Welcome to episode 95 where we dive into all things morning routines. Morning routines are key for working moms. If you have one, then you know how precious that time is, but maybe you are ready to take it up a notch. If you don't have one but find yourself stressed, unorganized, and wishing for more time in the day...I think it's time you get started.

Our host, Jenny Stemmerman, is going to walk you through how to construct the perfect morning routine for you and help you overcome the obstacles that might get in your way of actually getting out of bed and doing it.

In this episode, we are diving into the topic of stress. I mean, who doesn't have stress in our lives, right? We all know that it is just a part of our every day, but how can we effectively deal with it?

Luckily, we have an expert guest to help us out. Gina Poirier is a happily married mom of three, stress management coach and writer who helps overwhelmed, exhausted moms find peace and purpose in the everyday. Check out free resources for Christian moms at ginampoirier.com, where "Wiping noses for Jesus is legit!"

Gina has put together some great tips for us on this topic. I hope you have a listen as she shares her insight. Here is the outline of our conversation.

1. Create a healthy perspective about stress. Stress is not a bad thing. It was designed by God for our good. Once we can see stress in our lives from a neutral place, we can be better equipped to deal with it in a healthy way.

2. Know you can't always control stress but you can control your stress response. Let's talk about stress resiliency. As you begin to build up this up for yourself, here are the things to think about.

Physical- Taking care of your body with good nutrition, staying hydrated, exercise, and getting the right about of sleep for yourself.

Emotional/Mental- Setting boundaries, minimizing toxic self-thinking, working on better relationships, limit screen time.

Spiritual- See point three.

3. Taking spiritual rest. God created us to do amazing things, but he also called us to slow down and rest. The Bible calls us to this over and over and God has set examples through nature and through his own actions as well. It's about celebration and showing gratitude. So choose your Sabbath. Pray about it and see how God would have you implement this into your life.

When we talk about balance, we define it by setting and moving toward goals in all areas of life. It's about action. But sometimes action isn't enough to clear the chaos and help you feel balanced. When we talk about the three pillars for working moms to find balance, the number one thing is to have more Jesus in your life. Specifically, turning every part of your life over to Jesus. Not holding onto any part of it in your own strength.

It's easier said than done. Listen as we dive deep into this topic and I give you some action steps to help you turn each part of your life over to God.
