In this special affirmation episode of Building Yourself with Grace, we’re focusing on building confidence and self-worth—not only in ourselves as moms, but also in our children.

These affirmations are inspired by Episode 19, my conversation with Nellie Harden, where we talked about what true worth really is, how confidence is formed, and how we as mothers play a powerful role in shaping our children’s emotional and spiritual foundation.

If you’ve ever questioned your own worth, worried about how you’re showing up for your kids, or wondered how to help them feel seen, loved, and confident in who they are, this episode is for you.

These affirmations are designed to help you:

• strengthen your own sense of worth as a daughter of God

• build confidence rooted in Christ, not performance

• model healthy self-worth for your children

• and create an environment where both you and your kids can grow with grace

You can listen quietly, repeat these affirmations out loud, or let them become a starting point for the words you speak over yourself and your family each day.

Because when we build confidence and worth in ourselves—with Christ at the center—we are better equipped to help our children do the same. 🌿

Have you ever wondered how to build real confidence, not just in yourself, but in your children too?

In this episode of Building Yourself with Grace, I sit down with Nellie Harden to talk about self-worth, confidence, and how we can intentionally help our children develop emotional strength and security.

We explore how confidence is formed early, how our own beliefs about ourselves shape our parenting, and how involving Christ in the process of building worth changes everything. Nellie also introduces the Five Pillars of Worth and how they play a powerful role in helping children feel emotionally supported, capable, and confident.

This conversation is for any mama who wants to raise confident children, while also learning how to extend that same grace and confidence to herself.

This special affirmation episode is inspired by today’s main episode and is meant to be a gentle pause as you step into a new year.

These affirmations are here to help you release the pressure of doing everything on your own and remind you of a simple truth: Christ belongs in your equation. You don’t have to strive for perfection, earn your worth, or carry your burdens alone.

Whether you’re feeling hopeful, overwhelmed, or somewhere in between, these short, Christ-centered affirmations are designed to help you reset your heart, refocus your mind, and begin the year rooted in grace instead of performance.

You can listen while resting, driving, or taking a quiet moment to yourself. Repeat them out loud, in your heart, or simply let the truth wash over you — exactly where you are.

As a new year approaches, it can stir up so many emotions — hope, excitement, fear, pressure, and even discouragement. In this episode, I share a powerful reminder I’ve been returning to again and again: you were never meant to do life on your own.

We talk about the quiet lie so many of us fall into — the belief that if we just do more, try harder, or become better, then we’ll finally feel worthy, peaceful, or enough. I share a lesson that deeply changed my perspective on perfectionism and how easily we remove Christ from our “equations” for happiness, success, and peace.

Together, we’ll explore what happens when we stop striving alone and instead choose a new equation for the year ahead — one that includes Christ fully and honestly.

This episode is for the mama who feels tired of chasing perfection, weary from doing it all, and ready to step into the new year with grace, faith, and a Savior who wants to walk beside her every step of the way.

In the middle of the Christmas busyness, expectations, and holiday noise, this episode is an invitation to slow down and remember the true reason for the season — Jesus Christ.

These affirmations are inspired by meaningful Christmas traditions and symbols that point us back to Christ, reminding us that even simple moments can be sacred. Together, we reflect on peace, generosity, kindness, and Christlike love — the heart of Christmas.

This episode is meant to be a gentle pause. A moment to breathe. A soft place to land when the season feels full.

You can repeat these affirmations out loud, hold them quietly in your heart, or simply listen and let them settle as a prayer.

May this time help you feel grounded, present, and reminded that Christ’s light is already with you — in your home, your motherhood, and your heart.

Merry Christmas, Mama. 🎄🤍

Christmas can feel busy, overwhelming, and full of mixed messages — especially as Christian moms trying to keep Christ at the center of our homes.

In this special Christmas episode of Building Yourself with Grace, I share why I still believe in Santa Claus — not as a distraction from Jesus Christ, but as a beautiful symbol that points our hearts back to Him.

You’ll hear a heartfelt reading from the beloved children’s book I Believe in Santa Claus by Diane G. Adamson, a reflection on the deeper meaning behind common Christmas symbols, and a poem I wrote called The Reason for the Season.

Together, we’ll talk about how traditions like Santa, wreaths, candles, gifts, and even candy canes can become intentional tools to teach our children about:

• Christlike love

• Giving and generosity

• The Light of the World

• Eternal life and hope

• Peace in the middle of the holiday rush

This episode is an invitation to slow down, shift perspective, and rediscover how Christmas traditions — when taught with intention — can lead our families closer to Christ, not further away.

Whether you’re feeling joyful, stretched thin, or somewhere in between, this message is a reminder that Jesus Christ is the reason for the season, and His light can be found in the small, meaningful moments we create at home. 🎄✨

If you are walking through postpartum depression, healing after miscarriage, or carrying quiet grief that feels too heavy to name, this affirmation episode is for you.

These affirmations are inspired by Episode 16, my deeply moving conversation with Bridget McCann, where she shares her journey through postpartum depression, anxiety, and miscarriage — and how her faith in Christ carried her when she felt like she had reached her breaking point.

In this gentle affirmation episode, you’ll be reminded that:

• You are not broken
• You are not forgotten
• You are not alone

These affirmations are meant to be a soft place to land — words of truth you can return to when your strength feels thin and your heart feels tired. They are rooted in the hope that Christ has descended below all things, and because of Him, you can never fall beyond His reach.

You can listen while resting, breathing, or simply being still. Say the affirmations out loud, in your heart, or let them wash over you — exactly where you are today.

Healing doesn’t have to be rushed. Grace meets you here.

In this deeply honest and hope-filled episode, I sit down with my dear friend Bridget to talk about her journey through postpartum depression, anxiety, and miscarriage — and how her faith in Christ carried her through some of the darkest seasons of her life.

Bridget shares what it felt like to walk through overwhelming emotional struggles, moments of hopelessness, and the fear of hitting rock bottom — only to discover that Christ is the rock beneath our feet, even when we feel like we’re falling.

Together, we talk about:

• What postpartum depression and anxiety can really feel like for Christian moms

• Navigating miscarriage and grief while trying to keep going

• Why struggling does not mean you are broken or failing

• How Christ descends below all things so He can lift us up

• Finding hope, healing, and grace in seasons when faith feels fragile

This conversation is for any mom who has felt overwhelmed, lost, or afraid that she’s not doing enough — or that she’s somehow alone in her pain. Bridget’s story is a reminder that even when heaven feels quiet, God is still near, and we are never falling alone.

If you are walking through postpartum mental health challenges, grief after miscarriage, or a season of deep emotional struggle, this episode offers compassion, understanding, and a gentle reminder that healing is possible — one step, one prayer, one breath at a time.
