The Mom Self-Care Podcast

3 Scriptures That Remind Moms They Don’t Have to Do it All - EPS 94

Motherhood can make you feel like you have to be everything for everyone.
As a Christian mom, you may find yourself trying to meet every need, carry every responsibility, and show up in every way. Over time, that expectation can become your normal, even when it leaves you feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted.
In this episode of The Mom Self-Care Podcast, I’m sharing three scriptures that remind us of something many moms need to hear:
You don’t have to be everything.
These bible verses speak to how God leads you in motherhood, how He designed you with a specific role, and who you are truly called to live for.
It’s about releasing expectations that were never yours to carry and returning to what God is actually asking of you.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
💜 How God gently leads you in motherhood.💜 Why you were never meant to do everything.💜 The truth about people pleasing in motherhood.
If you’ve been trying to hold everything together or feeling like you have to be everything for everyone, this episode will encourage you and remind you of what God says about your role as a mom.

Setting Boundaries to Protect Your Peace as a Christian Mom

 
Setting boundaries as a mom can feel uncomfortable… especially when you’re used to showing up for everyone else.
You want to be present and supportive. But at some point, constantly saying yes starts to affect your peace.
In this episode of The Mom Self-Care Podcast, I’m joined by Rashatta Daugett, a faith-driven leader, speaker, and mentor who helps women live with intention while honoring their capacity.
We’re talking about what it really looks like to set boundaries as a Christian mom and why protecting your peace is not something you should feel bad about.
You’ll hear:
💜 Why so many moms struggle with setting boundaries.💜 How constantly showing up for others can lead to burnout.💜 What boundaries can look like in your everyday life.💜 How to protect your peace while still honoring God and your family.
This conversation will remind you that you don’t have to do everything to be a good mom and setting boundaries is holy.

What I Learned at the Church Ladies Retreat: You’re Not Finished - EPS 92

I just got back from the Church of Christ Ladies Lectureship retreat and I’m still thinking about it. Being around so many fellow sisters in Christ, the singing, the great speakers, and my hotel stay. It was awesome.
But there was one message that really stayed with me. It came from Micah 7:8 and the reminder was simple: Falling does not finish you.
As Christian moms, it’s easy to feel like when we fall back into old habits, when we get tired or when we don’t follow through the way we planned… it means something about us or that we aren't growing.
In this episode of The Mom Self-Care Podcast, I’m sharing a little about the retreat and the takeaway that I believe so many of us need right now.
Momma, you’re not finished. God is still working in you.
💜 You’ll be encouraged to:
• Stop letting one moment define you.
• See your growth differently.
• Get back up without carrying shame.
I hope this blesses you!

Momma, Are You Martha or Mary? EPS 90

Momma, are you always doing something for someone else?
Taking care of your kids, your home, and your responsibilities. Making sure everyone else is good but you feel tired, overwhelmed, and mentally exhausted.
If you’ve been dealing with mom burnout or struggling to make time for self-care as a Christian mom, you’re not alone. Many Christian moms have learned to put themselves on the back burner because we were taught to put others before ourselves.
But the Bible doesn’t say take care of everyone else instead of yourself. Can you relate?
I remember a time when I was constantly busy… always doing, always serving. And I didn’t even realize how disconnected I had become from just being present with myself and with God.
In this episode of The Mom Self-Care Podcast, I’m taking you through the story of Martha and Mary in Luke 10:38–42 and what it reveals about Christian mom burnout, busyness, and learning how to prioritize self-care in a way that honors God.
You’ll hear:
💜 The difference between Martha and Mary and what it means for your life today.
💜 How constant busyness can lead to overwhelm and emotional exhaustion.
💜 A reminder that you don’t have to earn rest.
💜 Encouragement for overwhelmed Christian moms who are ready to stop putting themselves on the back burner.
This episode is for the Christian mom who feels overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in a cycle of always doing and is ready to experience a new way of showing up with peace and intention.
If you’re ready to stop putting yourself on the back burner and start showing up for you again… 👉 Join the Moms Matter Too Challenge starting March 26th here: https://mailchi.mp/cicinspireme/momsmattertoo 💜

