Faith Led Working Moms | Christian Podcast for Working Moms | Overwhelm, Anxiety, Balance & Parenting

You don't have to know everything this next year will hold. As a working Christian mom, it's easy to enter a new year or new season thinking about everything you need to accomplish, organize, improve, and manage. But what if you entered this next year with a different focus—not on having everything figured out, but on walking with God through whatever comes? In this special episode of Faith Led Working Moms, I'm speaking a blessing over you for the year ahead. This is a prayer for the working mom who wants to gr...

You know you’re already stretched thin. You know you don’t have the capacity for one more thing. And yet, when someone asks you to help, volunteer, take on another responsibility, or make room for one more thing, you say yes. Not because you actually have the time. Not because you really want to. But because saying no feels harder than saying yes. If you’re a Christian woman who struggles with people-pleasing, guilt, or feeling responsible for everyone around you, this episode is for you. As working Christ...

Just Because You Can Carry It Doesn’t Mean You Should As a working Christian mom, it can be easy to believe that being faithful means being available, capable, and dependable all the time. But what if you were never meant to carry everything? In today's episode, I'm talking about the pressure many women feel to do more, handle more, and keep everything together. The problem isn't always that we're doing bad things. Sometimes we're simply carrying too many good things. God created us with limits. Our time, energy, and attention are finite—and those limi...

  Not every job is a calling you picked — and for a lot of working moms, that's exactly the point. In this episode, we talk honestly about what it looks like to show up faithfully in work you didn't choose, why that counts as ministry, and how to find real joy even when you don't want to be there. This one is especially for the moms working because they have to, not because it was ever really a choice — and for anyone who's felt like they don't quite belong in the stay-at-home-mom world or the career-mom world...

Ever end a "successful" day at work and still go to bed feeling like you failed as a mom? You're not alone — and you're probably measuring success by a scorecard you never actually chose. In this episode, we talk about where our definition of success really comes from, why so many working moms feel like they're constantly falling short even when they're doing a lot right, and how to build a version of success that fits your actual life — not an impossible, contradictory standard stitched together from work culture, social media, and old expectations. In this...

Struggling with mom comparison? Learn why we compare ourselves to other moms, what Galatians 6:4 says about it, and 3 steps to break the cycle. You're having a perfectly fine day — until one scroll through Instagram, one glance at another mom's spotless kitchen, or one conversation about her thriving career sends you spiraling into "why can't I get it together like she has?" In this episode, I break down why comparison feels so powerful (hint: it's not really about wanting what she has), what Galatians 6:4 says about testing our own actions instead of measuring ourselves against someone el...

Do you find yourself constantly criticizing yourself? Maybe you made a mistake at work and can't stop replaying it. Maybe you lost your patience with your kids and spent the rest of the day feeling guilty. Maybe you didn't get everything done and immediately started thinking about what you should have done differently. For many Christian women, especially working moms, being hard on yourself can become so normal that you don't even recognize it anymore. You expect yourself to be patient, productive, organized, spiritually consistent, emotionally healthy, available to your family, successful at...

What do you do when you’re trusting God, but you still don’t know what’s next? Maybe you’re waiting for an answer, facing a difficult decision, navigating grief, worried about your finances, waiting on medical results, or simply wondering what the next season of life is going to look like. Uncertainty can make us crave control and clarity. We want the roadmap. We want to know how everything is going to work out. But Scripture reminds us that our security was never meant to come from knowing the future—it comes from knowing th...

If you’re a Christian mom who can’t stop worrying about your kids, you’re not alone. Whether you’re worried about their choices, friendships, health, faith, safety, or future, it can be incredibly difficult to trust God with the people you love most. In this episode of the Faith Led Working Moms Podcast, we’re talking about how to stop worrying about your children and learn to trust God with them. As moms, our worry often comes from a very real place of love. We care deeply about our children, so it can feel almost impossible...

Do you feel guilty every time you rest? As a working Christian mom, it can feel almost impossible to slow down without thinking about everything you still need to do. The laundry isn't finished, the emails aren't answered, the house needs attention, and there's always something else on your to-do list. But what if rest isn't something you have to earn? In this episode of the Faith Led Working Moms Podcast, we're talking about the guilt many Christian women feel around rest, productivity, and slowing down. We'll look at what the Bible really says about...

