Ever get to the end of the day and realize you don’t remember actually being in it? You were there physically… but your mind was somewhere else.

In this episode, we’re talking about why so many Christian moms are missing out on joy — not because we’re doing something wrong, but because our minds are constantly pulled in a hundred directions.

I’m sharing 3 simple, grace-filled ways to be more present in the moment, including:

• How giving your worry to God actually frees up mental space to experience joy

• Why organization (even if it’s not your strength) can calm your brain

• How doing one thing at a time can become a spiritual practice that brings peace

We’ll look at Scripture, real-life mom moments, and practical shifts you can start using today — not to be more productive, but to be more present.

✨ Presence is where joy lives… and God wants to meet you right here.

This is a special Friday Drop episode I’m calling “ALL THE GOOD STUFF.” 💛

Today I’m sharing straight from the heart—no teaching agenda, no polished plan—just the real stuff God has been doing behind the scenes.

In this episode, I’m talking about:

• Hitting 1,000 podcast downloads (and why that number means more to me than you might think)

• What it’s really been like taking 3 weeks off social media

• My honest confession: I’ve been needing encouragement lately

• How I prayed for encouragement… and how God answered that prayer in three undeniable ways in three days

From a Zoom call that filled my cup, to a quiet listener I didn’t even know existed, to an unexpected invitation to talk about Jesus on another podcast—this episode is all about God’s perfect timing and His kindness when we’re feeling tired, unseen, or unsure if our obedience is making a difference.

I’m also lightly teasing what’s coming next: ✨ A future coaching announcement ✨ A LIVE workshop happening in March ✨ And why my email list will be the first to know all the details

If you’re in a season of doing the work and wondering if it matters—this episode is for you. 💛 This one is truly all the good stuff.

Content Warning / Explicit Episode: This episode includes discussion of childhood abuse and sexual trauma. While details are shared with care and without graphic description, listener discretion is advised.

In this deeply moving and vulnerable conversation, Angie Lagemann shares her story of growing up in a home marked by confusion, abuse, and broken trust—and the long road that led her to true healing.

As a young child, Angie believed that once her stepfather returned from prison, life would finally get better. Instead, things became more painful and unsafe. When her home life continued to unravel, she held onto another hope: if she could find her biological father, surely he would rescue her. But that rescue never came.

What Angie ultimately discovered—through heartbreak, disappointment, and deep spiritual searching—was that no earthly parent could save her the way she needed. It was her Heavenly Father who saw her, protected her, and began the slow, sacred work of healing her heart.

This episode is not easy to listen to—but it is powerful, redemptive, and full of hope. Angie’s testimony is a reminder that God meets us in our darkest places, that trauma does not get the final word, and that healing is possible through Christ.

If you or someone you love has experienced childhood trauma or abuse, this conversation may feel heavy—but you are not alone, and your story is not over.
