Your Life Rocks: Life Balance For Christian Working Moms

There is so much power in sharing a testimony, your story about how God is showing up and working in your life.  This episode is number one in a four part series.  I know you will enjoy and be blessed by these stories!   In this first episode of the series, we hear from fellow working mom, Kayla Brissi.  Kayla came on the show to tell about her struggle with infertility and her miracle baby.  As you listen, you will hear that it is really a redemption story about love.   Love through the baby God gave her, love through her true love after divorce, and most importantly, God's love for Kayla that was never ending.     This podcast is sponsored by Life Balance Membership for Working Christian Moms.  Learn more by going to www.LifeBalanceMembership.com and start your free 7-day trial today!

 I talk a lot about life balance and I help working Christian moms create more balance in their lives.  But why?  Why not just buy into the cultural norm that says balance isn't possible?  Because it's a world view, not a Biblical view.  Balance is alignment with God's will for how we are to live our lives.  This is a two-part episode. If you missed part 1, go back and have a listen.  In this episode, we are diving into what it means to set biblical goals that set you up for balance in your parenting, home, friends/fun and career.

Here we are again, at the beginning of a high expectation season.  For me, expectations equal stress, which is why this is so ironic.  Summer time is supposed to be a casual, easy time.  No stress.   But let’s be real.  We only get a handful of summers with our kids before they are grown up.  And if you are like me, we want to help them make some great memories of summer time.  Plus, summer is a great time of growth for kids, both physically and otherwise.   The real cause for the stress from expectations?  The comparison game.  It’s strong come summer time.  For me, it starts with all the summer time movies of awesome camps, cookouts, time spent at the lake, amazing Fourth of July scenes where there doesn’t seem to be a lot of crowds and everyone is having a good time.  It creates a false expectation of the laid back, fun in the sun summer.  Then we can add a second layer of comparison with social media. Seeing people talk about their travel plans, fun things they are going to do, their kids dressed up in cu

Parenting isn't always easy and it's not always the same for everyone.  In this episode, we have co-author of Zag Zig Parenting.  Join the conversation as we talk about life as career moms married to stay at home dads, why it's important that we all encourage each other regardless of the work/home situation, and how remembering to breath is everything.  From expectations of our husbands to guilt we put on ourselves about the kids....we cover it all.

By now I think we all know the benefits of a great morning routine and if you have read and put in practice the Miracle Morning for yourself, then you know first hand how transformative it can be.  Especially for working moms like us that so badly need that quiet time for ourselves and with Jesus.  Have you ever thought about putting in a similar routine for your kids?  This episode we have the co-author of the book, Miracle Mornings for Parents and Families sharing 7 tips to implement this practice with your kiddos.

Ladies, the Bible calls us to be set apart.  A lot of times we think about the actions that set us apart as Christians from the rest of the world....but what about your mindset?  The Bible also talks many many times about the renewing of our minds.  So why do we allow our minds to be in alignment with the world?  I get it.  It is tough being a woman trying to find work-life balance.  You have a ton on your plate and it is hard.  That is where the world will tell you balance is not possible.  That you can't have it all.  That you should just brace yourself for the stress and chaos because there is nothing you can do about it.  It might be entertaining to relate to memes on the internet or videos about ranting moms slipping in curse words....but is that who you are?  Or are you the daughter of the king?  Are you capable of all things because of who strengthens you?  In this episode, I share my heart on the subject of mindset, balance, and how as Christian working moms we can balance it all and walk it out in fa

As working moms, it is easy to focus on the overwhelm, stress, and craziness of life.  Just by the shear way life is, we are all to often made aware of our brokenness.  That doesn't mean we have to stay there.  Jesus is calling.  He wants to heal us through being obedient and flowing him.  In the episode, hear me share my story of the healing that God has done in my life over the last year.  Let me encourage you to encounter God in this way.
