    Send us Fan Mail

    Are you living for the milestone moments because the everyday ones feel like they don't count?

    Does your life look nothing like the adventure you imagined — and do you wonder where God is in all the repetition?

    What if the mundane moments you're dreading are actually the ones where everything is happening?

    If motherhood feels more like Groundhog Day than the adventure you signed up for, this episode is for you. We're talking about what it really looks like when God shows up in the ordinary — not just the highlight reel moments — and why the gap between the life you imagined and the Tuesday you're actually living might be exactly where your growth is hiding. Plus, a simple one-moment challenge you can start today that will change how you move through your most dreaded part of the day.

  • 9- The Hidden Mindset Keeping You Reactive With Your Kids and Husband

    Send us Fan Mail


    Are these questions hitting a little too close to home?

    • Do you feel like you're constantly reacting instead of responding — with your husband, your kids, or both?
    • Have you ever caught yourself waiting for your partner to change, while secretly wondering why nothing ever gets better?
    • Are you putting expectations on your kids that might actually be way beyond where they are developmentally?

    If you nodded at any of those, this episode is for you.


    What This Episode Is About

    If you've ever felt like you're the only one trying in your marriage, or like your kids are just out to get you, this episode is going to hit home. We're digging into the hidden mindset that keeps moms stuck in reactive mode — with their husbands and their kids. Because you cannot fix what you cannot see. I'm sharing the real story of how it took me eleven years to figure out something about my husband Andrew that we had been playing on repeat and it was driving me crazy — and why your kids' behavior might have a lot less to do with attitude and a lot more to do with a brain that's still forming. This is your mindset reset for the relationships that matter most.

    Send us Fan Mail

    Ever feel like every other mom has her faith figured out — and you’re still trying to find five quiet minutes with God?

    As a busy mom, does growing closer to God feel like one more thing on a to-do list you’ll never get to?

    What if you’re not behind on your faith — you just need a different way to live it out?

    If you’re a busy mom who loves God and yet still feels behind on your faith, this episode is for you. We’re talking about why growing closer to God doesn’t require a perfect prayer routine, a quiet house, or even the right words — and what it actually looks like to build a real, everyday relationship with Him in the middle of mom life. Whether you’re just starting to figure out faith as a mom or you’ve been walking with God for years and still feel like you’re falling short, you’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on prayer and a simple way to stay connected to God that actually fits your real life.

  • 7- When Your Marriage Feels Like a Business Partnership, Not a Relationship

    Send us Fan Mail

    Does it feel like you and your husband are just two bodies occupying the same house?

    Are you always go, go, go and somewhere in the middle of all of it, you lost each other?

    Do your conversations revolve around schedules, kids, and to-do lists and you honestly can't remember the last time you just... talked?

    If you're nodding your head right now, this episode is for you.

    Somewhere between the school pickups and the never-ending to-do lists, a lot of marriages quietly shift from partnership to autopilot. In this episode of Faithful Mama Rising, we're getting into why routines work against your relationship, how small intentional doses of connection and flirting can shift the dynamic faster than you'd think, and why going first is the move that changes everything. If you've been craving more connection with your husband but don't know where to start, this episode will meet you right where you are.

  • 6- Motherhood Swallowed My Identity — Here's How I Found Myself Again

    Send us Fan Mail

    Tired of feeling like motherhood has swallowed your identity?

    Do you wonder if you’ll ever feel like yourself again outside of diapers, laundry, and sippy cups?

    Ever catch yourself asking, “Am I just here to teach my kids how to survive, or is there more for me?”

    In this episode, I get real about the struggle of losing yourself in motherhood and how to reclaim your sense of identity while fully loving your role as a mom. I share my personal journey—from feeling trapped in routines and exhaustion, to discovering practical ways to reconnect with myself, take small actions that bring momentum, and find joy in the everyday “string cheese moments.”

    You’ll hear how serving others outside your home, embracing your worth, and remembering that being a mom doesn’t limit your dreams can transform your perspective and energize your life. This episode is for any mom who wants to feel empowered, regain her sense of self, and show her children that motherhood and pursuing dreams can coexist beautifully.

  • 5- Mom Burnout Isn’t a Time Management Problem—Here’s What Actually Helps

    Send us Fan Mail

    Feeling overwhelmed… but telling yourself you “should” be grateful?

    Giving everything you’ve got—and still feeling like it’s never enough?

    Snapping at the people you love and wondering, “Why am I like this?”

    In this episode, we’re talking about the mental load no one sees and why overwhelm sneaks up on moms even when we love our lives and our families. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, unseen, or like you’re carrying more than your fair share, you’re not alone—and you’re not failing.

    I share a real moment from my own life that stopped me in my tracks and made me realize how much pressure I was putting on myself (it’s one of those “I can’t believe I’m admitting this” stories 😅). We talk about how perfectionism, unrealistic expectations, and trying to do it all quietly fuel burnout—and how small shifts in how you carry the load can start to make life feel lighter again.

  • 4- When You’re Tired, Mom, Are You Sabotaging Communication in Your Marriage? (Part 2)

    Send us Fan Mail

    Ever feel like you and your husband are missing each other emotionally since becoming parents?

    Catch yourself snapping, stewing, or silently keeping score, and then wondering why you still feel unsupported?

    Do you ever think, “I love this man… so why does talking to him feel so hard right now?”

    In this part two episode (check out Episode 3) Mitch pulls up a chair and gets honest about what really happens to communication in marriage when you’re tired, carrying the mental load, and just trying to survive motherhood. We’re talking resentment that sneaks in quietly, unspoken expectations, and those moments where you feel totally justified… but still end the day feeling disconnected.

    If you’ve ever thought, “Why am I the only one who notices what needs to be done?” or “I don’t want to nag, but I also can’t keep holding this in,” this episode is for you. You’ll walk away feeling seen, less alone, and hopeful that you and your husband can get back on the same team, even in this tired season.

    James: “Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.”

    Wish you could feel supported, understood, and connected again — instead of frustrated and alone?

    In this episode of Faithful Mama Rising, Mitch dives into why communication often breaks down between moms and their husbands once children enter the picture.
