In this episode, I am sharing a recent moment of destructive behavior and how I worked through it and recovered in a healthy way.

| 25 Feb 2025 | Finding Joy in the Fire: Trading Burnout for God’s Peace in Motherhood | 00:19:14 | |
Feeling angry or burnt out in your motherhood journey? You’re not alone, Mama. In this episode, we explore how to find real, lasting joy in serving the Lord by loving and serving our families. From shifting our perspective to resting in God’s strength, we’ll explore practical, faith-filled ways to trade exhaustion for His peace. Key Points: The Struggle is Real: Motherhood is hard, but God meets us in the mess (Psalm 127:3, John 16:33). Reframe Your Work: Every act of love for your family is worship to God (Colossians 3:23). Pause for Strength: Take small moments to breathe in God’s truth (Isaiah 40:31). Joy is a Gift: It’s a fruit of the Spirit, grown as we abide in Him (Galatians 5:22-23). Scriptures Referenced (ESV): Psalm 127:3 – “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.” John 16:33 – “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” Colossians 3:23 – “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” Isaiah 40:31 – “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength…” Galatians 5:22-23 – “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace…” Takeaways: Turn your daily tasks into acts of worship to the Lord as you love and serve the Lord through loving and serving your family. You don’t have to fix your feelings alone—run to God and let His joy be your strength right in the middle of the fire. Natalie invites you to listen in and stay for this journey.

If you’re a Christian mom feeling trapped in an anxiety rut, Natalie understands—daily stress from kids, chores, and constant demands can wear you down. Add toxic family—like guilt trips or endless drama—and it’s no wonder you’re struggling. In this episode, Natalie walks with you through the heaviness, offering gentle encouragement, faith-rooted wisdom, and practical steps to set boundaries God’s way. There’s a way out, and you don’t have to face it alone. Key Points: The Anxiety Rut: Daily stress (kids, chores, chaos) + toxic family (guilt trips, drama) = overwhelm that traps you. God’s Promise: His peace and strength can lift you out (Philippians 4:6-7). Three Steps to Freedom: Simplify the Stress – Let go of one thing (like a big meal for paper plates) to lighten the load. Scriptures Referenced (ESV): Psalm 55:22 – “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you…” Takeaways: You’re stronger than the rut—setting one small boundary today, with God’s help, can start your climb to peace.
