Have you ever felt like an imposter who just can’t seem to get it together? Do you struggle with feeling “less than” or wonder why motherhood—the most beautiful calling in the world—sometimes makes you feel like the biggest failure?
If so, you’re not alone, and this podcast is here to help. Here, you’ll find encouragement, Biblical wisdom, and practical tools to help you silence self-doubt and step into your God-given purpose with confidence. My heart is to empower Christian mamas to grow in faith, embrace their unique calling, and replace insecurity with God’s truth. If this resounds with you, then ”Welcome, sis!” because you’re in the right place.
Hey, I’m Kristen—believer, wife, mama, and high school counselor. I know what it’s like to battle low self-esteem, perfectionism, and the feeling of never being enough. But through my own journey, I’ve learned that my worth isn’t defined by what I do—it’s rooted in who I am in Christ. Now, I’m on a mission to help other moms break free from insecurity and walk boldly in the purpose God has for them.
If you’re ready to trade uncertainty for confidence, strengthen your faith, and step fully into who God created you to be, then let’s take that first step together. Pop in your earbuds, take a breath, ignore the mess, and let’s focus on YOU for once!

Ever wonder what it’s like to be coached through the real-life challenges of motherhood? In this episode, I’m sharing snippets from a live coaching session with Bre, a fellow mama navigating the evening overwhelm - think supper routines, managing expectations, and staying grounded when everything feels like too much.
Together, we talk through what’s really going on beneath the surface, find simple shifts she can make, and explore how to move forward with confidence and peace - without adding more to her plate.
If you’re feeling stretched thin, this conversation will remind you that you're not alone - and that there’s always space for grace, support, and a fresh start.

Ever feel guilty for wanting a break? Think self-care is selfish or unspiritual? In this episode, we're flipping that script and talking about why true self-care is actually biblical—and essential for every Christian mama.
From locking yourself in the bathroom for five minutes of peace (we’ve all been there!) to setting aside time with God, today’s conversation will help you release the guilt, embrace rest, and show up as the confident, Christ-centered mom you’re called to be.
We’re diving into:✨ The myth that self-care is selfish✨ How Jesus modeled rest (and didn’t apologize for it)✨ The link between rest and godly confidence✨ Four practical, biblical self-care rhythms you can start this week✨ Why rest is not laziness—but obedience
If you’ve ever felt like you’re running on fumes and wondering how to keep going—this episode is your permission slip to pause.

We’re digging into discipline. But not just any discipline: grace-based, heart-focused, Christ-reflecting discipline that leads to connection instead of control. If you’ve ever struggled with losing your cool, reacting in anger, or wondering if you’re doing more harm than good when correcting your child - this episode is for you.
Together, we’ll explore:
✅ The difference between punishment and discipline✅ Why guilt can be helpful, but shame is harmful✅ How to pause, pray, and proceed with purpose✅ Why yelling triggers survival mode—not learning—in your child’s brain✅ What fight, flight, freeze, and fawn look like in kids✅ How to stay calm and Spirit-led when your emotions are high
You’ll walk away from this episode with biblical encouragement, neuroscience-backed understanding, and practical tools to help you discipline with clarity, not chaos.

Trigger warning: This episode discusses pregnancy loss.
In this deeply personal episode, I’m opening up about my own journey through miscarriage, grief, and the questions no one likes to admit they ask. From the thrill of a positive pregnancy test to the heartbreak of loss — twice — I share how those moments shaped my faith, tested my confidence, and ultimately reminded me of God’s goodness in the middle of heartbreak.
Whether you’re walking through miscarriage, infertility, broken dreams, or any kind of loss, I want you to hear this: your pain is seen, your grief is valid, and your faith — no matter how fragile — is still enough.
Join me as we hold space for grief, wrestle with hard questions, and cling to the promises of Romans 8:28: “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.”
You are not alone. Joy will come again. And even now — God is faithful.

Do you ever catch yourself thinking, “I’m not good enough,” or “I always mess things up”? That’s negative self-talk—and it’s more powerful than we often realize. In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into what negative self-talk really is, why it takes such a toll on our hearts, and how it can subtly shape our identity, confidence, and even our faith.
But here’s the good news: you don’t have to stay stuck in that cycle. You can renew your mind—and one of the most powerful ways to do that is through worship.
We’ll explore:
The spiritual and biological impact of your inner dialogue
3 reasons worship is a powerful tool for transformation
Practical, simple ways to weave worship into your everyday life
Plus, I’ve got a 7-day worship challenge to help you start replacing lies with God’s truth—one thought at a time. Mama, your words matter, especially the ones you speak over yourself. Let’s start choosing worship over worry together.
