Episode 27: "I'm So Tired" : Journaling for Overwhelmed Moms


Listen Later

Today’s episode is for the mom who’s tired. Not just “I need a nap” tired, but soul-weary. You’ve been running on empty for so long that exhaustion feels like your baseline.

If you’re listening to this with a deep sigh — maybe even some tears — I want to tell you right now: You are not lazy. You are not weak. You are carrying more than anyone sees, and today we’re going to make space for that.

In this episode, we’re going to:

  • Do a simple journaling exercise to acknowledge your exhaustion without guilt
  • Talk about how journaling lightens the mental load by creating emotional awareness and clarity
  • And we’ll ground it all in God’s truth and grace.

Let’s settle in together — grab your journal, a cup of something warm, and take a deep breath. Let’s walk this out — one honest sentence at a time.

✍🏼 Journaling Prompts:

  1. What thoughts are I believing that are making me more tired than I need to be?
  2. What am I tired of pretending isn’t a big deal?
  3. Where do I need to believe God’s grace covers my limitations?
  4. What would it look like to live and mother from a place of rest, not performance?
