There are seasons in motherhood that aren’t just hard — they’re heavy.

If you’re carrying something at home that’s consuming your heart, your emotional energy, and your prayers, but you’re still expected to show up at work, keep things moving, and act like everything is fine, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I speak directly to working Christian moms who are navigating heavy family seasons while continuing to show up in their professional and everyday responsibilities. You’ll hear encouragement, biblical truth, and three gentle ways to support yourself when life feels overwhelming and the weight you’re carrying feels invisible.

This is not an episode about trying harder or pushing through. It’s about recognizing when you’re carrying too much and learning how to receive support — spiritually, emotionally, and practically — in a season that requires more from you than you expected.

• The difference between a hard day or week and a truly heavy season

• Why survival mode in a heavy season is not failure — it’s faithfulness

• A personal story about redefining “doing your best” when capacity changes

• Three practical ways to navigate a heavy season, including:

  • Permission to lower the bar without guilt

  • When and how to communicate your needs at work

  • Why allowing others to help is part of God’s design, not a weakness

• Encouragement for staying connected to God when your spiritual rhythms feel disrupted

• Hope and reassurance that God sees you and is present in the middle of your heaviness

If you’re showing up tired, stretched, and emotionally spent, you are not falling behind or failing God. You are faithfully walking through a season that requires grace, support, and gentleness — not more effort.

God is near to you in this season. He hears the quiet prayers, sees the unseen weight, and is carrying you even when you feel worn down.

If you’re realizing that what you need right now isn’t more effort, but better support, Lindsay’s Faithfully Balanced course was created for seasons exactly like this. It’s designed to help working Christian moms clarify priorities, release unrealistic expectations, and create rhythms that support both faith and family — especially when life feels heavy.

When Hustle Culture Steals Your Peace and Leaves You Exhausted—and What You Actually Need Instead

If you’re a working Christian mom who ended the holidays feeling more exhausted than refreshed, you’re not alone. As routines return and responsibilities pile back on, many moms find themselves carrying guilt for resting at all—wondering why peace feels so far away.

In this episode, we talk honestly about how hustle culture quietly steals our peace and convinces us that our worth is tied to productivity. We unpack why exhaustion isn’t a sign you need to push harder, but often a signal that your soul is longing for rest and trust in God.

Using Exodus 14:14—“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still”—we explore how biblical stillness is not passivity, laziness, or giving up. It’s surrender. It’s choosing to stop striving, stop proving, and allow God to fight battles we were never meant to carry.

You’ll hear encouragement for the working mom who feels behind, overwhelmed, and unsure if she’s doing enough—and a reminder that the peace of Jesus isn’t something you earn through perfect performance. It’s a gift freely offered, even in seasons of exhaustion, uncertainty, and unmet expectations.

This episode will help you:

• Identify how hustle culture fuels exhaustion and mom guilt

• Release the belief that your value is tied to productivity

• Understand what biblical rest and stillness really mean

• Shift from striving to trusting God with your time, work, and family

• Embrace peace that doesn’t depend on having it all together

If you’re longing for more peace and less pressure—especially as you balance faith, family, and work—this conversation will gently point you back to the rest Jesus offers.

Questions to consider as you work through your week:

• Where am I hustling when God is inviting me to rest?
• Where am I carrying guilt that He's already forgiven?
• Where can I pause today and remember I am loved, not for what I do, but for who I am in Him?

Feeling like you're already falling behind on your New Year goals? You're not alone—and you're not failing. In this episode, we're talking about what faithful progress actually looks like when you're juggling work deadlines, bedtime routines, and trying to stay close to Jesus in the middle of it all.

If you started January with good intentions but you're already wondering if you're doing enough, this conversation is for you. I'm breaking down the lie we believe about progress, what the Bible actually teaches about spiritual growth, and how to recognize faithfulness in the everyday moments that feel small but matter eternally.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why visible progress isn't the same as faithful progress
• What the Bible reveals through Noah, Ruth, and the Israelites about slow obedience
• The specific ways faithfulness shows up in your real life as a working mom
• Why consistency with God matters infinitely more than intensity
• How to know if you're actually growing (even when it doesn't feel like it)
• What to do when the answer is "no" and you feel stuck or far from God

Plus: I'm inviting you to join our Faithful Progress January Challenge—a month-long journey with daily reflection prompts, weekly Scripture, and a community of working moms letting go of "all-or-nothing" thinking together.
