Have you ever felt a quiet dissatisfaction in motherhood—even though you deeply love your kids? Like you’re doing all the “right” things, but something still feels off?

In this episode, we’re talking about how using your God-given gifts, passions, and wiring in motherhood can lead to more joy, purpose, and growth—for you and your kids.

I share a personal story about a simple conversation with a friend that helped me realize how many expectations I’d absorbed about what a “good mom” or “good stay-at-home mom” should look like—and how often I was trying to mold myself into something that wasn’t actually me.

Instead of asking, What should I be doing? I began asking a better question: How did God create me—and how can that show up in my motherhood?

In this episode, we explore:

• Why dissatisfaction in motherhood isn’t always a heart issue—it’s often a misalignment issue

• How your gifts didn’t disappear when you became a mom

• Simple questions to help you reconnect with what makes you feel alive

• Practical ways to bring your strengths, interests, and passions into how you spend time with your kids

This isn’t about adding more to your plate. It’s about letting motherhood look a little more like you.

• What do I genuinely enjoy and feel energized by?

• Am I currently incorporating those things into my time with my kids—even in small ways?

• What’s one thing I could try this week that would be life-giving for me and fun for them?

If you’ve ever thought, “I know I need community… but how do I actually build it?”—this episode is for you.

In Part 2 of our conversation on why motherhood feels so hard, we’re getting practical. I’m sharing what I’ve learned from building community later in life—through infertility, postpartum depression, awkward attempts, short-lived friendships, and finally, deep, aligned relationships that truly feel life-giving.

If you’re a Christian mom craving real friendship, prayer, and women to actually do life with, this episode will help you take a simple, doable next step.

• Why community doesn’t usually happen overnight

• How infertility and motherhood revealed my deep need for connection

• The role isolation played in my postpartum experience

• Why praying for community actually matters

• How to put yourself out there (even if you’re introverted)

• Simple ways to take initiative in conversations

• How to keep friendships light, natural, and pressure-free

• Why consistency matters more than personality

• What to do if the community you want doesn’t exist yet

• How God uses the process of building community to shape and grow you

God never designed you to do life or motherhood alone—and He wants to bless you with the community you’re praying for. But building it often requires courage, patience, and one small step at a time.

What’s one step you’ll take this week to build the community you want?

• Reaching out to a friend you already have

• Following up with a mom you’ve met recently

• Putting yourself in a position to meet someone new

Choose one small, simple action—and do it.

Why does motherhood feel so overwhelming—even when you love your kids and are doing everything “right”?

In this episode, we uncover a deeper reason modern motherhood feels heavier than ever. It’s not because you’re failing, broken, or doing something wrong—it’s because motherhood was never meant to be done alone.

We explore how women lived and mothered in biblical times, why community was central to emotional and spiritual health, and how isolation is impacting modern moms’ mental health, nervous systems, and faith. If you’ve felt lonely, burnt out, resentful, or spiritually attacked in motherhood, this episode will bring clarity, relief, and hope.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why motherhood feels harder now than in previous generations

• How women lived and raised children in biblical times

• The role of community in emotional and spiritual resilience

• Why isolation amplifies anxiety and burnout

• How modern motherhood became a solo mission

• Why struggling doesn’t mean you’re failing

• Simple steps you can take to move toward real community

Key takeaway:
You were never meant to mother alone—and many of the things you’re trying to fix internally may actually be healed through connection.

Reflection question:
Where might God be inviting you to stop carrying motherhood alone and take one step toward community?
