry as a mom. We’ll talk about how different “parts” of us can take over when we’re overwhelmed, stressed, or triggered — and how reconnecting with the 8 C’s of Self-Leadership helps us return to a calm, confident, compassionate core.

      This conversation will help you:

      • Recognize which emotions or parts may be leading you
      • Understand the difference between reactive parts and your true self
      • Begin reconnecting with your identity beyond the role of “mom”
      • Build a stronger, more grounded sense of self

      If you’ve felt lost, stretched thin, or unsure of who you are anymore — this episode will help you gently come back home to yourself.

      If you’re feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or just in need of a quiet moment to breathe, this guided Christian meditation is for you.

       

      In this special affirmation and meditation episode of Building Yourself with Grace, I gently guide you through a calming reset designed specifically for busy moms. Inspired by Episode 20 on self-love and self-care, this episode brings together simple, faith-centered tools you can return to anytime you need peace.

       

      You’ll be led through:

      • A grounding 4-4-4-4 breathing exercise
      • A color and shape visualization to release heavy emotions
      • A Christ-centered meditation, inviting the Savior’s light, comfort, and love into your healing
      • Gentle affirmations reminding you that you are loved, enough, and worthy of care
      •  

        This episode is perfect for:

        • End-of-day wind-down
        • Nap time or quiet moments
        • When emotions feel heavy or your nervous system needs a reset
        • Moms who want self-care that aligns with their faith
        •  

          You don’t need extra time, perfection, or silence to do this “right.” Just come as you are, take a breath, and let yourself be held in grace.

           

          💛 You are loved. You are important. And you are allowed to care for yourself.

        • 20 | 6 Simple Ways to Practice Self-Love and Self-Care as a Busy Mom

          Self-love and self-care can easily become buzzwords — especially for busy moms who already feel stretched thin. In this episode, we slow things down and talk about what self-love and care actually look like in real, everyday motherhood.

          Just like we recharge our phones, our bodies and minds need moments of recharge too. But when you’re balancing kids, home, relationships, church callings, and responsibilities, it can feel impossible to take care of yourself without guilt. This episode is a reminder that self-care doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Even 90 seconds matters. You’re allowed to pause, reset, and love yourself right where you are.

        • 19.A | Affirmations: Building Confidence and Self-Worth in Yourself and Your Children as a Christian Mom

          In this special affirmation episode of Building Yourself with Grace, we’re focusing on building confidence and self-worth—not only in ourselves as moms, but also in our children.

          These affirmations are inspired by Episode 19, my conversation with Nellie Harden, where we talked about what true worth really is, how confidence is formed, and how we as mothers play a powerful role in shaping our children’s emotional and spiritual foundation.

          If you’ve ever questioned your own worth, worried about how you’re showing up for your kids, or wondered how to help them feel seen, loved, and confident in who they are, this episode is for you.

          These affirmations are designed to help you:

          • strengthen your own sense of worth as a daughter of God

          • build confidence rooted in Christ, not performance

          • model healthy self-worth for your children

          • and create an environment where both you and your kids can grow with grace

            You can listen quietly, repeat these affirmations out loud, or let them become a starting point for the words you speak over yourself and your family each day.

            Because when we build confidence and worth in ourselves—with Christ at the center—we are better equipped to help our children do the same. 🌿

          • 19 | Building Confidence and Self-Worth in Yourself and Your Children as a Christian Mom with Nellie Harden

            Have you ever wondered how to build real confidence, not just in yourself, but in your children too?

            In this episode of Building Yourself with Grace, I sit down with Nellie Harden to talk about self-worth, confidence, and how we can intentionally help our children develop emotional strength and security.

            We explore how confidence is formed early, how our own beliefs about ourselves shape our parenting, and how involving Christ in the process of building worth changes everything. Nellie also introduces the Five Pillars of Worth and how they play a powerful role in helping children feel emotionally supported, capable, and confident.

            This conversation is for any mama who wants to raise confident children, while also learning how to extend that same grace and confidence to herself.

            • 18.A | Affirmations: Letting Go of Perfection and Trusting Christ as a Christian Mom

              This special affirmation episode is inspired by today’s main episode and is meant to be a gentle pause as you step into a new year.

              These affirmations are here to help you release the pressure of doing everything on your own and remind you of a simple truth: Christ belongs in your equation. You don’t have to strive for perfection, earn your worth, or carry your burdens alone.

              Whether you’re feeling hopeful, overwhelmed, or somewhere in between, these short, Christ-centered affirmations are designed to help you reset your heart, refocus your mind, and begin the year rooted in grace instead of performance.

              You can listen while resting, driving, or taking a quiet moment to yourself. Repeat them out loud, in your heart, or simply let the truth wash over you — exactly where you are.

            • 18 | How Christian Moms Can Overcome Perfectionism with the Right Equation

              As a new year approaches, it can stir up so many emotions — hope, excitement, fear, pressure, and even discouragement. In this episode, I share a powerful reminder I’ve been returning to again and again: you were never meant to do life on your own.

              We talk about the quiet lie so many of us fall into — the belief that if we just do more, try harder, or become better, then we’ll finally feel worthy, peaceful, or enough. I share a lesson that deeply changed my perspective on perfectionism and how easily we remove Christ from our “equations” for happiness, success, and peace.

              Together, we’ll explore what happens when we stop striving alone and instead choose a new equation for the year ahead — one that includes Christ fully and honestly.

              This episode is for the mama who feels tired of chasing perfection, weary from doing it all, and ready to step into the new year with grace, faith, and a Savior who wants to walk beside her every step of the way.
