  • From Anxious to Thriving: How Faith Transforms Motherhood

    Motherhood can feel overwhelming, especially when anxiety takes hold. But what if I told you there’s a way to move from anxious to thriving—through faith?

    In the first episode of the new season of For Moms Like Me, I’m sharing my personal story of navigating anxiety as a mom and how God transformed my journey.


    Together, we’ll explore:
    - Scriptures that calm an anxious heart

    - Practical tips to lean on your faith in tough moments
    - Why thriving doesn’t mean being perfect—it’s about trusting God in every season


    Scriptures to remember:

    • Philippians 4:6-7: "Do not be anxious about anything..."
      • Isaiah 41:10: "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God..."
      • Matthew 6:34: "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself."
      • Psalm 55:22: "Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you."

        • Mama, it’s okay if...
          Sometimes as mothers, it’s hard for us to tell ourselves that “it’s okay” or to accept that everything doesn’t have to be exactly as planned. Things can happen, life happens and we’re not always gonna have a good day. In this episode, I’m just giving a little bit of encouragement to moms that feel like they can’t tell themselves that “it’s okay” ....but really it is

        • Breastfeeding Struggles
          Breastfeeding is beautiful and it’s also hard! I just wanted to bring you some truths about my experience with breast-feeding and share how long I have been on this journey. It’s really not the easiest thing in the world... I touch on a little bit of education and knowledge that I think moms should have prior to even giving birth. There are things that you may face on your journey and it’s so important to prepare for those types of situations. No one wants to feel like they were just thrown out in the ocean with no idea of how to actually navigate breast-feeding.

        • Moms Raising Babies & Businesses
          It’s possible to do both mama! Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t. Of course it’s gonna be hard... beck motherhood in itself is hard. Yes you will be be taking on more responsibilities. But think about your future and the life you will be able to create for yourself...for your children... and possibly those around you. Isn’t that worth it for you?

        • The Truth About Becoming a Mother
          The truth is sometimes before becoming a mother you don’t see the realities... a lot of times we see something like that of a fairy tale. They don’t depict the truth on tv shows very well. We always see everything but what we need to prepare for motherhood... I’m just getting real honest about it in this episode. This may be a trigger for some.. sorry in advance.

        • Faith in God Pulled Me Out of The Trenches
          I did many things that helped me to overcome postpartum anxiety and depression... but my most powerful routine was prayer, devotion and having strong faith in God! I knew I would get better. He is really who helped me to come out of the trenches when I felt like I wasn’t gonna make it. God pulled me up on my feet and that’s what led me here to wanting to help more women get through this. I had a vision that this was my calling. In the moments when I was in the most pain and in the depths of darkness... my faith in God was a light at the end of the tunnel.

        • Is it Time to Start Educating & Preparing Mothers for Postpartum?
          This episode is very short and simple. It comes from a question that I thought should be brought to light. This discussion is specifically surrounding the issues that are currently taking place in our societies, as well as the alarming statistics... why they may be increasing and how we can better prepare/educate our mothers long before they actually give birth.

        • Mental Health is Health
          Mental health matters. It is a part of your overall health. Health is not just about what you’re eating, if you’re exercising or if you even lost weight - it’s more than that. It is about every aspect of your life coming together, full circle. In this episode, I will be talking specifically about mental health in this episode. In my opinion, people are disconnecting mental health with your overall health and not realizing that it is a part of your Health. In my some senses it can even be looked at as one of the most important parts because a lot of things begin in our mind. What we tell ourselves, the words we speak, who/what we’re interacting with, who we keep in our circle.... all of these things affect your mental health. Whether it be good or bad. Mental health matters - don’t let anyone tell you different.
