Time for Mom | Self-Esteem, Routines, Mom Guilt, Priorities, Comparison, Devotional, Self-Worth

Do you question God when asks you to obey but you don't understand why he's asking—just like your kids question you? Have you fought with God when you didn't understand his direction? Are you wondering if God is okay with your questions or if he's asking you for silent obedience? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, coach, and mentor. After years of comparison and mom guilt, I learned the secret to becoming the mom my girls needed! By prioritizing time with Jesus, building simple routines that actually worked, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth look like through God’s eyes, I was able to find joy in motherhood. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how watching my kids ask questions and struggle with obedience opened my eyes to how I do the same with God so you can find peace in the struggle between obedience and understanding.  Obedience often comes before understanding, both for our kids and for us with God. Kids play the “Why?” game, and we often do the same with God when we delay obedience. God sees dangers, consequences, and priorities we don't, just like we do with our children. It’s healthy to ask God why, but He still calls us to obedience rooted in love (Deuteronomy 11:1). God sometimes withholds answers because faith grows through trust, not full explanations. Acts of obedience—like Rahab’s—can shape generations, even when we don’t see the fruit right away. Choosing obedience over questioning helps us build spiritual routines, stronger faith, and deeper trust in God’s guidance. Next Steps: >Free 45-minute workshop coming in April!

Do your SAHM routines leave you exhausted and empty? Have you ever said, "I need me time!" but just felt guilty? Are you comparing yourself to other moms and wondering why none of them seem as tired as you? (They probably are.) If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting comparison and mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is. This podcast is for moms who want Biblical encouragement and real‑life devotions. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing about 3 different kinds of rest (physical, spiritual, and mental) so you can find where you need rest as a mom and as a family. How you get the rest you need isn't always the same as your spouse, bestie or even your kids. You can rest on any day, it doesn't have to be on a Sunday. What will work for you and your family around school and work? The rest we need varies week to week. What kind of rest are you needing this week? Do you need one or all three kinds of rest? The hardest part is sticking to rest. Schedule it like you would an appointment if you need to.

Have you noticed moments—just like your kids—when comparison, impatience, or selfishness reveal areas where God is still growing your heart? Do you ever feel stuck in a spiritual “baby stage,” repeating the same routines and wrestling with guilt when your priorities slip? Are you willing to let God mature you beyond spiritual milk, even in the exhausting SAHM seasons where your self‑esteem feels low and devotions feel hard to keep up? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting comparison and mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is.

If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how motherhood mirrors our spiritual growth from baby to adult so you can see your own spiritual progress with fresh eyes.  Our kids’ behavior reflects our own spiritual tendencies. As we grow, our prayers shift from self‑focused to others‑focused. God delights in our small steps of obedience the way we delight in our kids. Spiritual maturity is a choice, not a timeline.

Do you feel guilty for prioritizing your kids over your marriage but don't know how to stop? Have your SAHM routines pushed your marriage to the bottom of your priority list without realizing it? Are you trying to keep your marriage alive, but aren't sure how with the constant demands of motherhood? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting comparison and mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is. This podcast is for moms who want Biblical encouragement and real‑life devotions. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing why and how to take time to nurture your marriage in the season of motherhood so you can keep your marriage strong even when your kids are demanding all of your time.  Your marriage can’t thrive on autopilot — relationships weaken when they’re not intentionally nurtured. Just like muscles, connection atrophies when ignored, and the longer it’s neglected, the harder it becomes to rebuild. Your kids will be okay when you pause to prioritize your spouse. A stolen hug, a quick kiss, or a five‑minute conversation won’t harm them — but it will strengthen the foundation they depend on. You don’t need elaborate date nights to stay connected. Staying emotionally connected starts with simple habits: greet each other, check in, and make space for real conversation.

Are you living the SAHM life so nonstop that reconnecting with God feels impossible? Is guilt creeping in because your devotions have slipped out of your routines? Have your priorities shifted so slowly that you didn't notice until God seemed silent? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not-so-secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is.

It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing 7 ways for SAHMs to reconnect with God that I use so you can stay connected to God even when mom life is crazy.  Set aside time to read or listen to the Bible every day.

