Do you ever feel like you’re never doing enough, growing enough, or becoming enough? Instead of focusing on where you still fall short, what if you flipped the script and looked at how much God has already done in you? We’re often our own worst critics, but maybe the answer isn’t trying harder, it’s abiding with Christ and letting Him do the refining. Let's talk about it.

What if your people pleasing isn’t selflessness - it’s keeping you from obeying God? Let’s talk about the difference between loving people well and living for their approval.

Let's talk about phone addiction - more specifically, what happened when I deleted social media for a month.

I also want to share what my boundaries have looked like since returning to social media. I hope you feel encouraged to take the leap and unplug for a bit if you've been experiencing any of the symptoms I share in today's episode.

Welcome to the Christian Motherhood Unfiltered Podcast! I'm Emma and I'm so happy you found my corner of the internet.

Here, we talk about motherhood, faith, productivity, homeschooling, and pretty much whatever we'd chat about if we were sitting down together over a cup of coffee. My heart is to encourage you with the truths God is teaching me, share the highs and lows of motherhood honestly, and remind you that following Jesus doesn't mean we can't have fun along the way. Life is too short not to laugh, find joy, and enjoy the season God has us in.

It's time for a summer catch-up! ☀️ In today's episode, I'm sharing what's new, what I'm loving, what I'm learning, what's been on my mind, and what I'm looking forward to in this season of life. Grab your coffee and come chat with me.

It's also the podcast's first anniversary! Thanks so much for sticking with me this year. Be sure to let me know if you've been listening since episode one or if you found me somewhere along the way.

I'll be taking a few weeks off the podcast and social media altogether to unplug, be present, and have a true 90's summer. I hope you'll join me!
