Saying No this Maycember: How to Protect Your Peace Without Guilt - Episode 45

Maycember is in full swing. School parties, recitals, graduations, and a calendar that's super full. And somewhere in the middle of it all… you finally made your peace a priority and set boundaries by saying no. You protected your peace.
But now? You’re feeling guilty about it.
In this episode, I’m talking to the momma who’s second-guessing her 'no' during this busy May season. I unpack where that guilt comes from, how to silence it with God's truth, and why your boundaries matter...especially right now.
Just because May feels out of control doesn’t mean you have to be. Let’s talk about finding calm in the craziness and giving yourself the same kindness you offer everyone else.
You deserve peace, even in Maycember.

Embracing the Fruit of the Spirit: Self-Care for Christian Moms - Episode 43

Are you showing love, joy, and kindness to everyone but yourself, momma? In this episode, Embracing the Fruit of the Spirit: Self-Care for Christian Moms, I’m reminding you that the Fruits of the Spirit aren't just something you pour out, it’s something you’re meant to receive, too.
So many Christian moms are running on empty, thinking that self-sacrifice is the only way to serve well. But God’s Word tells a different story. Let’s walk through Galatians 5: 22–23 together and talk about how love, peace, gentleness, and self-control are not just for your family, they’re for you.
You'll learn:
*How the Fruit of the Spirit can be a foundation for your personal self-care.
*Why practicing love and gentleness toward yourself honors God.
*Simple ways to start embodying the fruit, not just producing it for others.
If you’ve ever felt guilty for slowing down or caring for your emotional and spiritual well-being, this episode will speak straight to your heart.
You are worthy of the same love you so freely give.--------
