ENCORE: The Mom Comparison Trap

This episode originally aired awhile back, but it's one I come back to again and again, especially during seasons when I notice comparison creeping in and stealing my peace.

So today, I'm bringing it back as an encore.

Whether you're scrolling social media or watching another mom at school drop-off, comparison is one of the easiest traps to fall into, and one of the hardest to climb out of. It can leave you feeling like you're behind, not doing enough, or like everyone else has something figured out that you don't.

But that's not the truth.

In this episode, I'm sharing practical and powerful way to shift out of that cycle of "compare and despair" and come back to your own lane, with confidence.

You'll learn:

💌 As a gift this season, I’m also sharing my Comparison Trap Workbook. A free,  resource to help you go deeper.

It includes:

Journal prompts

Bridge thoughts

Reflection space

and more!

How To Discern Your Spiritual Gifts With Jill Simons

In this episode, I'm joined by Jill Simons, founder of Many Part Ministries for a conversation that will change the way you think about spiritual gifts, specifically your spiritual gifts.

Jill walks us through how charisms (another word for spiritual gifts) help you live in alignment with how God made you, avoid burnout, and start noticing where His grace is already flowing into your life. We talk about how these gifts show up in motherhood, how to identify them, and why it's so freeing to know what to say yes to, and what's okay to let go.

You'll hear:

Whether you've never heard of charisms before or you're ready to dig deeper, Jill makes it easy to get started.

Mastering The Art of Saying No Without Guilt

Sometimes saying "no" feels anything but peaceful.

Even when we know it's the right decision, the guilt creeps in. We worry about letting people down, missing out, or not being seen as a "good mom." And before we know it, we've said yes to too many things that pull us away from what actually matters.

In this episode, I'm talking about how to master the art of saying no with peace, purpose, and love.

You'll hear:

You're not selfish for needing space. You're not unkind for honoring your limits. But if that still feels hard, this episode will help.

3 Powerful Verses to Eliminate Exhaustion

This episode is for the moms who are just plain tired, body, mind, and soul. The kind of tired that sleep doesn’t touch. You’re doing your best, showing up for everyone, but quietly wondering… does it have to feel this heavy all the time?

In today’s episode, I’m sharing three scripture verses that have been a lifeline for me, and for so many of the women I coach. These words from God are more than encouragement; they’re reminders that you’re not alone, and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself.

Here's what you'll hear:

If you're in a season where exhaustion feels like the norm, I want you to know you're not alone. You're not doing it wrong. And you're not meant to carry it all without help.

These verses aren't just nice words, they're real anchors you can hold onto when you're running on empty.

The Keep Going Fallacy

Have you ever told yourself, "I just need to keep going..."?

In the middle of full schedules and long to-do lists, especially around the holidays, it's easy to believe that we have no choice but to keep going.

But what if that "just keeping going" mindset is actually costing you peace?

In this episode, I'm sharing what I call the Keep Going Fallacy: the idea that quitting or pivoting means failure, when sometimes it's actually the most faithful, aligned, and peaceful decision you can make.

You'll hear:

And I'll walk you through how to move forward with clarity, whether that means continuing with fresh intention or choosing a new path.

This episode is for the mom who’s spinning her wheels, trying so hard to hold it all together. You’re allowed to pause. To breathe. To ask what’s really serving you—and to change your mind with grace.

How To Be Still And Know God

You've probably seen Pslam 46:10 stitched on a pillow or printed in pretty script, "Be still and know that I am God."

And if you're anything like I used to be, maybe that verse doesn't feel comforting, it feels heavy. Like a command you're constantly failing to follow.

Who has time for stillness? Not when there's dinner to cook, laundry to fold, kids to juggle, and a mind that never stops spinning. 

But what if being still isn't about doing nothing, but about becoming aware? What if it's less about stopping and more about remembering?

In this episode, I'll talk about:

If you've ever looked at that verse and thought, "That's not possible for me," this episode is for you. Let's quiet the noise, just for a moment, and remember who is really in control.
