ENCORE: The Mom Comparison Trap This episode originally aired awhile back, but it's one I come back to again and again, especially during seasons when I notice comparison creeping in and stealing my peace. So today, I'm bringing it back as an encore. Whether you're scrolling social media or watching another mom at school drop-off, comparison is one of the easiest traps to fall into, and one of the hardest to climb out of. It can leave you feeling like you're behind, not doing enough, or like everyone else has something figured out that you don't. But that's not the truth. In this episode, I'm sharing practical and powerful way to shift out of that cycle of "compare and despair" and come back to your own lane, with confidence. You'll learn: How to recognize the comparison thoughts that quietly drain your confidence. The thought that helps you break the cycle (without pretending everything's fine) Real-life examples of how to shift from self-doubt to self-compassion A practice you can start this week to feel more grounded in who you are as a mom 💌 As a gift this season, I’m also sharing my Comparison Trap Workbook. A free,  resource to help you go deeper. It includes: Journal prompts Bridge thoughts Reflection space and more!

How To Discern Your Spiritual Gifts With Jill Simons In this episode, I'm joined by Jill Simons, founder of Many Part Ministries for a conversation that will change the way you think about spiritual gifts, specifically your spiritual gifts. Jill walks us through how charisms (another word for spiritual gifts) help you live in alignment with how God made you, avoid burnout, and start noticing where His grace is already flowing into your life. We talk about how these gifts show up in motherhood, how to identify them, and why it's so freeing to know what to say yes to, and what's okay to let go. You'll hear: The difference between talents and charisms (and why it matters) What "supernatural effectiveness" looks like in your everyday life How knowing your gifts can help you set better boundaries without guilt The practical tools that help you start discerning your charisms right away Whether you've never heard of charisms before or you're ready to dig deeper, Jill makes it easy to get started.

Mastering The Art of Saying No Without Guilt Sometimes saying "no" feels anything but peaceful. Even when we know it's the right decision, the guilt creeps in. We worry about letting people down, missing out, or not being seen as a "good mom." And before we know it, we've said yes to too many things that pull us away from what actually matters. In this episode, I'm talking about how to master the art of saying no with peace, purpose, and love. You'll hear: Why it's so hard to say no (even when we want to) How guilt disguises itself as responsibility What happens when we override our peace to please others A few mindset shifts that can help you say no with clarity and confidence Phrases to use when you need to set a boundary Why every "no" creates room for a better "yes" You're not selfish for needing space. You're not unkind for honoring your limits. But if that still feels hard, this episode will help.  If you liked this episode, here are some others you might enjoy: 37.

3 Powerful Verses to Eliminate Exhaustion This episode is for the moms who are just plain tired, body, mind, and soul. The kind of tired that sleep doesn’t touch. You’re doing your best, showing up for everyone, but quietly wondering… does it have to feel this heavy all the time? In today’s episode, I’m sharing three scripture verses that have been a lifeline for me, and for so many of the women I coach. These words from God are more than encouragement; they’re reminders that you’re not alone, and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself. Here's what you'll hear: Why exhaustion doesn't mean you're failing One thing to ask when you're running on empty and don't know where to turn A scripture that will help you shift the story you're telling yourself Simple ways to bring these verses into your daily rhythm If you're in a season where exhaustion feels like the norm, I want you to know you're not alone. You're not doing it wrong. And you're not meant to carry it all without help. These verses aren't just nice words, they're real anchors you can hold onto when you're running on empty.  If you liked this episode, here are some others you might enjoy: 35. 3 Powerful Verses To Beat Defeat 82.  Exquisite Self-Care 226.

This Simple Discipline Always Protects Your Peace In this episode, I'm sharing a one-word response that's helped me hold onto peace, even in the small, messy moments of everyday life. It's something inspired by a line from Jesus Calling, and now it's become a habit that grounds me when things don't go as planned. I'll talk about: The phrase I say when life throws curveballs Why it's not about indifference, but holy release How this discipline builds the strength we need for bigger challenges This is one of those small shifts that can make a big difference.

