Episode 30: The Invisible Work of Motherhood: Journaling to Acknowledge What You Do


Listen Later

I want to talk to the woman who feels… unseen.

You’ve been folding laundry no one thanks you for. Making appointments no one remembers. Noticing when the lightbulb goes out. Remembering the birthday party gift. Holding the emotions, the pieces, the peace.

That’s the invisible work of motherhood. And it’s real. It’s constant. And it’s often exhausting.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing so much that no one really notices — this episode is for you.

Today, we’ll:

  • Talk about why invisible work matters — even if it’s not acknowledged
  • Explore tools from the Life Mentoring School to reclaim your worth
  • Walk through a two-part journaling exercise to validate and celebrate what you carry
  • And anchor it all in the truth that God sees what others overlook

So take a deep breath. Grab your journal. And let’s write our way back to what’s true.

✍🏼 Journaling Prompts:

  1. What invisible work do I do regularly that deserves to be named and honored?
  2. Where have I seen the fruit of my unseen labor in my family or home?
  3. What does God want me to know about the way I serve — even when no one else sees?
