Hey Mama!

As summer ends and a new school year begins, many Christian moms find themselves asking, “Did I do enough?” In this second episode of our Transition Mini Series, I unpack the pressure of mom guilt, why we focus on what we didn’t do instead of what we did, and how to reframe our thoughts with biblical truth and gratitude.

If you’ve ever felt like you fell short as a mom at the end of summer—or if your kids’ “I wish we did more” comments made you question everything you worked so hard to do—this episode will help you release guilt, embrace gratitude, and step into the new season with freedom.

Key Takeaways:

• Why mom guilt intensifies during transitions like back-to-school.
• How mindfulness and gratitude can shift your perspective away from guilt and toward freedom in Christ.
• How to reframe your children’s “I wish” comments into opportunities for joy and future connection.

This episode is part of the Summer Confidence Mini Series, designed to guide Christian moms out of survival mode and into intentional leadership. Learn how to turn chaotic summer days into meaningful memories.

Hey Mama!

If you've been feeling like you're constantly playing catch-up this summer—torn between keeping your home in order and being present with your kids—you're not alone. In this episode, we’ll explore why summer feels so overwhelming for moms and how to shift from frustration to intentional leadership, right where you are. Discover how to manage the mess, reclaim peace in your home, and focus on what truly matters without sacrificing your sanity or joy.

Key takeaways:

• Identify your non-negotiable spaces (just 1-2 areas) instead of trying to keep your entire home perfect, which allows you to maintain sanity while still making summer memories.
• Challenge the pressure-inducing thoughts with God's truth, especially Philippians 4:8-9, practicing "thoughtful rest" to redirect your attention to what holds eternal value.
• Lead through the chaos by involving your kids in solutions, creating simple bonding activities like card games, and learning to "read the room" to balance productivity with your family's needs.
