The new year often brings fresh expectations, but for working moms it can also feel emotionally heavy. In this blog, I share faith-based ways to create emotional balance—through prayer, pause, God’s Word, and healthy boundaries—so you can guard your peace, protect your mental health, and move into the new year with grace and intention.

As working moms, it’s easy to fall into the rhythm of go, go, go—juggling careers, kids, schedules, church, and everything in between. Over time, productivity can quietly become tied to our sense of worth. But when exhaustion sets in and burnout creeps in, we begin to question ourselves as moms and women. This post is a gentle reminder that your identity isn’t found in how much you do, but in who you are. Together, we’ll explore how to manage productivity with wisdom, protect your mental health, and walk confidently in your God-given identity—without burning out.

This reflection encourages moms to give themselves grace, trust God in the process, and remember that discomfort doesn’t mean failure—it often means growth.

For working moms, goal setting can quickly become pressure, guilt, and burnout—especially at the start of a new year.

Prepping for the new year isn’t about pressure—it’s about protection. For working moms, intentional planning can prevent burnout, reduce overwhelm, and create space for rest, faith, and purpose.

Raising a teenager—especially a teen girl—can feel overwhelming, emotional, and spiritually stretching. In this blog, I share how one powerful sentence shifted the way I pray as a mom and helped me see my teen through Christlike eyes. When we realize God is shaping us in the process of parenting, the overwhelm becomes an invitation to deeper relationship with Him. If you’re a Christian mom navigating stress, mom-guilt, or the ups and downs of raising teens, this message will encourage your heart and renew your confidence.

October was a month of mixed emotions, lessons, and God’s gentle reminders. I recently saw a video by Tabitha Brown where she recalled the theme song from the old show The Facts of Life: “You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both, and there you have the facts of life.” And that’s exactly what this October has been for me — a blend of good, bad, and everything in between.

Motherhood is beautiful, but it can also feel heavy—so heavy that some moms quietly wonder, “Is it normal to not want to be a mom anymore?” The truth is, you’re not a bad mom for feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or emotionally drained. In this honest and grace-filled blog, I walk you through why these thoughts happen, what they mean, and how God meets you right in the middle of your burnout. If you’re feeling lost, weary, or questioning your capacity, this message will remind you that you’re still called, still loved, and still the perfect mom for your children.

As moms, we carry so much on our shoulders. We want the best for our children and naturally step into the role of nurturer—providing food, clothing, love, guidance, and as much quality time as possible. We want to give them the best that we can. And yet, in the middle of doing our best, we sometimes fall short.

As parents, we know one thing for sure: this parenting thing does not come with a handbook. Sure, there are countless books, blogs, and theories about how to raise children—gentle parenting, authoritative parenting, attachment parenting, and everything in between. But when it comes down to it, most of us are just trying to figure it out as we go.

One of the things I often remind my clients—especially the working moms I serve—is that growth doesn’t mean you’ll never feel overwhelmed again. It doesn’t mean you’ll never feel angry, discouraged, or disappointed. And it certainly doesn’t mean you have to handle everything with a smile and scripture ready on cue.

Motherhood is full of seasons—some sweet, some stretching, and some that feel like they might never end. From diaper blowouts to late-night homework help and transitioning to empty nest, each stage comes with its challenges and lessons. The beauty is, these seasons are temporary, but the wisdom we gain from them lasts a lifetime. As our children grow more independent, we’re invited to grow, too—learning to release old rhythms, embrace new freedoms, and rediscover the dreams God placed in our hearts.

I used to believe that having Jesus meant I shouldn’t struggle with my mental health. I thought that if I just prayed harder or had more faith, the anxiety or heaviness would disappear. But now I know better. Faith and therapy are not in competition—they can work beautifully together. God created our minds, our emotions, and also gave us the wisdom of others to help us heal. And sometimes, healing begins when we finally say, ‘I need help.

As a working mom, balance doesn’t mean giving everything and everyone an equal share of your time—it means learning how to stand strong and prioritize. Boundaries aren’t about shutting people out—they’re about protecting your peace. In this blog, I share what I’ve learned as a Christian therapist and mom about how to create margin, prevent burnout, and give yourself permission to pause. Because your worth isn’t in your work—and your “no” can be just as holy as your “yes.”