Do you struggle to spend time with God consistently? Maybe you've started a Bible reading plan with the best intentions, only to fall behind and feel guilty. If your quiet time has begun to feel more like another task on your to-do list than a relationship with God, this episode is for you. In Episode 221 of the Faith Led Working Moms Podcast, we're talking about why it's so hard to stay consistent in your devotional life and how guilt may actually be keeping you from growing closer to God. Instead of trying harder or chasing the perfect...

Have you ever prayed and realized you were just saying words? Or opened your Bible and felt... nothing? If you've been asking yourself "why don't I feel close to God anymore," this episode is for you. In this episode, we talk honestly about spiritual dryness, busy seasons that crowd out our time with God, and the difference between feeling distant from God and actually being distant from Him. You'll walk away with simple, practical steps to reconnect with God — even when life is loud or your faith feels flat. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why feeling di...

Do you ever feel like you're not really living — just making it through the day? Between work, school drop-offs, endless to-do lists, and trying to keep up with everyone's needs but your own, it's easy for busyness to pull you into survival mode without you even noticing. In this episode, we talk about why survival mode feels so normal for busy Christian moms, what it actually does to our hearts, and how God invites us to walk with Him — not once life slows down, but right in the middle of it. We look at Isaiah 40:29-31 and what...

Have you ever felt like no matter how much you do, it never feels like enough? Whether you're trying to be a better mom, a stronger Christian, a more productive employee, or simply keep up with life's endless demands, it's easy to fall into the trap of believing your worth is tied to your performance. In this episode of the Faith Led Working Moms Podcast, we're uncovering the difference between striving for God's approval and resting in His grace. If you've been exhausted by trying to earn your value through accomplishments, spiritual disciplines, or keeping everyone else...

Do you ever feel like you're carrying the weight of everyone's future on your shoulders? As a working Christian mom, it's easy to believe that if you can just stay organized, think ahead, and prepare for every possible outcome, you'll finally feel at peace. But the harder we try to control our circumstances, the more anxious and exhausted we often become. In this episode of the Faith Led Working Moms Podcast, we're talking about why letting go of control feels so difficult, what our anxiety may actually be revealing, and what the Bible says about...

Have you ever prayed, "God, I just want to know what You want me to do"? Whether you're making a decision about your career, parenting, relationships, finances, or simply trying to figure out your next faithful step, discerning God's leading can feel overwhelming. Many Christians worry about making the wrong decision or missing God's will altogether. The good news is that God has not left His children guessing. In this episode of the Faith Led Working Moms Podcast, we're exploring what the Bible says about discerning God's voice and walking confidently in His...

You don't have to be alone to feel lonely. Many working Christian moms spend their days surrounded by coworkers, family, church members, and endless responsibilities—yet still carry a quiet ache of feeling unseen, disconnected, or unknown. Loneliness isn't always about having too few people around you. Sometimes it's revealing that something is keeping you from experiencing the kind of relationships God created you to have. In this episode, we're answering the question, "Why do I feel so lonely?" from a biblical counseling perspective. Together we'll explore how busyness, disappointment, fear, and self-protection can quietly is...

Ep. 214 | How Do I Stop People Pleasing? Finding Freedom Through God's Approval Instead of Everyone Else's Do you struggle with people pleasing? Do you find yourself saying yes when you really want to say no, worrying about disappointing others, or constantly wondering what people think about you? If you've ever asked, "How do I stop people pleasing?" you're not alone. Many Christian women carry the weight of trying to make everyone happy—at work, at home, at church, and in their relationships. But constantly seeking approval can leave you exhausted, anxious, and feeling like you're ne...

Do you find yourself losing your patience with your kids and wondering, "Why do I keep getting so angry?" If you're an overwhelmed Christian mom who feels guilty after yelling, snapping, or reacting in frustration, you're not alone—and you're not without hope. In this episode of the Faith Led Working Moms Podcast, we're moving beyond parenting techniques to examine what God's Word says about anger. While exhaustion, stress, and busy schedules can make us more vulnerable, Scripture teaches that our reactions often reveal something deeper happening in our hearts. Together, we'll explore how anger ca...

Overwhelmed Working Mom? You're Allowed to Rest in the Middle Do you ever sit in the parking lot for one extra second before walking into work, wondering if anyone actually sees how much you're carrying?

Today we're talking about why you're not behind, you're not failing — you're simply in the middle of a hard, full season. And the middle is holy ground too. In...
