Episode 13: Mom Anger—Everyone Has It. No One Talks About It.

Let’s be real—mom anger is one of those things nobody wants to talk about but we've all felt. You know that moment when your patience snaps, your tone sharpens, or you walk away thinking, 'What is wrong with me?!' I’ve been there too. That's why we're talking about it. In this first part of my Mom Anger Series, we’re getting real about what it is and its roots.
 
I share my own experience with anger- how I grew up with it and vowed I'd never let it into my parenting only to find myself repeating the patterns of my past. I share how shame, silence, and self-condemnation keep us trapped and the power of speaking about it. It wasn't until I heard another woman’s story that I began to feel courageous enough to face my own.
 
In this episode, we dig into:
🔥 Why anger itself isn’t the problem—it’s a signal.
💡 The different faces of anger: 'repressor' or 'expresser'
💔 The deeper roots of anger
🙏 My simple framework: Stop, Drop, and Soul—a way to pause, process, and invite God into the emotional moments
 
Anger isn’t something to hide or hate—it’s a signal that something in you needs healing. God built every emotion you have on purpose, and when you start to see anger as an invitation instead of a flaw, things begin to change.

Episode 11: The Spiritual Practice of Gratitude and a ‘Get To’ Attitude with Virginia Wear Kujabi

Hey mama—today’s conversation is one that will absolutely speak to you. I’m sitting down with my dear friend, Virginia Wear Kujabi—an international speaker, author, and host of The Formed Life podcast. We unpack what it really means to live a life of gratitude, not just when life feels good, but when it’s hard, messy, and nothing looks like what you prayed for. Especially in motherhood, this can be challenging in the mundane day-to-day details.
 
Virginia shares how her journey with gratitude started from a place of disappointment and entitlement—when she realized she was doing “all the right things” but still felt let down by God. Through that wake-up call, she discovered gratitude as a spiritual practice, not just a feeling. She walks us through how giving thanks, before seeing the outcome, opens our eyes to God’s fingerprints all over our lives.
 
Virginia shares how gratitude carried her through real-life storms like her newborn son’s open-heart surgery and the exhaustion of motherhood. It's changed the way she experiences everyday moments, from folding laundry to cooking dinner and everything in between. She shares a simple prayer you can make a mantra for yourself when you're not sure how to give thanks but want to anyway. And, we also discuss what gratitude is NOT because there is a difference between gratitude and toxic positivity.
 
If you’re like me, gratitude is something we have to be intentional about or else frustration and disappointment are just waiting to kick in. This episode will remind you that even in the hardest seasons, God is still good, still working, and still worthy of your praise.

Episode 10: You Are the Heart of Your Home! Why That Matters and How to Own It

Ever notice how when you’re ‘off’ the whole family feels it? Conversations get prickly, the kids bicker, and your husband slowly starts backing away…Yeah, been there too. In this episode, we’ll get honest about why that happens and why it matters so much. Because, you are the heart of your home.
 
I share a powerful moment when God whispered to me, “I made you the heart of your home. But if your heart is broken, you’ll keep leading from those broken places.” That truth hit hard. It reminded me that our energy, words, and body language set the tone of our homes. When our hearts are stuck in past pain patterns, it impacts everything in us and ripples into the atmosphere of our family.
 
In this episode, we unpack:
How your emotional and spiritual health shapes the tone of your home.
The biblical foundation of being “the heart” and why your role is divinely significant.
How the enemy uses exhaustion, distraction, and comparison to steal your peace.
Practical steps to nurture your heart—through quiet time with God, healing old wounds, and taking charge of your thoughts & words.
 
This isn’t about perfection—it’s about awareness, doing the work, and accepting God’s grace along the way. Because when your heart is whole, your home thrives.
 
Make sure to stick around ‘til the end- I have a slecial prayer for you. You’re not just managing your house, you are leading a new legacy. You’re chosen and made for this moment.

Episode 9: Dreams Don’t End at Motherhood: Ignite Your Dreams, Drop People-Pleasing, and Be More Than Mom with Dr. Emily Jacobs Jacobs

 
Ever felt like your dreams ended the day you became a mom? That the version of “you” before motherhood somehow got lost in the carpool line, dishes, and late-night feedings? You’re not alone—and this conversation proves it.
 
