Feeling overwhelmed by mom guilt and wondering if you'll ever measure up? 😵‍💫 You're juggling work, kids, and trying to keep it all together—but that voice in your head keeps telling you you're failing. Mama, what if I told you that freedom from guilt isn't about doing more, but about surrendering control and inviting God into the mess?

In this episode of Mom2Mom Mentoring, I sit down with Dr. Laura Lee—a mom, prenatal and pediatric chiropractor with 23+ years of experience, and author of Postpartum Reimagined—for one of the most honest conversations about the guilt, anxiety, and overwhelm that so many of us carry in silence.

Dr. Laura gets real about her own journey: 📋 the checklist mentality that left her emotionally empty, the constant comparison that stole her contentment, and the wrestle between wanting to be a stay-at-home mom while God kept calling her back to her practice. If you've ever felt torn between work and home, guilty about not being present enough, or anxious that you're missing something important—this is YOUR conversation.

Here's what we dive into:

✨ The hidden connection between mom guilt and our need for control (and why letting go changes everything)

🙏 How to identify the negative "guilt tapes" playing on repeat in your mind—and what to do about them

💡 Why confession is the first step to freedom (it's simpler than you think!)

⏰ How to start your healing journey with just 2 minutes a day, even in the carpool line

📖 The mentorship practice that transformed Dr. Laura's relationship with God and motherhood

❤️ Why checking all the boxes doesn't equal being a good mom—and what does

🕊️ Practical ways to manage anxiety, find peace, and stop comparing yourself to other moms

If you're a working mom struggling with time management, feeling guilty about your career, or carrying the mental load of trying to be everything to everyone—this episode will meet you with so much grace. Dr. Laura shares the biblical wisdom and practical tools that helped her move from constant overwhelm to authentic peace.

You don't need another checklist. You need permission to breathe, to start small, and to believe that you really are enough for your kids.

In this New Year's Day episode of Mom2Mom Mentoring, Misty offers a refreshing and hope-filled invitation for Christian moms who are tired of starting the year already exhausted. Instead of pushing harder, this episode explores how beginning with rest—God's way—can set the foundation for your most aligned and life-giving year yet. 🙏

Drawing from Scripture, including Genesis and Isaiah 54, Misty shares why God designed rest as the starting point, not the reward—and how intentional rhythms help us hear God's voice before making plans. You'll be encouraged to release pressure, redefine rest for your current season, and begin the year from a place of trust rather than striving. 💛

This episode is especially for the mom who:

A Christmas Day fireside conversation for the mom who carried it all—and wonders if the miracle was supposed to look bigger. This gentle episode offers rest, hope, and the reminder that God often comes quietly. 🎄🔥

Christmas has a way of building expectations—and then leaving us quietly wondering, “Is this it?”

In this special Christmas Day episode of the Mom2Mom Mentoring Podcast, Misty invites you into a gentle fireside conversation created especially for the mom who carried the weight of the season—emotionally, mentally, spiritually—and now finds herself tired, reflective, and longing for peace.

This episode is not a lesson or a to-do list. It’s a pause.

Rooted in the Christmas story from Luke 2, Misty reflects on Mary, the long silence before the Savior came, and the miracle that didn’t arrive with fanfare—but with humility, quiet, and hope.

Together, we wonder about the moments after the shepherds left, when the noise faded and the miracle looked smaller than expected.

If you’re a busy mom, a Christian woman feeling overwhelmed, or someone longing to reconnect with God in a quieter way this Christmas, this episode is for you. It’s an invitation to rest, to notice the small miracles of the day, and to remember that God often comes when there is nothing left—and we are simply still enough to receive Him.

Listen early in the morning, late at night, or anytime the house grows quiet. Let this be your Christmas gift—a reminder that you are seen, you are loved, and you don’t have to carry it all alone.

Struggling with mom guilt and worried you're failing your kids? Discover how to parent from faith instead of fear and trust that God's grace is enough.

Are you exhausted from trying to be the perfect mom?

You're not alone, mama.

In this powerful conversation, Misty Hughes sits down with Samantha Compton—financial advisor, mom of three young adults, and a woman who knows what it's like to parent through divorce, financial desperation, and crushing mom guilt.

Samantha shares the pivotal moment when God asked her, "Do I need to die twice?" and how that question changed everything.

You'll discover:

🙋🏽‍♀️ If you're a high-achieving Christian mom who's been so busy serving everyone else's needs that you've lost touch with your own heart—this episode is for you.

⌛ It's time to stop carrying guilt that Jesus already died for.

Whether you're navigating toddler tantrums, teenage rebellion, or launching young adults, this conversation will give you permission to be imperfect, wisdom to parent with faith, and hope that God's not finished with you or your kids yet.

𝖩𝗈𝗂𝗇 ➥ the Mom2Mom Mentoring community on Facebook to continue the conversation and share your own story. You don't have to do this alone.

You keep promising yourself, “This year will be different,” but before long, you’re back in the same cycle of hurry, guilt, and exhaustion. What if this time, you began your year in rhythm with God, not the rush of the world?

Discover practical, faith-filled tools for building healthy family relationships during the holidays. In this episode of Mom2Mom Mentoring, Misty Hughes and author/speaker Lori Wildenberg explore how to navigate in-laws, expectations, adult children, and legacy-building with wisdom, grace, and biblical perspective.

How to Build Healthy Family Relationships During the Holidays is the conversation your heart has been craving as you prepare for family gatherings, layered expectations, and the delicate dynamics that come with adult children, in-laws, and growing extended families. In this deeply encouraging episode, I sit down with my longtime friend, licensed parent and family educator Lori Wildenberg, to unpack what it looks like to pursue peace, communicate with kindness, and build a lasting legacy of faith — even when holiday plans feel complicated.