Is your view of “husband as head of the house” shaped by Scripture or by tradition, old routines, and comparison? Are you carrying guilt from not following beliefs God never actually asked you to follow? Would your priorities shift if your marriage was an equal partnership rooted in biblical principles and not a hierarchy? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not-so-secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is.

If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing some hard truths about marriage dynamics and how my husband and I navigate them so you can stop comparing your marriage to others and start building your marriage in healthy ways.  Authority doesn't look the same, but it doesn't mean it's not equal. Me Jane, he Tarzan doesn't mean I'm less capable but that the things that I'm the most capable in is different than him – hence partnership. If we want to do something but one of us doesn't agree, we don't do it or at the very least hold off until we have communicated and prayed and come to an agreement. What has God convicted you of verses what are the things you grew up thinking is normal? Don't compare your husband to someone else's. Find the cultural context of Scripture and stop taking it at face value.

Have you ever wondered what God's provision looks like in your everyday life and routines? Do you compare what we experience with Hollywood special effects and wonder if you've missed God working in your life? Does God's provision seem like a good idea, but you don't know what you're looking for? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower.

It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing 12 real life examples of what God's provision has looked like in my life so you can start seeing God's provision in your own life. What is the provision of the Lord? It's the not-so-glamorous things that happen to provide exactly what we need, not necessarily what we want. God's provision is: Unwanted direction.  Generosity. Knowledge and skills. Desperation and exhaustion. The death of pride. "No". Just enough. Things lasting when they shouldn't. Community. Peace that defies the situation. Affliction. Small.

Do you ever feel like you’re trying to clean up more than just the messes in your home? Have you noticed how some sins that stain your heart don’t wash out no matter what you do?

Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and hated your body? Do you wonder if there is any way to stop comparing your mom bod to what it was and loving how it is now? Are you hoping you can love yourself again someday? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting comparison and mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is.

If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing an amazing conversation about self-esteem, comparison, and loving your body with the lovely and fabulous Ashley Perry Lambert, host of the Fat Loss Momentum Podcast, so you can be encouraged and see your mom bod as the beautiful vessel it is.  God uses our broken times to draw us closer to him. You are so much more that what your body looks like. You can come to peace with your walk with God having to look different in motherhood. When God removes something, he replaces it with something better. Spiritual health is a part of being healthy and maintaining health. There is so much strength in motherhood. Becoming a mother helps you become selfless. Allowing God to transform you from the inside out is the only way for true transformation. Ask the Lord to reveal to you who you truly are outside of the titles and roles and believe him. The Lord has you in this season for a reason. Comparison is the thief of joy.

Have you ever been afraid to pray? Has your fear of God's answer ever paralyzed your prayers in your throat? Have you been afraid God would bring the very thing you are praying against to pass? Have you thought that if you relinquished control and surrendered something to God then, of course, He was going to take it away? You aren’t alone. I have struggled with all these thoughts and so many more. Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not-so-secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is. This podcast is for moms who want Biblical encouragement and real‑life devotions. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing a time when I didn't want to pray because of fear, shame and guilt so you can find God's faithfulness in our failures.  Fear can make prayer feel dangerous, especially when we’re afraid of God’s answer. God is a Good Father who gives good gifts, even when His answers stretch our trust. Suffering shapes families, but we choose whether it makes us bitter or draws us closer to God. God listens to imperfect, fear‑filled prayers and still works for our good. Trust grows when we surrender what we can’t control and ask God to help our unbelief.

Does motherhood feel like it’s derailed your priorities and canceled your calling? Are you stuck in routines that make you wonder How God could use this season of wiping butts for anything meaningful? Do you ever feel guilty for wasting time even though your whole day is spent serving your family? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not-so-secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is. This podcast is for moms who want Biblical encouragement and real‑life devotions. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how God is using a 20-year-old mistake so you can be encouraged when you look back on your past.  Nothing you walk through is wasted. God uses every season, even the messy ones, to shape you. Your mistakes and wasted time don't limit what you can do now and in the future. Your mistakes and wasted time don’t disqualify you. They often become the very tools God uses to equip you. Growth takes time. Running from or ignoring your calling doesn’t cancel it. SAHM life is exhausting, and the routines can feel endless, but this season can grow you in ways nothing else can — stretching your patience, your priorities, redefining your self‑esteem, and your dependence on God. Motherhood isn’t undoing you; it’s refining you. God is using even the emotional cliffs and chaotic days to build strength, wisdom, and compassion in you.

