*Creating Balance *Biblical Mindset *Intentional Living * Time Management *Priorities *Overwhelm & Anxiety Management Are you a busy, working Mom, overwhelmed by all the hats you have to wear? Are you exhausted from juggling your ever-growing list of commitments and to-dos? Do you desire to show up abundantly in all the 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. As a working Mom myself, I know firsthand how stressful it can be to have the desire to financially help 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. When I gave myself space to rest in God’s presence and became conscious of what my foundational priorities were, my life began to change, and I experienced freedom. And I am so excited to share that freedom and peace with you! So, 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. So, gift yourself the next few minutes with a cozy blanket and warm drink, and come as you are. You are welcome here Friend and I can’t wait to share this time with you.

In today's episode, we're tackling a topic that is incredibly relevant to all working moms: how to confidently prioritize our many responsibilities. With numerous commitments and tasks pulling us in different directions, it can be challenging to determine what truly deserves our focus. Yet, God has provided us with wisdom and guidance through His Word, and today, I’m sharing practical tips to help you prioritize with confidence.
We all have those moments where our to-do lists seem never-ending, and it feels like everything is both important and urgent. This overwhelming pressure can lead to stress and guilt when we can't accomplish everything. But as Christians, we have a unique advantage—we can turn to God for guidance. Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding. By taking our concerns to God in prayer, we open ourselves up to His wisdom and direction. Prayer isn't just about asking for things; it's about transforming our hearts and aligning our actions with His will.
Reflecting on scripture, such as Matthew 6:33, which reminds us to seek first His kingdom, helps us focus on what truly matters. When we align our priorities with God’s kingdom, everything else falls into place. This process requires patience and faith, but trust that He will provide the clarity and direction you need.
Understanding our core values and goals is another crucial step in setting priorities. Taking the time to reflect on what truly matters to you and writing down your core values and goals can be incredibly enlightening. When new opportunities or demands arise, evaluating them against these values and goals can help you filter out distractions and focus on what’s truly important. For example, if one of your core values is spending quality time with your family, prioritize activities that strengthen those bonds. If growing in your faith is a goal, make time for Bible study, prayer, and fellowship with other believers.
One of the biggest challenges we face as working moms is the pressure to say yes to everything. However, learning to say no with grace is essential for maintaining balance and focusing on what truly matters. It's okay to say no, and in fact, it's necessary. By saying no to things that don't align with your priorities, you create space for the things that do. Remember, Ephesians 5:15-16 reminds us to be wise and make the most of every opportunity. Graciously declining requests that don't fit with your core values and goals is a powerful way to protect your time and energy.
To hear more about these tips and how to implement them in your daily life, make sure to listen to the full episode. I hope these insights will encourage and support you as you seek to balance faith, family, and work. God has a plan for you, and by seeking His guidance and prioritizing according to His will, you can navigate your responsibilities with confidence and peace. Until next time, keep seeking God, loving your family, and living life to the fullest. God bless, and I'll see you in the next episode!

In today’s episode, we dive into a topic that resonates deeply with many of us: balancing work-from-home responsibilities while nurturing our families and growing in our faith. As Christian working moms, we often find ourselves pulled in multiple directions, striving to excel in our careers, be present for our families, and deepen our spiritual journey. This balancing act can sometimes lead to feelings of overwhelm and frustration.
Imagine this: You’ve just finished a long work meeting, and as you step out of your home office, you’re immediately met with a barrage of family needs. The kids need help with their homework, dinner needs to be prepared, and there’s a lingering feeling that you haven’t spent enough time in prayer today. It’s a familiar scenario for many of us. We wear so many hats and juggle countless responsibilities, often feeling like we’re falling short in one area or another.
But what if I told you that there’s a way to find a balance that honors God and allows you to thrive in all these areas? Today we are doing just that!
I'm sharing 3 practical ways to manage this delicate balance. It’s not about achieving perfection but about finding a rhythm that works for you and your family.
Today is not about a blueprint for perfection, but as a source of encouragement and practical wisdom. Balancing work and home life as a Christian mom is challenging, but it’s possible to find a rhythm that honors God and serves your family well.
Obtaining balance is an ever-evolving process. Be patient with yourself, celebrate small victories, and learn from setbacks. Know that God is with you every step of the way, and don’t hesitate to reach out for support when you need it. Join our community, connect with me, and let’s journey together towards a grace-filled balance.
Meet us over in the Facebook community, email, and Instagram. I would love to connect with you personally and hear your stories.
