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


Listen Later

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.
