The Mom Self-Care Podcast

Leaving Mom Guilt Behind in Your New Season - EPS 104

Have you been carrying mom guilt from one month to the next without even realizing it?
As we start a new month, it’s easy to bring the same expectations, and the same thoughts with us. The desire to do everything right, to do more, and to be everything for everyone doesn’t just go away on its own. That’s what keeps the cycle of mom guilt going.
In this episode of The Mom Self-Care Podcast, I'm talking about what it really looks like to leave mom guilt behind as you move forward. Not by wishing it away, but by shifting the way you think, what you hold on to, and what you believe about yourself as a mom.
If you’ve been feeling the pressure to hold everything together, and struggling with mom guilt, this episode will help you pause, reflect, and make different choices in the future.
And if you’re ready to go deeper and truly break free from the weight of mom guilt, I want to invite you to my Release Mom Guilt Masterclass. This is where I help you renew your mindset, release unrealistic expectations, and start showing up with more peace, confidence, and clarity as a mom and woman!

3 Scriptures to Help You Break Free from Mom Guilt - EPS 103

Have you ever felt like everything depends on you as a mom?
Like if you don’t get this mom thing right, your children will be affected in ways you can’t fix later?
Many moms carry that pressure without even realizing it. We love our children so much, but that love can slowly turn into fear, control, and feeling responsible for things that were never ours to carry.
In this episode of The Mom Self-Care Podcast, I’m sharing 3 scriptures that will challenge the way you think about your role as a mom. Including what happens when we start putting our children in a place only God was meant to have.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
💜 What it really means to let go of the past and move forward.
💜 How your thoughts can keep you stuck if you don’t take them captive.
💜 The truth about putting God first, even before your children.
If you’ve been feeling like you have to hold everything together, make all the right decisions, and protect your children from everything, this episode is for you!
And if this is something you’ve been struggling with, especially when it comes to feeling responsible for everything and carrying that weight as a mom, I want to invite you to my Release Mom Guilt Masterclass.
This is where I help you break free from the pressure, the overthinking, and the belief that you have to be a perfect mom, so you can show up as the mom God is calling you to be without all the guilt.

Mom Guilt: Is it Conviction or Condemnation? - EPS 102

Are you carrying around the heavy weight of mom guilt this summer, Momma? In last week's episode, my guest and I talked about why Christian moms struggle so much with feeling guilty just for taking care of themselves. Today, I am taking the next step to look at the spiritual root of that weight and how to dismantle it for good.
In this episode, I am diving deep into a truth bomb dropped by my recent guest: conviction comes from God, but guilt comes from you.
If you’ve ever wondered if that heavy, nagging feeling in your heart is a holy check up or a scheme from the enemy, this episode is for you. I am addressing the difference between Holy Spirit conviction and the mom guilt that leads to condemnation.
In this episode, I talked about:
💜 How to instantly know if a feeling is drawing you closer to God or making you want to hide from Him in shame.
💜 How the Holy Spirit lovingly checks our spirit before we even make a mistake.
💜 The question to ask yourself the next time that heavy feeling hits so you can stop the cycle of condemnation. Conviction is to help protect your peace and growth, not punish you.
RESOURCE MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Ready to break free from the heavy weight of mom guilt and condemnation for good? In the Release Mom Guilt Masterclass, you will learn how to silence the negative self-talk and tune into God's peaceful direction for your life.

Why Christian Moms Feel Guilty Taking Care of Themselves - EPS 101

Sometimes the hardest part of self-care isn't finding the time. It's overcoming the mom guilt we feel.
As Christian moms, many of us know we need rest. We know we need boundaries. We know we need to take care of ourselves. Yet the moment we try, we feel guilty.
We wonder if we're being selfish. We feel like we should be doing something else. We ignore our needs again.
In this episode of The Mom Self-Care Podcast, I'm joined by Kisha "Coach K" Simmons, Certified Christian Counselor, Confidence Coach, and Soul Care Strategist, for a conversation about why so many Christian moms struggle with guilt when it comes to taking care of themselves.
We talked about where that guilt comes from, how it affects us emotionally and spiritually, and why caring for yourself is an important part of stewardship.
We discussed:
💜 Why Christian moms often feel guilty taking care of themselves.
💜 Where that guilt comes from and why it feels so strong.
💜 Why many moms struggle to separate who they are from what they do for others.
💜 Simple encouragement for moms who are learning to care for themselves without shame.
If you've ever felt bad for resting, setting boundaries, or making yourself a priority, this conversation will encourage you and remind you that taking care of yourself matters too.

Momma, Who Are You Waiting for Permission From? EPS 100

Momma, who are you waiting for permission from? A lot of us have been going through motherhood and life waiting for someone to validate us before we fully step into who we are.
Waiting to speak up. Waiting to set boundaries. Waiting to do what God has already placed on our hearts.
And the truth is… that permission was never theirs to give.
In this episode of The Mom Self-Care Podcast, I’m talking about what it really looks like to stop waiting for permission and start trusting your voice as a woman of God.
This message was inspired by something I heard recently from Real Talk Kim that confirmed what I’ve already been teaching and what many moms need to be reminded of.
I shared:
💜 Why boundaries are biblical and necessary in motherhood.
💜 What it looks like to trust your own voice as a mom.
💜 How waiting for permission can keep you stuck longer than necessary.
If you’ve been second-guessing yourself, holding back, or waiting for someone to approve what God has already placed in you… this episode is for you.
Momma, you don’t need permission to take care of yourself. You don’t need permission to grow. And you don’t need permission to walk in who God created you to be.