Lori brings decades of wisdom from working with parents and families and shares practical insights that reach right into the real, lived experiences of today’s moms. Together, we talk about navigating shifting roles with adult children, how to respect newly formed households, and why in-law relationships need friendship far more than unsolicited advice. Lori’s calm presence and grace-filled outlook help us see that honoring one another is not just a suggestion — it’s a biblical anchor that can transform interactions that might otherwise feel tense.

This episode leans into the heart-level questions many women carry but often feel hesitant to say out loud:

Lori reminds us that flexibility is a gift we give ourselves as much as we give others. We discuss practical communication tools, ways to express needs without pressure, and how to bless our adult kids by releasing them from holiday guilt.

We also talk about the importance of legacy — not the big sweeping moments, but the quiet, ordinary seeds of faith we sow through presence, prayer, empathy, and consistency. Lori shares touching stories about her own parents and grandparents and how those experiences shaped her newest book, Grand Parents Make Grand Partners: How to Have an Eternal Impact on Your Grandchild’s Life. Her words invite every listener to think differently about the influence God has given them in their family line.

If you’ve ever found yourself anxious about holiday logistics, frustrated by unmet expectations, or wishing your family relationships felt easier, this conversation will give you both relief and direction. It’s warm, wise, relatable, and deeply rooted in Scripture — exactly the kind of conversation you want whispering in your earbuds as you head into a busy holiday season.

Friend, you don’t have to navigate family relationships alone. Let this episode equip you to show up with grace, communicate with clarity, and bring the light of Christ into every space your feet enter this season.

Have you ever sat at Thanksgiving wishing it felt more like home and less like a performance?  In this episode, I share my own Thanksgiving journey — from childhood chaos in Grandma’s bustling kitchen, to quiet, lonely single‑mom holidays, to rebuilding traditions rooted in love and laughter.

We lean into Psalm 107 to explore how God meets us when we feel lost, when we cry out, and when we’re finally being filled again.

Whether this Thanksgiving feels heavy or hopeful, we’ll reflect together with gentle questions to help you name where you are and what your heart truly longs for.

Family mealtimes don’t have to feel stressful, rushed, or guilt-filled. In this episode, we explore simple rhythms that bring peace back to dinner, build deeper family connection, and create a home where everyone can breathe again. Discover practical meal planning ideas, biblical encouragement, and gentle wisdom for Christian moms who want meaningful connection around the table—without overwhelm.

Today we’re talking about “Simple Rhythms For Family Mealtimes That Build Connection,” and friend…this one is straight from my heart 💝.

I know what it feels like to want to create meaningful moments at home but feel caught in survival mode. I’ve lived the busy-mom dinner hustle, the eating-in-shifts season, and the “cereal counts as a meal tonight (ok, I know everyone loves those nights, especially when all you have is the sugary sweet stuff)…right?” days.

But here’s the good news: connection doesn’t come from gourmet meals—it comes from presence. And when we bring just a little order and peace into our meal planning, we make room for God to meet us at the table.

In this episode we’ll talk about:

Why the table matters more than ever in this hurried, distracted world

Biblical encouragement from Isaiah 58 and Matthew 11 about the unforced rhythms of grace

How hospitality starts right inside our own homes

Simple, doable meal planning rhythms that save time, bring peace, and create consistency

Gentle, shame-free ways to make everyday dinners feel special (yes, even hotdogs + mac and cheese!)

How mealtimes become a place of healing, laughter, deeper conversations, and spiritual formation

You’ll also hear a few personal stories—candles on the table, picnic dinners on the floor, breakfast at night—and how God used those ordinary moments to shape the heart of our family.

If you’ve been longing for more connection at home but you feel overwhelmed or stretched thin…this episode will breathe hope right into your kitchen.

And don’t forget to download my free Meal Planning Bundle—it’s the easiest, most grace-filled way to simplify your meals so you can be fully present around the table.

Are you tired of feeling like your family’s rhythm changes faster than you can catch your breath?Physical therapist and military spouse Amanda Rabin shares how she went from sobbing in traffic, unable to reach daycare, to building a flexible career and family rhythms that actually work. This honest conversation tackles mom guilt, work-life balance, solo parenting, and creating breathing room in the chaos—perfect for overwhelmed Christian moms seeking practical wisdom and grace.

Amanda's a mom of three littles navigating life while her husband deploys for long stretches. She's also the queen of creating rhythms that work—not perfect, Pinterest-worthy rhythms, but real-life, messy, sustainable ones that give her family space to actually breathe.

We're diving deep into the stuff Christian moms don't always talk about out loud: the mom guilt that creeps in when you just want 20 minutes alone, the overwhelming feeling of trying to honor your calling while being present for your kids, and what it looks like to ask for help when you're drowning (spoiler: it's harder for you to ask than it is for people to say yes).

Amanda shares the game-changing advice her dad gave her about her empathetic daughter who wouldn't stay in bed—it completely shifted her perspective on motherhood struggles and gave her so much grace. Plus, you'll hear how she manages work-life balance with multiple side hustles, why routines became her secret weapon against mom burnout, and the meal planning system that keeps her family fed without the 5:30 dinner panic.

ᯓ➤ This is for every overwhelmed mom standing at a crossroads, wondering if there's a better way.

ᯓ➤ For the kingdom-minded mom who wants to live with passion and purpose but feels torn in a million directions.

ᯓ➤ For the mom in transition trying to figure out what comes next.

Amanda's story is proof that with a little creativity, a lot of God's guidance, and some honest conversations, you can build a life that works for your family—not against it.