This podcast is for moms who want Biblical encouragement and real‑life devotions. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing the slow journey of navigating big changes so you can find hope and peace as you navigate those rapid changes of SAHM life.   Big life changes can make us lose sight of the bigger picture. Focusing only on what’s hard blinds us to the good still in front of us. Every season has purpose, even the overwhelming ones. Survival-mode moments deepen our dependence on God. God is with us while we are slogging through the forest.

Do you ever see your kids’ behavior and suddenly realize, “That’s exactly what I do to God”? Have you been rejected by your child and wondered if that’s how God still loves us when we push Him away? Are you carrying guilt because motherhood keeps exposing the parts of you God is still gently shaping? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not-so-secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is. This podcast is for moms who want Biblical encouragement and real‑life devotions. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how Motherhood became a Spiritual classroom so you can start growing with your kids.  1. Motherhood reveals how often we fight God just like our kids fight us. 2. Seeing the love of God sprouting in your kids teaches you about grace. 3. Your child’s “I don’t like you” moments help you understand God’s unconditional love. 4. There is purpose in the struggle—for your kids and for you. 5. Your kids’ behavior becomes a living parable of your relationship with God.

Do your kids ask to do things that you don't want to, like dance in public? Have you given into those cute little faces and surprised yourself by actually doing well? What if God is asking you to step out and try new things? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not-so-secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is. This podcast is for moms who want Biblical encouragement and real‑life devotions. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing a devotion on how much trying to draw (not an artist!) has grown me spiritually so you can see those boundary stretching things in a new way.  Trying matters more than perfection — to your kids and to God. Your children delight in your presence, not your skill level — and God delights in your obedience the same way. You can do more than you think because God has already prepared good works for you (Ephesians 2:10). Fear of failure keeps us stuck in old identities, but trying builds confidence and spiritual maturity. When we stop trying, we miss out on discovering the gifts God has placed in us.

How do you prioritize choices in the gray areas of life that are beneficial for your kids, your home, and your marriage?

In this episode, I’m sharing 6 ways to overcome that mommy burnout so you can start thriving in motherhood.  Adjust your expectations. Keep trying. Give yourself some grace. Your child is doing this life thing for the first time, and so are you. You are both going to mess up, and when you do, you have to try again. You will need to nap too. Take care of you. You are so important to your family, your husband and your kids. If you neglect yourself, eventually your physical mental and spiritual health will crumble. And when that happens, you won't be able to be a mom, you'll be a basket case. Remember your marriage. Your kids need a father just as much as they need you. You need your spouse and he needs you.

In this episode, I’m sharing about lessons on habitual sins inspired from coughing fits so you can be encouraged to break free from those things that are causing guilt in your SAHM life.  Some truths about habitual sin: Habitual sin will rob you of joy, peace, innocence, relationships, health. Habitual sin breaks trust and causes a cascade of problems. Habitual sin keeps you on edge. You're constantly on guard, trying to keep from being caught. Trying not to say the wrong thing or let on that you're doing whatever you're doing. Your character will eventually start to be warped by the very thing you are hiding. Sin gets so comfortable it seems like a snug, warm coat. Wrapped tight on a cold day and it's not until you get back inside that you realize what you thought was a snug, warm coat is a straitjacket that is robbing you of true freedom. Sin is a robber, thief, and vandal. Sin vandalizes the beautiful parts of your spirit causing unerasable damage. You might repair it, but you're never going to be the same. Praise God that He works with imperfect people. Here are five things that helped me in the fight against habitual sin. Find an accountability partner or two or three! As many as you need. Be rid of anything that you currently have that is helping you fall into sin. For some people this means actively avoiding specific places or people. For others this means filling the spaces with people who fill them with life. Read the Bible as often as you can. Listen to it on your phone. Scripture is a powerful tool. Pray. Any time you feel tempted, pray and reach out to those accountability partners so that they can join you in prayer. The power of prayer is compounded when you are joined by fellow believers. Worship.