In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Emily Jacobs—wife, mom of two, advanced practice nurse, leadership coach, author, and founder of Empowered Moms, a community where dreams don’t end at motherhood. She’s also the creator of the More Than Mom Mentorship Program, which helps women rediscover who they are beyond the roles they play, gain fresh perspective into their dreams and provides powerful support through community.
 
We dig deep into:
The myth that motherhood means losing yourself—and how God never designed it that way.
How to recognize when “busy” becomes a distraction to your purpose.
The people-pleasing truth- when kindness is actually keeping you stuck.
The power of investing in yourself without guilt.
How to reclaim your dreams while keeping your family and faith first.
 
Emily shares how Empowered Moms was born out of her own struggle with identity after having kids, and how one simple act of courage—putting down a deposit for her first event—turned into a thriving movement helping women rise in leadership and purpose.
It’s real, it’s raw, and it’s a reminder that you can be a devoted mom and still chase the dreams God placed in your heart.

Episode 8: Too Much? Not Enough? Nope! The Secret of Your Superpower

Ever been told you’re too much—too loud, too emotional, too sensitive—or maybe not enough—not patient enough, not good enough, not spiritual enough? You’ve probably carried those words for years without realizing how deeply they shaped how you see yourself. But here’s the truth: those labels aren’t your limitation—they’re the exact place where your superpower is hiding.
 
In this episode, I open up about the stories we’ve believed since childhood—the ones that made us feel small, wrong, or unworthy—and how they’ve kept us spinning in cycles of shame, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. We’ll explore why these lies stick, how they show up in motherhood and relationships, and what God actually says about who you are.
 
You’ll hear me unpack:
How “too much” and “not enough” are just two sides of the same coin—both rooted in shame.
The truth about your God-given wiring and how the enemy tries to twist it into insecurity.
Practical steps to call out the lies, replace them with scripture, and reclaim your strength as the heart of your home.
Why your boldness, sensitivity, or passion isn’t a flaw—it’s divine design.
This episode is all about flipping the narrative. You are not too much, and you are definitely not lacking. God handcrafted you with purpose, power, and personality that this world needs.
It’s time to uncover the strength hiding behind the labels and walk confidently in who God says you are.

Episode 7: Where Do We Go From Here? From Troubled to Triumphant

This week’s episode was hard for me to find the words for at first. The energy has felt heavy, feelings volatile, and it's left a lot of people asking, 'Where do we go from here?'. After the tragic events we witnessed this past month, with the assassination of Charlie Kirk, I couldn’t just jump back into my usual message without pausing. Something shifted here in all of us, in our nation, and the world. The grief, the shock, and the weight of it all left me asking the same question. How do we move forward? I know I'm not the only one so, I wanted to share what I got from the aftermath of this greatly impactful man's life and death.
 
Here’s what I share:
Grief and Reflection – Why it’s okay to step back, get quiet, and process loss instead of rushing to “fix it.”
God’s Restoration – How even in tragedy, He redeems what was meant for evil and turns it for good (Romans 8:28).
Rising in Authority – Why our role as mothers matters more than ever. This isn’t a time to shrink back but to stand boldly as the frontline leadership for your children, shaping the next generation with boldness and faith.
Walking in Triumph – We live FROM victory, not working toward it. Grab these ways to shift from fear and hopelessness to courage, strength, and triumph with God.
God tells us “Do not fear” 365 times in the bible for a good reason. So don't let the enemy have your peace. Remember who you are because of whose you are- You are a chosen leader on divine assignment as the heart of your home.
I hope this episode speaks to you on a personal level and emboldens you to take the steps necessary to own your mantle of leadership as MOM and lead with strength, love, and conviction. The truth of God's impact- nothing is too big or too small for Him to handle. He works all things, even the most tragic, together for the greater good and glory of His kingdom. I don't know about you but that fires me up and I'm so thankful to be a part of His workmanship.

Episode 6: Why You Keep Snapping and How To Show Up Differently

Snapping at your kids over little things doesn’t mean you’re a bad mom, but it sure feels like it in the moment Instead of living with mom guilt let's be brave and explore what it actually means- there's something deeper going on. In this episode, we’ll unpack the hidden triggers, why your brain reacts this way, and how to respond with grace vs guilt.
 
