Ep 08 // Finding Strength When Anxiety Is High

Anxiety is very real - as well as living with feelings of worry, fear, and panic. The journey of living and managing anxiety is personal; no one is the same. Many factors, including mental, physical, emotional, genetic, and others, can make these giants feel like bigger obstacles to overcome on certain days…but with all that, it’s also crucial to believe that there is hope.
Today is all about finding that hope. I’m not here today pretending to diagnose or prescribe anything to supply a quick fix or cure for what has been for a lot of us, years of battling and managing anxiety. But what I do aim to do is offer encouragement and hope to anyone searching for a breakthrough.
When anxiety is at its loudest….we tend to fixate on how big it is and lose sight of how big our God is. Anxiety is one of the easiest vehicles the devil can use in our lives, to take us all further from God. Anxiety may be a giant obstacle we have to work through, but our living God is bigger. In life, we all so easily get distracted and forget how powerful God is. We need to pause and reflect on whatever we need to do, to move Jesus front and center. To dig into God’s word, rest in His peace that surpasses all understanding and believe in the promises that will protect us from what the devil wants us to believe as a way to experience more peace. 
 
In the episode I have referenced a handful of scriptures that bring me peace when anxiety comes knocking. You can click the link below to get the printable with the scriptures as well as additional ones that I love.

Ep 07 // 5 Practical Ways to Help Busy Moms Slow Down

Today's world has us believing that fast is good and slow is bad and that taking advantage of all the opportunities presented is the way to experience the best that is out there for us. But, as many of us are figuring out, that in itself only promises burnout and leaves us feeling overwhelmed. 
 
In today's episode, we are talking about 5 practical ways to help busy Moms slow down so we can savor and deepen the appreciation for the things we do have in our lives and awaken the potential for more joy. With the ever-increasing busy whirlwind that we all so easily find ourselves in, it is essential to be intentional and put more time and energy toward the things that ultimately matter that make up the best parts of our lives.  Simplicity and slowing down is a good thing and we all need more of it. We need to restore more joy back into our lives by shifting how we position ourselves within our days.

Ep 06 // Maximizing Summertime with Kids While Working

It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that we need to provide our families with extravagant vacations, or even that we need to do major things with them or we are somehow not providing a good enough childhood. But in reality, it’s the simple moments of our lives that hold the greatest value and become the most cherished. 
 
Summertime tends to yield longer days and we have the opportunity to capitalize on the time we have with our kids now. These moments and the time we have with our kids is precious, and by taking time to invest in them today, we can create lifelong memories and honor the life and experiences God is blessing us with by spending intentional time with them. 
 
In episode 6, I am sharing a few simple, and easy ideas that you can do with your kids to help maximize the time you have with your family over summer. I urge you to take a few minutes and reflect on times in your day that you can be more mindful in the moment and have shared experiences with your kids so you can build up you and your kid’s bank of family memories.

Ep 05 // 5 Easy Ways to Connect With Your Kids When Life Is Busy

As working Moms, life is and will always be “busy”. But it's important to be intentional and carve out time to connect with our kids despite the busyness. Just as it is crucial for us to have a sense of connection and a supportive community to rely on for ourselves, it is equally vital for our children to have that foundational bond and safety net as well. And as their Moms, we get to hold the privilege and responsibility of cultivating that environment for them.
 
We all have kids, with their own schedules and commitments - and the list of things on the schedule continues to grow as they age. We can’t wait until we are less busy to build quality time with our kids because in all sincerity, that time will most likely never come. There will always be things battling for our attention no matter what season we are in. 
 
So how exactly do we go about building a deeper connection with our kids? How do we diligently follow this call of intentional motherhood when there are so many other things that we feel or think need our attention first? I have 5 things I’m going to remind us and challenge us to do over the next couple days to help us.

EP 02 // Our Divine Calling In Motherhood

Today, we are talking about our call and mission in motherhood, God’s promises to us and how He has equipped each and every one of us to instruct and train our children in the way they should go despite all the responsibilities we have as busy working moms.

We have a big calling and a lot of responsibilities as working Moms. Every day brings on it’s own set of challenges and demands. But, remember you are not alone. God sees you and promises to be with you and you have community here. He created you specifically for each of your children. Each day, we get the opportunity to partner with God, and shape the history of the next generation.  
Listen in as I give encouragement and help you reflect on priorities and your call in motherhood despite how busy we all are.

EP 01 // Welcome to the Faith Led Working Moms Podcast

Welcome to the Community!! I feel incredibly humbled and excited that our paths have crossed and I can’t wait to grow this community and get to know you personally. 
I wanted to take a few minutes to introduce myself and talk with you briefly about the vision for this podcast.
I'm Lindsay: I live in Oregon with my husband, and 3 kids who are currently 15, 12, and 9. I am a Christian and have been blessed to be able to grow up in the church family since birth. I also grew up with both my parents working passionately, and diligently in education. They gave me a framework and example for what it was like to have a career, prioritize a personal relationship with the Lord, be active in your church, and be in a family who loves and supports one another.
This podcast evolved to be able to support the working mom community. The purpose of this podcast is to offer encouragement, practical tools, and resources to help us align our lives with God's word and restore and hold us accountable to our true priorities. With all the distraction in this world and the expected, hurried pace…I’m convinced, life will pass us by if we are not intentional.
Romans 12:2 says, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed  by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will.” 
When we intentionally renew our minds and root ourselves in God's promises, we can actively live in the best that He has for us and I’m so honored to be able to walk alongside you in this journey.

Trailer // Faith Led Working Moms Podcast

Are you a busy working Mom overwhelmed with everything you have to do? Are you exhausted from your growing list of to items? Do you desire to show up abundantly in all areas of your life, but are spread too thin, leaving you feeling weary and guilty that you didn't do enough?
If this is you, Friend, then I am so excited to welcome you! I'm Lindsay, a Jesus-loving, anxious-prone wife and Mom to 3 kids. As a working Mom myself, I know first hand how stressful it can be to have the desire to help financially for your family, but also show up as a Mom, fully engaged and present for the people who are most important to you.
I was drowning in all the things, overcome with anxiety and blindly believing the enemy's lies that I wasn't doing enough. Which only left me spiraling even deeper into a more toxic cycle that felt impossible to escape. It wasn't until I prioritized my relationship with the Lord through rooting myself in scripture and prayer that I began to see the light.
I invite you to join me weekly for a dose of encouragement, practical tools, tips, and resources to help all of us align ourselves with scripture and restore our priorities. I truly believe that when we are intentional about renewing our minds and rooting ourselves in God's promises, we get to actively live in the best that God has for us. 
 
I’m so excited to be able to have this platform and  build community and connection with you.
Come as you are and gift yourself a few minutes each week as we take this journey together and live abundantly in all the areas in our lives!
