In today’s episode, I’m joined by someone whose work feels both timely and deeply needed — Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and eating disorder specialist, Chantia Sturman. She’s the founder of Darling, Arise, a powerful self-paced course designed to help moms raise confident daughters who feel at peace with food and at home in their bodies.

Chantia has spent years walking with women and girls through healing — from IOP and PHP levels of care, to outpatient therapy, to nearly three years serving in schools. She brings wisdom from every stage of the journey, and she delivers it with a calm strength that mothers will feel the moment she speaks.

In this conversation, we talk about:

• What daughters actually need from us in order to develop a healthy relationship with food and identity
• How to speak truth into our girls without making their bodies the focus
• Subtle ways diet culture sneaks into Christian homes — and how to gently guard against it
• How God invites us to root our worth in who He says we are, not how we appear
• Practical tools you can start using in your home today
• And how moms can heal their own relationship with food and body so they can model freedom for their daughters

Chantia’s mission is simple and so aligned with our heart here: to help families build homes where identity, purpose, and God-given worth run deeper than appearance. Through therapy, education, and compassionate guidance, she equips moms with the tools they need to raise girls who walk confidently in who God made them to be.

This episode is gentle, rich, and full of the kind of truth that stays with you. Whether you’re raising daughters or simply wanting to heal parts of your own story, you will feel encouraged, seen, and strengthened.

Grab a cup of something warm, settle in, and join us for this beautiful and important conversation.

As moms, we long for holidays that feel holy—not hurried. In this episode, we dive into how families can slow down and truly embrace the season without letting it slip by in a blur of busyness.

Together, we unpack what it means to make a holiday sacred in your home—through small, intentional rhythms that shift the atmosphere toward worship. We talk about how to center your family on Jesus during the holidays without adding more to your to-do list, and the beautiful fruits that come when our homes become places of peace, presence, and praise.

If you’ve ever looked up after Christmas and wondered where the time went, this episode will remind you that it’s never about doing more—it’s about inviting Him in.

In this episode of The Faith-Full Mama, I sit down with my very own life coach, Emily Tomasetti, for a powerful live coaching session on setting healthy boundaries with your child.

Together, we dig deep into the thoughts behind why we do the things we do in motherhood, and Emily walks me through how to identify those beliefs, shift them, and journal through them in a way that brings clarity and freedom.

This conversation is both practical and eye-opening — you’ll walk away with tools to recognize negative thought patterns, replace them with truth, and begin setting boundaries that nurture both you and your children.

If you’ve ever struggled with mom guilt, negative self-talk, or knowing where to draw the line with your kids, this episode will give you encouragement and steps you can start using today.

The world tells us our validation is in our grades, our success, our gifts, our talents, our looks and so many other things. Yet God tells us it's in One and Only place.

Guide:

In this episode of The Faith-Full Mama, we unpack John Calvin’s sobering truth: “The human heart is an idol factory.” I share my own recent journey of stepping away from distractions—social media, work, even food for a short fast—to truly hear God’s still, small voice. Twice now, He’s shown me how easily my heart can latch onto something other than Him… and how quickly that robs me of peace.

We talk about how to recognize when something has become an idol, why it leaves us feeling heavy and unsettled, and how to return to the only One who can give rest for our souls. You’ll be encouraged to trust Him again, obey Him fully, and discover the joy that follows.

If you’ve been feeling burdened or distant from God, this conversation will help you realign your heart and fix your eyes on the One who never tires you out and never lets you down.

In today’s episode, we’re joined by Andrea Fortenberry—author, speaker, and member of the MomCo (formerly MOPS) ministry team. Andrea opens up about her journey through perfectionism and how it began to affect her motherhood. She shares how counseling helped her find freedom and peace, and now she’s passionate about helping other moms do the same.

Together, we walk through three powerful principles to help you experience more freedom in your own motherhood:

1. Take care of yourself.
2. You may expect yourself to be perfect—but God doesn’t.
3. It’s okay (and holy!) to ask for help.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of unrealistic expectations or struggled to give yourself grace, this conversation is for you. Tune in and be encouraged!

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Charity Gibson, author of The Working Homemaker, to talk all things homemaking—whether you work outside the home or not. We unpack the beauty, value, and purpose of homemaking in a world that often tells us to chase busyness over intention.

Charity shares her heart for creating margin, slowing down, and reclaiming the sacred role of being our children’s first teacher. We dive into how homemaking isn’t just about chores—it’s about spiritual formation, life-giving rhythms, and raising children who feel seen and supported.

You’ll hear us talk about:

• What it means to be a homemaker in today’s culture
• Why working moms are homemakers too
• Creating space and margin in your day
• Following your children’s hobbies while teaching them life skills
• The power of community and like-minded friendships

Whether you’re working full-time, part-time, or staying home, this episode will remind you that the work you’re doing in your home matters deeply.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Mary Marantz—author, speaker, and Yale Law graduate who grew up in a single-wide trailer in West Virginia. Mary’s story is one of grit, grace, and the kind of quiet strength that comes from being underestimated. We dive deep into what it looks like to rise from humble beginnings and how to stop living life trying to prove yourself to others.

Mary shares vulnerable truths about the mindsets that keep women stuck—perfectionism, imposter syndrome, people-pleasing, overthinking—and the practical shifts that lead to freedom. If you’ve ever battled self-doubt or felt like you were meant for more but fear keeps holding you back, this episode will remind you: you’re not behind, you’re being built.

Today's episode with Rosemary Jones is all about living intentionally by focusing on what really matters. Rosemary shares her personal story on how she came to realize the importance of living this way when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor while still homeschooling and raising her then four children. Then in 2020, her friend and now partner in ministry, Cari, made an intentional choice to focus on hope and Jesus during the Covid Crisis by connecting and encouraging one another. Since then, she has seen the benefits of choosing hope and a focus on Jesus in both the good and challenging moments of life.

She gives us practical tips on:

- Embracing an Unstructured Structure with LIFE

-How to be intentional and choose to hope during seasons of challenge

-Focusing on Jesus in an otherwise noisy world (toddlers, teenagers, and current culture)

*     Relationships, Rest, and What Really Matters (Jesus!)
