Episode 17, Part 2 - The Reformation of Family with Jenny Donnelly – The Power of a Kingdom Family & the Power of your True Identity

Okay friend… get ready, because Part 2 of my conversation with the one & only Jenny Donnelly goes even DEEPER into family and how YOU- as a mom- carry such a powerful authority in your home when you operate from your true identity.
 
In this episode, Jenny and I unpack four signs you're out of ALIGNMENT with your true identity: self-protection, defensiveness, isolation, and separation. She explains how each of these detaches you from your divine authority as you operate in your own power vs the supernatural power of our super-abundant, miracle-working God. We talk about fear, fatigue, and survival mode- how they shape our reactions vs responding in love and how to get back into alignment with the Holy Spirit.
 
Wait until you hear our chat about Kingdom Family vs. American Family. WOW — this part will really open your eyes! Jenny shares a prophetic picture she saw of the cross and how the enemy's been working overtime to disconnect us from each other. We thrive in community because we were created for connection not isolation. When the family is restored the kingdom way, it's an unshakeable force.
 
And then… prayer! My goodness. Jenny speaks truth about how your voice, declaring bold prayers, is one of the most powerful forces in your home. She shares how to pray for your kids from their TRUE identity — not from the 'difficult' kid in front of you but the person God made them. This is one to play on repeat! Her testimony of praying for her daughter and watching her become who God revealed her to be, who Jenny began praying for years before, is so inspiring. You have the ability to pray like that for your family, too.
 
This episode is a DON'T MISS and a TAG TO REPLAY LATER and of course, share! This is a prophetic message to you as we prepare for a new year. How do you plan to move forward in it?

Episode 16, Part 1: The Reformation of Family with Jenny Donnelly — Activating Your Potent Power as a Mom and What Stops You

In today’s episode, I sit down with a very special friend and guest, Jenny Donnelly. She has been a powerful mentor and close friend to me over the past 6 years and leads with such fiery faith, you can't help but lean into what she has to share.
 
Jenny and her ministry's Her Voice movement goes straight to the heart of what every woman needs to hear: Your voice carries potent, God-given power, and something's tried to shut it down.
 
Jenny and I discuss why the enemy targets mothers and how he tries to keep you stuck in old negative beliefs. She shares her own personal testimony of being broken down and how God used that dark season to fuel healing her heart and the hearts of women everywhere. God is calling us into the reformation of family because nothing is more powerful.
 
We unpack how anger, anxiety, shame, and overwhelm are often symptoms of deeper spiritual battles and how you can move from survival mode to Spirit-led leadership. Jenny shares powerful insight about identity, spiritual authority, and why mothers are uniquely equipped to shift the atmosphere of their home. We dig into the lies that stop you from walking in your calling, the spiritual opposition that rises when you start stepping into purpose, and the importance of supernatural peace and emotional regulation in motherhood.
 
If you’re longing for breakthrough, clarity, or strength in this season — this conversation is for you! God has appointed you to lead with truth, boldness and peaceful strength.

Episode 15: The Truth About Imposter Syndrome! How To Show Up In It vs Shrink Back with Melissa Hughes

Ever felt like you’re a total FRAUD? Like any minute someone's going to figure out just how unqualified or imperfect you are? SAME.
 
In this episode of The BAD Mom Show, I sit down with my powerhouse friend Melissa Hughes — TikTok influencer, international speaker, best-selling author, and a real-talker. We unpack the truth about imposter syndrome, how it sneaks into motherhood, career and calling, and how to handle the moments when your mind says 'you’re not enough, you don't have what it takes, just quit before they find out.'
 
Melissa shares her own story of feeling unqualified as a new mom and watching God take her valley season into a viral moment on TikTok that included 22 million views and a spot on the Kelly Clarkson show! Overnight she had a platform and felt very much an imposter in this new arena- coming from a daycare center. She shares how God used that moment to call her into deeper dependency on Him because afterall- if we could reach our impossible dreams on our own, we wouldn't need faith much, would we? God always calls us to things we’re not qualified for - that's the point! But when we take steps of faith with Him, He continues to qualify us through our action.
 
We talk about the difference between striving and stepping out in faith, what it means to let God refine your heart in the hidden seasons, and how surrender always precedes success.
 
As Melissa says in the episode, 'the antidote to imposter syndrome is authenticity.' When you stop pretending and show up as your true self, that’s when God moves. This episode is PACKED with nuggets you'll want to hold onto so get cozy and be ready to embrace the discomfort of imposter syndrome! It's a sign you're on the right path.

Episode 14: The Truth Hiding Behind Anger (Mom Anger Series Part 2)

Let’s be honest — mom anger is something so many of us battle, but few want to admit out loud. If you’ve ever found yourself snapping over something small and wondering, “Why am I like this?” — this one’s for you.
In this second part of the Mom Anger Series, I unpack the truth hiding behind your anger and the fears that quietly drive your reactions. Here’s the good news: anger isn’t the enemy — it’s information. It’s your heart saying, “Something deeper needs healing.”
 
We’ll explore the spiritual and emotional roots of mom anger, including:
🔥 The fear of losing control and how it keeps you striving to hold everything together.
💔 The fear of rejection and why you feel unseen, even by the people you love most.
😔 The fear of not being enough — and how this lie fuels guilt, shame, and exhaustion.
 
You’ll learn how to pause, reflect, and let God rewire those old reactions with truth. See, faith and emotional healingare integral parts of the process. Motherhood isn’t about perfection but about walking with God through our mess and humbly allowing Him to show us where we need to keep healing.
You’re not a bad mom. You’re learning something new and that takes time so don't give up. Give yourself grace. Be curious vs judgmental and know you ARE growing and healing.
 
✨ If today’s episode spoke to you, or you know a mom who struggles with anger and feels too ashamed to admit it, share this series with her! It’s in our vulnerability and honesty that we grow and help set others free.
 
And don’t forget to follow The BAD Mom Show so you don’t miss Part 3—where we’ll talk about what happens when anger stays in your body and the toll it takes physically, mentally, and in relationships.

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.