The Keep Going Fallacy Have you ever told yourself, "I just need to keep going..."? In the middle of full schedules and long to-do lists, especially around the holidays, it's easy to believe that we have no choice but to keep going. But what if that "just keeping going" mindset is actually costing you peace? In this episode, I'm sharing what I call the Keep Going Fallacy: the idea that quitting or pivoting means failure, when sometimes it's actually the most faithful, aligned, and peaceful decision you can make. You'll hear: Why hustle culture gets it wrong (especially for moms) How to tell the difference between real commitment and auto-pilot 5 powerful questions to help you decide whether to keep going, pivot, or pause Why giving something up doesn't mean giving up on yourself And I'll walk you through how to move forward with clarity, whether that means continuing with fresh intention or choosing a new path. This episode is for the mom who’s spinning her wheels, trying so hard to hold it all together. You’re allowed to pause. To breathe. To ask what’s really serving you—and to change your mind with grace.  If you liked this episode, here are some others you might enjoy: 69. The Need For Rest 81. Before You Burn Out 84.

How To Be Still And Know God You've probably seen Pslam 46:10 stitched on a pillow or printed in pretty script, "Be still and know that I am God." And if you're anything like I used to be, maybe that verse doesn't feel comforting, it feels heavy. Like a command you're constantly failing to follow. Who has time for stillness? Not when there's dinner to cook, laundry to fold, kids to juggle, and a mind that never stops spinning.  But what if being still isn't about doing nothing, but about becoming aware? What if it's less about stopping and more about remembering? In this episode, I'll talk about: What stillness actually looks like in a busy mom life (hint: it's not a silent retreat) The guilt and pressure we sometimes attach to spiritual practices, and how to let that go How your kids benefit when you model inner calm Why awareness might be the key to knowing God in your everyday life Three simple ways to bring more stillness to your week, even with a full plate If you've ever looked at that verse and thought, "That's not possible for me," this episode is for you. Let's quiet the noise, just for a moment, and remember who is really in control.  If you liked this episode, here are some others you might enjoy: 31. Peace Over Perfection 56.

The Excuses Keeping You Stuck (And How To Break Free) What's really holding you back from the changes you want to make in your life?

How To Talk To Your Kids About Food and Body Image What we say about food, exercise, and our bodies matters more than we realize - especially when our kids are listening. In this week, I'm joined again by Dr. Tiffany Watson (check out her previous guest appearance here), my own health and nutrition coach, to have a deeply needed conversation about how to foster healthy, peaceful attitudes around food and body image. We dig into the messages our children pick up from what we say (even casually), and how we can begin to reinforce those conversations with more awareness and intentionality. We talk about: What your child's inner voice is learning from the way you talk about food and your body Everyday phrases that unintentionally cause harm and how to shift them Five powerful mindset shifts you can begin using right away (no shame required) Subtle red flags to watch for in your child's behavior that may signal food anxiety or body image struggles Whether you have young kids, teens, or want to rewrite the narrative you were handed, this episode will help you speak and live from a more empowered place. Dr. Tiff also shares her new book, Your Unique Fizeek, designed to help girls build identify and confidence on things that last, not just the way they look.

How To Create Joy Even If Every Day is Chaos I used to believe that joy was something I had to earn - something that waited for me on the other side of a clean house, calm kids, or a to-do list that was finally finished. But here's what I've learned after years of motherhood and coaching:  Joy isn't waiting for you at the end of the chaos. It's available inside it. Even on the hard days. Especially on the hard days. In this episode, I'm sharing what it looks like to create joy - not by chasing perfect conditions, but by shifting how we see the ordinary moments of motherhood.  Here's what we'll talk about: Why your everyday chaos might be the exact place God wants to meet you with joy The real difference between happiness and joy, and why it matters in motherhood How to reframe messy, loud, and unpredictable moments as sacred work Five practical mindset shifts to stop chasing calm and start choosing joy now God isn't waiting for you to get it all under control before He offers joy. He's offering it to you right in the middle of your everyday chaos. Let this episode be your invitation to start looking for it.  If you liked this episode, here are some others you might enjoy: 77.

7 Ways To Beat Overwhelm And Find Balance Not too many years ago, overwhelm was my normal. I thought it was just part of motherhood. Something you managed, muscled through, or waited out. But what if it's not just something to manage, but something to understand and shift? In this episode, I'm sharing seven powerful mindset and lifestyle shifts that helped me go from drowning in mental clutter to creating a life that actually feels peaceful, even when it's busy. These are the exact things I turn to when I feel the overwhelm spiral creeping in. And they're the same tools I've shared with countless other moms who are ready for something different. You'll learn: Why doing more isn't the answer, and what to do instead. The question I ask to cut through the chaos and get back to clarity A powerful way to redefine what "good enough" means How small tweaks in your routine can create big space for peace What I had to unlearn about asking for help (and how it changed everything) Overwhelm still shows up from time to time. But now, I know what it's trying to tell me. It's not a failure. It's not a flaw. It's just a signal that something needs to shift. And the beautiful part? I get to choose how I respond. And, so do you. Listen to learn how.   If you liked this episode, here are some others you might enjoy: 28. Overcoming Overwhelm 192. How to S.T.A.R.T.

