Hey mama, this week’s episode of Mama Walks With Jesus is a raw and real one. I’m opening up about something we all struggle with — patience. I’ll be the first to admit that I was not the picture of patience these past two weeks. Between homeschooling, endless questions, and the chaos of family life, I hit my limit. But God used those messy moments to remind me of something powerful: patience isn’t just a virtue — it’s a fruit of the Spirit.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:

If you’ve ever lost your cool and felt like the worst mom in the world (been there, too), this episode is for you. We’ll dig into scripture, real-life mom moments, and the hope we find in knowing Jesus went before us and gets it.

Key Bible Verses:

Remember, mama — patience isn’t about perfection. It’s about surrendering our will and letting the Holy Spirit work through us, one deep breath at a time.

🎧 Tune in now to feel seen, encouraged, and reminded that you’re not alone.

Hey Mama,

If you’ve ever felt that heavy weight of mom guilt — wondering if you’re doing enough, doing it right, or doing it “like everyone else” — this episode is for you. I open up about my own early motherhood struggles, from breastfeeding challenges to the constant comparison trap, and how I learned to find freedom through God’s grace.

In this heartfelt conversation, I  share how to tell the difference between true conviction from God and the guilt that comes from the world’s expectations. You’ll walk away encouraged to release comparison, lean into Christ, and remember that you are already enough through Him.

💫 In This Episode, We’ll Talk About:

The real reason so many moms struggle with guilt

How to tell if guilt is from the world or from God

Bible verses that remind you of God’s grace in motherhood

Letting go of comparison and trusting God’s plan for your family

Finding peace and purpose in the motherhood season you’re in

📖 Key Scriptures:

2 Corinthians 12:9 – “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”

Galatians 1:10 – “For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God?”

✨ Listen in and be reminded:

Hey Mama,

Do you ever feel like worry has become your full-time job? From “what if they get sick” to “what if something happens at school,” motherhood has a way of stirring up fears we never expected. In this episode of Mama Walks With Jesus, I’m opening up about my own struggles with worry and anxiety as a mom — and how God has been gently reminding me to lean on Him instead of letting fear take over.

Together we’ll look at two powerful scriptures:

Isaiah 41:10 – “Fear not, for I am with you…”

2 Timothy 1:7 – “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.”

I’ll share:

Memorizing and speaking God’s Word

Moving my body to process emotions

Praying through the “what-ifs” instead of holding onto them

If you’ve ever felt consumed by mom anxiety or struggled with constant “what if” thoughts, this episode will remind you that you’re not alone. More importantly, it will point you back to the One who holds you, your children, and your future in His hands.

Listen in and be encouraged: God has not called us to live in fear — He’s called us to walk in faith, peace, and trust.

💌 If today’s episode encouraged you, share it with a mama friend who needs the reminder that she’s not alone in her worries.

Do you ever feel like the days are long, but the years are short? As moms, it’s so easy to get caught up in the busyness of laundry, dishes, schedules, and endless to-do lists—and before we know it, our kids have grown right before our eyes. In this episode of Mama Walks With Jesus, I share my  heart about learning how to slow down, be intentional, and truly connect with our children in the everyday moments.

Drawing from Psalm 90:12, 14, and 17, a few  practical ways to:

Pause in the middle of the chaos and invite God into your day

Choose connection over constant productivity

Practice gratitude even in the messy moments

Teach your kids about Jesus through presence, not perfection

If you’ve ever wondered how to be more present in motherhood without losing yourself in the busyness, this episode will remind you that your time and your presence matter more than a spotless home or a perfectly checked-off list.

Motherhood can feel overwhelming—between broken appliances, endless laundry, and the daily challenges of raising kids, it’s easy to feel like the weight is too heavy to carry. In this episode of Mama Walks With Jesus, I share honestly about a hard week, my struggles with mindset, and how God gently reminded me to bring my burdens to Him.

Rooted in Matthew 11:28–30, and how it applies to  weary moms who struggle to stop trying to do it all alone and instead lean into the rest and grace that only Jesus can provide. Whether you’re navigating tantrums, financial stress, or simply feeling worn out, this conversation will remind you that you don’t have to carry the weight of motherhood by yourself.

✨ What you’ll hear in this episode:

The Bible verse that carried me through miscarriage and tough seasons of motherhood

Why we often try to “fix it” ourselves instead of turning to God

Simple ways to invite Jesus into your everyday struggles and shift your mindset

Encouragement for when motherhood feels overwhelming and heavy

💛 If you’ve ever whispered, “This is so hard,” you’re not alone. Let this episode be a reminder that God sees you, loves you, and promises rest for your soul.

Welcome to the very first episode of Mama Walks with Jesus! In this heartfelt conversation, I share my story of faith—how God used motherhood to bring me closer to Him, even through fear, doubt, and loss.

Motherhood often leaves us wondering if we’re the “right” mom for the job. Between the tantrums, endless questions, and those moments at the kitchen sink when we feel like we can’t handle one more thing—it’s easy to believe the lie that someone else would do it better.

But here’s the truth: God chose YOU to be your children’s mother. Just like Mary, who was entrusted to raise Jesus, you have been specifically chosen and equipped for the children in your care.

In this episode, I’ll share:

My journey of walking away from faith and how motherhood drew me back to Jesus

The lightbulb moment at the kitchen sink that showed me God’s love in a new way

How loss and miscarriage deepened my dependence on His Word

Why motherhood, even in the messy and ordinary, is holy ground

A simple prayer you can use when you feel overwhelmed or inadequate

If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing, falling short, or not enough—this episode is for you.