Truth time: We have all had 'bad mommy' moments where something as little as those sock balls on the floor or spilled juice just send us over the edge. Directly following your outrage is the shame spiral shouting: “Look at you, you're out of control. You're ruining them. You'll never get this right.”
 
But here’s what I've learned and want you to know too: The snap isn’t evidence that something's wrong with you. It’s a signal; a clue. Your body is telling you something on a heart level needs your attention.
 
In this episode, I dig into:
Practical things that lead to getting triggered like lack of sleep, hunger, and social isolation.
Deeper emotional and spiritual roots: rejection wounds, disconnection from God, shame & unworthiness.
The brain science behind why your nervous system jumps into fight, flight, or freeze mode (even when the “danger” isn't actually dangerous).
Three powerful steps to break the cycle and respond differently: recognize the warning signs in your body, pause, reset negative thoughts with truth, and reframe the story.
 
I’ll also share how I’ve learned to practice this in my own “triggered times,” like afternoon carpool, and give myself what I need before the blow up—whether it’s a nap, a snack, or good cry out to God.
 
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress, small steps, and giving yourself grace along the way. You can learn to snap less, love deeper, and lead your home with peaceful strength.

Episode 5: The Lie of Failing Motherhood—And the Truth of Your Leadership

Failing? Or fiercely called? If you’ve ever wrestled with mom guilt or felt like you’re not enough, this episode is for you. We’ll unpack the truth about your mantle of leadership as a mom, why the enemy attacks your confidence, and 3 ways to walk boldly in this divine assignment God's entrusted to you.
 
Let’s be real—we’ve all gone to bed replaying the all the things that DIDN'T go well that day: the meltdowns, words blurted out and you wish you could take back, the messes. Then we wake up already anxious, feeling behind, and there it is- that whisper: “You’re failing them.” It happens so quickly but here’s the truth—you aren't meant to stay stuck in performance mode, living off of survival stress.
 
In this episode, I share three powerful shifts that help me fight back when the fear of failure creeps in:
Remember You Were Made for This – God hand-selected you to be the heart of your home.
Jeremiah 1:5 says He knew you before you were even formed—and He chose you for your family.
Rewire the Lies in Real Time – Stop letting shame spiral you out of your true identity. Learn how to take every thought captive and replace it with God’s truth: “I am not failing. I am growing.”
Practice Humility Over Perfection – Your kids don’t need a flawless mom, they need a humble one who can admit you make mistakes, can ask for forgiveness, and model what receiving grace looks like.
 
You're not a failure and you're not alone. Every time you lean into God’s strength instead of your own, you’re making progress to break unhealthy cycles and build a new legacy.

Episode 4: The Silent Struggle Stealing Your Joy

Let’s get honest—have you ever felt invisible? Like you’re in a house full of people, noise, and chaos, yet no one actually notices you? You’re doing everything, giving everything, but deep down you feel overlooked, unappreciated, maybe even forgotten. That’s the silent struggle so many of us battle and, quite frankly, it’s stealing your joy.
 
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what’s really behind that feeling which is, rejection. Not just the surface kind, but a deep-rooted kind that whisper lies like, “You don’t matter. Nobody cares what you have to say. It's like you're invisible.” I share how these lies are powerful and start in childhood, shaping the way we show up today, in motherhood. I talk about the ways this belief cripples our confidence and keep us stuck in cycles of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and burnout.
 
We dive into how rejection shows up in different aspects of life:
Emotionally: irritability, overwhelm, anxiety, depression, low-level sadness
Physically: headaches, brain fog, digestive issues, literal body fatigue
Relationships: pulling away from your spouse or kids, resentment, avoiding vulnerability
 
But here’s the truth I want you to get in your soul: you are NOT invisible. God calls you seen, chosen, and deeply loved. He chose YOU, out of all the people in the world, as a leader with divine authority in your home. That means you no longer have to listen to that whisper trying to keep you stuck, feeling insignificant and playing small.
 
In this episode, I’ll walk you through practical steps to break up with the lies, take every thought captive, and replace those lies with God’s truth. When you start declaring His Word over your life, everything begins to shift.
 
If today’s episode spoke to you, don’t keep it to yourself—share it with another mom who needs to hear she’s not invisible.