Let Go Of The Hustle: Embrace The Calm There was a time when I wore busyness like a badge of honor. My days were full (overflowing, really, but not in a good way) and yet I felt like I was constantly chasing something just out of reach. The more I did, the more disconnected I felt.  Eventually I found myself asking: what am I rushing toward...and what am I missing on the way? In this episode, I'm sharing the mindset shifts and practices that helped me release the pressure to do it all and start living with more calm, more intention, and more joy. If you feel caught in the swirl of motherhood this one's for you. I'll share Why your peace (not your productivity) is what your kids need most The cultural lies we've believed about busyness, value, and worth Practical ways to create margin, honor rest, and build daily rhythms How saying "no" to good things can open the door to the best things God didn't create you to live in overwhelm. You were made for peace, presence, and joy. Let this episode be a step toward that. And, if you're always tired of rushing and craving more calm I'd love to help. Whether it's inside my Busy to Balanced group program or through one-on-one coaching, we'll work together to create a life that feels more peaceful and aligned. If you're looking to find more peace around time, my book The Divine Time Solution (Digital + Audio or Paperback) is a great place to start.

5 Mindset Shifts For A More Peaceful Life There was a time in life when I felt like I had to do it all right. Fix every problem. Control every outcome. Keep everyone happy and everything on track. But even with all that effort, I wasn't feeling peaceful.  But the more I've learned, the more I've realized: peace doesn't come from doing more or doing it perfectly. It comes from thinking differently. In this epiosde, I'm sharing five mindset shifts that have completely changed how I experience motherhood, and how I help my clients do the same.  I'll share The suprirsing mindset that brings more peace than fixing ever could A better goal than controlling your kids' outcomes  Two questions that will help you respond (not react) in emotional moments How to trade comparison for celebration in your parenting Why the pressure for perfect moments steals your chance for connection and what to aim for instead. You don't need to do it all perfectly. You just need to shift one thought, to soften one moment, to choose connection again and again. You're already doing the most important work. Let's make it a little more peaceful. If you want to carry these mindset shifts with you throughout the week, my books are a great next step. They’re here to support you with faith-filled, practical guidance, no matter what season of motherhood you’re in.

How I Lost 20 lbs. at Age 50 At 49, I felt something shift. My dad had passed. My kids were growing up and heading off to college. I was inching closer to 50, and I started to wonder: What if I gave myself the gift of health for this birthday milestone - not through pressure or hustle, but through care and consistency? In this episode, I'm not handing you a formula or a list of rules. Instead, I want to share what really happened - what I learned, what shifted, and what it looked like to change in small, 10% ways that actually felt doable. I'll share How I moved from "just interested" to truly committed Why small, consistent actions (like 10 minutes of movement) made the biggest difference What changed in my mindset, and why it mattered more than any meal plan How I lost 20 pounds and gained energy, confidence and peace The powerful role community, coaching, and support played along the way By the end, I hope you'll see what I now know for sure: You don't need a huge overhaul to change your health. You just need one doable step. One new thought. One shift in belief. If you're ready to feel stronger too, more energized, and more at peace in your body and mind, my 10% Healthier program was made for you. It's how I started and it was the essential foundation to spring off of into awesome results. It's gentle, faith-filled, and designed to help you make real progress, without perfection.  Have questions about the program?

The Secret To Consistent Inner Peace There's a difference between having moments of peace, and living from a place of peace. And as moms, I know how often it feels like peace is just out of reach. Like maybe if the house was cleaner, or the kids were calmer, or if you could just get ahead on laundry...then maybe you'd finally feel it. But here's what I've learned: peace doesn't come from perfect conditions. It's something you can create even in the swirl of life. In today's episode, I'm sharing three guiding pillars that help me (and so many of my clients) experience real, lasting peace - right now.   I'll share Why peace isn't the absence of chaos A mindset shift that helps you let go of control without feeling like you're giving up What it actually looks like to be present (especially when your brain wants to race ahead) A better way to deal with mom guilt Tools you can use anytime you need to reset and come back to peace Peace isn't waiting for you at the end of a perfect day. It's something you can tap into right now. Start with one tool from this episode, practice it in a moment that feels hard, and then notice what changes. You don't have to escape your life to find peace. You can create it, right in middle of it. I'll tell you how.  If you liked this episode, here are some others you might enjoy: 7.
