Today, Natalie has the privilege of hosting Martha Metzler.

Martha Metzler, is a licensed psychotherapist, brings over a decade of experience to her private practice in North Carolina. She is a counselor, speaker, member of the Michael Phelps Foundation Advisory Council, and a dedicated advocate for mental health in her community. She loves weaving truth and humor into her ministry of counseling and speaking engagements. Martha lives in North Carolina with her husband and three delightful (sometimes feral) boys.

Natalie and Martha chat about boundaries and how boundaries in life are meant to protect good things! How life comes with friction, its inevitable. Martha describes these moments as “sandpaper moments”. The moments that feel like sandpaper against our spirit. The heart behind this analogy, and her book, is an invitation to shift our mindset away from fear and panic and towards purpose and hope.

They chat about her book which is full of tools and both personal and professional stories. We chat about seeing these hard moments as opportunities for God to smooth our rough edges allows people to experience these gritty moments with hope.

This interview will give you hope, inspiration, great tips, and strategies to help you feel encouraged with both grit and grace through life as a wife and mama!

In today's episode, Natalie and her oldest daughter, Enya, sit back down and answer questions submitted by Natalie's clients and audience.

Enya answers these questions...

Did or do you ever get tired of your mom apologizing? 

Does it get annoying that she apologizes when she makes mistakes, or are you grateful that she does? 

Do you think your mom's mistakes and apologies have damaged your faith in the Lord?

Has watching your mom helped you own up and apologize for your own mistakes? 

Do you see her change?

Do you struggle with anger because of being exposed to it as a child?

Can you give examples of how being around your mom is comforting?

Enjoy, and don't hesitate to reach out with more questions for future episodes with Natalie and her girls!

In today's episode we are seeking peace for those moments when you are feeling unsettled and anxious. 

Life is full of moments that can feel unsettling. Moments such as kids transitioning from one stage of life to another, home moves, political climates, job changes, overwhelming to-do lists, and more!

God doesn't leave us in these moments, but sometimes, the negative emotions can make us believe that he is gone or not with us. He hasn't gone anywhere; it's up to us to seek peace by going to His Word and spending time with him in prayer. 

Today we dive into the Word and find the peace that only he can give.

Today, I am sharing how to FROG! What?

 Yes how to Fully Rely On God when you feel stuck and like you can't seem to get answers or grow.

In today's episode, I answer...

What does it mean to fully rely on and turn to the Lord, in a practical way?

Does it mean turning to prayer instead of the web for answers?

When is it right to seek advice from others if you don't feel like you're getting it from the Lord?

What is a healthy balance between reading parenting books, seeking advice from others, and quietly seeking the Lord when trying to become a better parent?

I share the steps I use when I feel like God isn't hearing me, when I don't know when or who to turn to if I am feeling stuck on an emotional spiral, and how to surrender my heart over to the Lord.

I am inviting you to listen in and stay for this journey.

Today, Natalie has the honor and privilege of hosting one of her past clients, Megan Jepson.

Natalie and Meagan chat about life for Meagan before she found Natalie’s Motherhood Restored coaching program.

Meagan used to struggle with anger in motherhood. But as she went through the Motherhood Restored program, where she was held accountable to be in God’s word daily, God transformed her mind and heart. Meagan is now a Bible study writer and teacher. Her goal is to help other women learn to study the Bible effectively to experience a closer relationship with Jesus and gain more peace, joy, and hope in their everyday lives.

This interview will give you hope and inspiration to grow in your motherhood journey! It’s never too late, and you are never too far gone to be healed and restored in the Lord!
