Do you ever look at your family calendar and feel like it owns you instead of the other way around? Between work deadlines, school events, extracurriculars, church commitments, and endless to-do lists, many Christian working moms feel stretched thin. But clutter isn’t just about stuff—it shows up in our schedules, our routines, and even our hearts.

In this episode, we’ll explore how to mindfully declutter your family calendar and to-do list so you can reclaim simplicity, breathe deeper, and create more space for what matters most. By aligning your schedule with God’s priorities, you’ll discover that less really can mean more—more peace, more presence, and more joy.

Are you truly burnt out, or are you just having a rough day? In this episode of The Golden Spark Podcast, we dive deep into the subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs of mom burnout—and how to tell if what you’re feeling is simply temporary stress or a deeper cycle of exhaustion that needs your attention.

As a Christian mom, it’s easy to fall into the trap of doing all the things—from managing kids’ schedules, tackling endless to-do lists, and trying to keep up with work, home, and church commitments—only to end up feeling depleted, disconnected, and spiritually drained. I share personal insights, emotional and spiritual warning signs of burnout, and practical strategies to step out of survival mode and into God-led peace and rest.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

How to recognize the difference between a bad day and true burnout.

The physical, emotional, and spiritual signs that you might be running on empty.

Why modern mom culture pushes us toward burnout—and how to fight back.

Simple steps to reset your mindset, release overcommitment, and realign with God’s plan.

A practical challenge to help you identify the stressors causing overwhelm.

Scripture References:

Matthew 11:28-30 – “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Galatians 5:1 – “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.”
