Ask Me: Wife, Mom, Designer = God is a podcast for women who want to get dressed—and live—from a place of wholeness, self-love, and stewardship of their God-given gifts.
Hosted by Braisha Owens Mount—luxury denim designer, stylist, wife, and mama—this podcast is rooted in one truth: getting dressed is about identity.
We talk faith, marriage, motherhood, creativity, and showing up fully—without guilt or performance.
No fluff. Just grace, grit, garments, and God.
Because how you get dressed matters—and calling and chaos can coexist.
Episode 4: Marriage in the Messy Middle
The “messy middle” of marriage is the part no one glamorizes.
It’s not the honeymoon phase.
It’s not the “we’ve made it” season.
It’s the in-between—where love and exhaustion exist at the same time… where intimacy shifts, responsibilities grow, and partnership is tested in real life.
In this episode, I’m opening up about what the messy middle looks like in my own marriage:
- Raising a toddler who still sleeps with us
- Navigating two careers
- Adjusting to life beyond just “us”
- Learning how to be parents while still choosing to be partners
This season is stretching—but it’s also sacred. And the only way I’m holding it all together is God.
We talk about:
- What unconditional love really looks like in real life
- How to communicate when both partners are tired
- Giving each other grace while learning parenthood together
- Redefining intimacy and romance after kids
- Choosing each other daily—even in small, consistent ways
Because marriage isn’t about perfection—it’s about intentionality.
Closing
If you’re in the messy middle, you’re not failing—you’re forming.
Stay willing.
Stay gracious.
Keep choosing love.
Share this with a mom who needs it—and ask yourself:
What would it look like to give more grace in your marriage right now?
Until next time—
Get dressed with intention. Move with confidence.
Don’t ask me how I’m doing it—ask God.