Rest Requires Surrender - EPS 99

Mommas, sometimes we think rest is just about getting more sleep or taking a break. But what if true rest goes deeper than that? Because it does.
As Christian moms, many of us are carrying emotional weight, mental exhaustion, stress, worry, and things we were never meant to hold onto. We keep pushing through, trying to handle everything on our own, not realizing that real rest requires surrender.
In this episode of The Mom Self-Care Podcast, I’m joined by LaTrae “Coach Tea” Wilson, Behavioral Health Coach and Christian Counselor, for a insightful conversation about what rest really means for Christian moms.
We talked about mental, emotional, and spiritual rest, how unresolved emotional struggles can affect our well-being, and why surrendering things to God is an important part of healing.
We touched on:
💜 Why rest is more than just physical.
💜 How emotional and mental exhaustion affects moms.
💜 The connection between healing and surrender.
💜 Encouragement for moms who feel emotionally overwhelmed.
If you’ve been feeling exhausted, mentally drained, or like you’ve been carrying too much on your own, this conversation is for you!
Enjoy and share it with a momma you love!

How Christian Moms Can Avoid Summer Burnout

Summer break can feel overwhelming for moms. The routines change, the kids are home more, the house gets louder, and suddenly you’re carrying even more emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
If you’re a Christian mom already feeling exhausted before summer officially begins, this episode is for you.
In this episode of The Mom Self-Care Podcast, I’m talking about summer burnout for moms, the emotional weight many mothers carry during this season, and how to create a more peaceful summer intentionally instead of only surviving it. I also spoke about the story of Martha and Mary in the bible and why God doesn't want moms to serve their families from a place of exhaustion.
I shared:
💜 Why summer often exposes the overwhelm moms have already been carrying.
💜 How many Christian moms connect their worth to constantly doing for others.
💜 Practical questions to help you create a calmer, more peaceful summer.
💜 The importance of boundaries, breathing room, and protecting your peace as a mom.
💜 Why your children benefit from a rested and emotionally present mother.
If you’ve been feeling emotionally drained, overwhelmed, overstimulated, or anxious about summer break, let this episode remind you that your peace matters too.
I also created a special experience for Christian moms called Martha to Mary Summer Reset happening at the beginning of June. If you’re tired of carrying everything on your shoulders and you want support creating a more peaceful, intentional summer, I would love for you to join us.

Food Freedom for Christian Moms - EPS 97

As moms, it’s easy to put ourselves on the back burner when it comes to food and taking care of our health.
If you’re a Christian mom struggling with guilt around food or trying to create healthier eating habits without extra stress or perfection, this conversation will encourage you.
Have you ever felt like taking care of your health has to be all or nothing? Like if you can’t do everything perfectly, there’s no point in trying?

We’re talking about creating healthy eating habits, grace-filled nutrition, and what it looks like to care for yourself in a consistent way relying on God to help you instead of trying to do it on your own.
We talked about:
💜 What food freedom really means.
💜 Why moms struggle with guilt around food.

💜 Encouragement for moms who are tired of the all-or-nothing mindset.

4 Lessons from the Michael Movie: Legacy, Breaking Free, and Purpose - EPS 96

After watching the Michael Jackson movie this weekend, I found myself thinking about more than just the music. It had me reflecting on legacy, purpose, and what it really looks like to break free and become who God created you to be. Beyond the stage lights, there was a profound story of Michael navigating the tension between external expectations and following his internal voice.
As I watched his story on screen again (Having seen The Jacksons: An American Dream), I couldn't help but see the parallels in our own lives. How many of us are living a legacy that was handed to us through traditions rather than one we’ve chosen? How many of us are still waiting for permission to finally break free?
In today’s episode, I’m sharing four life lessons I took away from the Michael biopic:
*The Power of a Mother’s Words: Why letting your light shine is a non-negotiable responsibility.
*The Courage to Break Free: Navigating the painful but necessary process of stepping out from under family expectations and shadows.
*The Power of Affirmations: How Michael used the power of the tongue to shape his reality (and how you can too).
*Living Out Your Purpose: Realizing that your impact is directly tied to your willingness to be your most authentic self.
Whether you’ve been a fan for decades or just love a story of transformation, this episode is a call to look at the 'Man in the Mirror' and decide who you’re truly meant to be. It’s time to stop doing for everyone else and start being who God called you to be too!
Listen in and share with someone who needs to be encouraged!

Caring for Yourself Through Life Transitions as a Mom - EPS 95

Sometimes the hardest part of motherhood isn’t what’s on your to-do list. It’s learning how to care for yourself when your life or your body starts to change.
As moms, we’re used to showing up, pushing through, and doing what needs to be done for our children. But when you go through unexpected seasons, whether it’s a health challenge, an injury, or changes in your body (like perimenopause), it can affect you mentally, emotionally, and spiritually in ways you didn’t expect.
In this episode of The Mom Self-Care Podcast, I’m joined by Kim Hardy, a speaker, author, and mental health life coach, who shares her personal journey through life transitions, including her experience with injury and perimenopause.
We’re having a candid conversation about what it looks like to care for yourself in seasons that don’t feel familiar… and how to give yourself grace as you navigate them.
You’ll hear:
💜 How life transitions can impact your emotional and mental health.💜 What it looks like to care for yourself when your body is changing.💜 The importance of giving yourself grace in difficult seasons.💜 Encouragement for moms who feel like things don’t look or feel the same.
This conversation will remind you that even in seasons of change, you are still worthy of care, attention, and support.