Creating a Peaceful Home Begins with Self-Forgiveness - EPS 89

There are moments in motherhood where you look back and wish you had done something differently.
Maybe you said something you regret. Maybe you handled a situation in a way you wish you could redo. Or maybe you’ve been carrying guilt while still showing up for your family every day.
Many moms extend grace to everyone else…but struggle to give that same grace to themselves.
In this episode of The Mom Self-Care Podcast, I’m joined by Nadia Forbes, a woman of God who is intentional about creating a peaceful, loving atmosphere in her home even in the middle of real-life challenges.
We’re having an honest conversation about self-forgiveness, releasing guilt, and what it looks like to show yourself grace as a mom.
You’ll hear:
💜 Why self-forgiveness matters in motherhood.💜 How guilt can affect your home, your peace, and your relationships.💜 Simple ways to begin letting go and creating a more loving atmosphere in your home.
This episode will remind you that you don't have to be perfect to be filled with love.
And you don’t have to hold things against yourself to be a good mom.Connect with Nadia here:

3 Scriptures That Remind Moms They Matter Too - EPS 88

Motherhood is beautiful, but it can also be exhausting.
Many Christian moms feel like they have to do everything for everyone else while putting their own needs on the back burner. Over time, that emotional and spiritual exhaustion begins to affect how you feel, how you respond to your family, and how you show up in your own life.
In this episode of The Mom Self-Care Podcast, I’m sharing three powerful scriptures that remind us of something many moms forget: You matter too.
We’ll look at what the Bible says about building your home, caring for yourself, and responding when you feel weary and overwhelmed.
They are reminders that God cares about you, your well-being, and the condition of your heart as much as the work you do for your family.
If you’ve been feeling emotionally drained, spiritually tired, or like you’ve been carrying too much for too long, this episode will encourage you and remind you of the truth God speaks over your life as a mom.
In this episode, we talk about:
💜 Proverbs 14:1 and what it really means to build your home.💜 Why loving others includes caring for yourself too (Mark 12:31).💜 Why your emotional and spiritual health matters in motherhood.
If this message resonates with you and you’re realizing that you’ve been putting yourself on the back burner, I want to personally invite you to join my Moms Matter Too Challenge.
This 7-day experience is designed to help moms begin caring for themselves in a way that supports their emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.
You’ll receive short daily encouragement, simple reflections, and practical ways to begin including yourself again.

What Changes When You Believe You’re Worthy of Love - EPS 86

Have you ever wondered what would actually change in your life if you truly believed you were worthy of love?
Not just saying God loves you, but truly embracing it and living like it’s true. I
n this episode of The Mom Self-Care Podcast, I’m sharing what shifts when Christian moms stop questioning their worth and starts living like they are already loved.
Because when you believe you’re worthy of love:
💜 You don’t feel the need to justify why you need self-care.
💜 You don’t apologize for making yourself a priority.
💜 You allow yourself to be supported without feeling like you owe something in return.
So many Christian moms question their worth. Sometimes it shows up as self-doubt. Sometimes it shows up as mom guilt. And sometimes it shows up as feeling more comfortable being needed than being loved.
This episode is about shifting that belief and embracing your self-worth in Christ. It’s about receiving love without feeling like you have to earn it. It’s about living secure in who God says you are.
And if you’re ready to go deeper, I want to invite you to join me for Learning to Receive Love on February 28th at 10am CST. Inside this class, you’ll begin shifting the belief that love must be earned and learn how to live secure in your identity as a woman of God.
Save your seat here: https://mailchi.mp/774c1b5eaac5/a35f3hwk49
You are already loved. Now you get to decide whether you’ll live like it. 💜
Share this episode with a momma you love.

Why Being Needed Feels Safer Than Being Loved - EPS 85

Have you ever felt like feeling mom guilt means you are a good mom?
Like if you stopped feeling bad about resting, saying no, or taking space… you might be a bad mom?
Many Christian moms have been taught that self-sacrifice equals love. That being strong means carrying everything. That feeling guilty is conviction.
But what if being needed feels safer than being loved?
In this episode of The Mom Self-Care Podcast, I'm talking about why so many moms feel more comfortable being needed than being loved and what that reveals about how you view your worth.
I talk about:
💜 How mom guilt is passed down.
💜 Why self-sacrifice can become your identity.
💜 The belief underneath it all: Do I actually believe I’m worthy of love?
💜 A faith-based reminder of who you are in Christ.
It’s about asking a deeper question: Do I believe I am worthy of love without earning it?
Because when worth is questioned, receiving will always feel uncomfortable.
If this episode resonates you, I want to invite you to join me for Learning to Receive Love at the end of this month. We’re going deeper into breaking the belief that love must be earned and learning how to feel secure in receiving love from God, others, and even yourself.
Join us for Learning to Receive Love on Feb. 28th here: https://mailchi.mp/774c1b5eaac5/a35f3hwk49
