The BAD Mom Show

Episode 3: I Turned 45 And I Didn’t Miss My Moment

Today I’m sharing a really personal story—one that started when I was in a mastermind about 5 years ago and my mentor asked, “Do you really want to wake up one day and be 45, wishing you’d gone for it?” Those words hit me like a bomb and in that moment I felt the anxiety of missing my moment, needing to hurry up, to catch up and prove I was somebody significant too. I attached my worth to 'success' and started chasing a dream that wasn't even mine (but everyone else was doing it), launching a business, starting a group; things that sounded great in theory but weren't based in passion. I hustled hard to prove I was good, and once I reached that level, or got the clients, then I'd...I'd what? Arrive? Fulfill my destiny?
 
But here’s the kicker: I was so driven by the fear of 'missing my moment' and running out of time that I lost perspective on what I truly valued. I worked incessantly and bore little fruit. I was stressed out, anxious, and discouraged but kept going despite being exhausted. The truth is I WAS missing it- my true calling as a mom. This realization led me to an even harder truth which was, chasing purpose felt easier than facing the lies I believed about myself as a mom.
 
In this episode, I get real about:
The pressure to prove I was valuable and had a purpose (and how it left me burned out).
The moment I realized I was literally watching my life pass me by through glass doors.
How God lovingly pruned away the hustle and realigned my priorities.
Why motherhood isn’t robbing you of purpose—it’s refining you for it.
 
Turning 45 showed me I hadn’t missed my moment at all. Instead, God was inviting me into new levels of clarity about my true calling, His purpose for past pain, and how significant my leadership as moms is. I get to set the tone as the heart of my home. And guess what? He wants to do the same for you.
 
You are not too late. You’re not too far gone. You're not missing your moment—you are living it.

Episode 2: Why You’re B.A.D. in All the Right Ways

When you hear the phrase “bad mom,” what comes up for you? Shame? Fear? That moment you wish you could take back? I get it. I used to run as far away from that label as possible too; push it aside, stay busy because deep down-- I believed it was true.
 
But God showed me something powerful: the very thing I was avoiding was exactly where He was waiting. He wanted to put his fingerprint on the things I thought I could bury deep and keep to myself: the thoughts and memories on replay fueling the shameful feeling of being bad. But with His help, the way only He can give it, I began to see a different truth and stopped running.
That’s why around here, B.A.D. doesn’t mean broken. It means:
B – Blessed: You are not cursed, flawed, or disqualified. You are chosen, forgiven, and set apart.
A – Already Approved of: You don’t have to hustle or prove your worth. God calls you His beloved, not because of what you do, but because of who you are.
D – Divinely Designed: Every fiery, sensitive, or “too much” part of you was crafted on purpose for a great purpose. You were made for this mantle of motherhood.
In this episode, I share my own story of running from shame, performing for worth, and the moment God whispered: “I chose you to be the heart of your home.” If your heart has been broken or weighed down by lies, He wants to heal it—because your heart matters.
You are not a mistake. You are not failing. You are a B.A.D. Mom—Blessed, Already Approved, and Divinely Designed.
 
🔥 Your Next Step:
Write down: “I’m a B.A.D. Mom—Blessed, Already Approved of, and Divinely Designed” on a sticky note where you’ll see it daily.
Say it out loud atleast once a day (especially when doubt tries to creep in)!

Episode 1: What If I’m The Problem?

Have you ever asked yourself, “Am I the problem?”
Maybe after a meltdown with your kids… or in the quiet where shame screams loudest. I’ve been there too—and that question haunted me.
 
In this first episode of The BAD Mom Show, I’m getting real about the moments that made me feel like I was failing at the very thing I wanted most: to be a really good mom. I share how I lived under the weight of shame, perfectionism, and the pressure to prove I was “good enough.”
 
This isn’t a self-help show. It’s not about doing more.
It’s about healing.
It’s about the raw truth.
It’s about letting God into the dark places we’ve tried to hide, so He can help us rewrite the story.
I share:
How I was labeled “the bad one” early on—and believed it
The trap of perfection and performance in motherhood
The power of exposing the lies we’ve partnered with
Why you are NOT broken—you are in process, and you are NOT alone
 
If you’ve ever felt like you're too much, too fiery, or too far gone—I want you to know: you're exactly who God chose, on purpose, for your family.
It’s time to stop hiding and start healing.
Let’s do this together.

I’ve been there. In fact, I’m still there some days. But here's the truth: you are not alone, and you are not broken. You're breaking free. This show is your space get real about your deeper story, stop hiding behind busyness, and bring your silent struggles into the light where healing begins.
 
In this pilot episode, I’m flipping the script on shame and speaking directly to the woman who’s been stuck in survival mode, tired of second-guessing herself, and wondering if anyone else gets it. I get it. I’ve cried those silent tears, beaten myself up with lies, and labeled myself a bad mom. But no more.
 
Here’s what I want you to know:
