This week's episode first aired February of 2023. It has been my most popular episode to date. Enjoy this replay...

Have you ever felt like taking care of yourself was somehow selfish? After all, so many other people are counting on you. That mindset nearly broke me—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

When my boys were 5, 4, and 2, my body staged what I call a "mini rebellion." Heart surgery, chronic hives, thyroid issues, kidney stones, and persistent headaches all converged in the same season. This mini-health crisis became my wake-up call. I had to face an uncomfortable truth: I had been operating under the false belief that being a good mother meant giving until I had nothing left.

That's when I realized that mature people recognize their own needs and take responsibility for meeting them. This wasn't selfishness—it was wisdom. God gives us permission to create balanced, healthy lifestyles for ourselves and our families. We have far more control over the rhythms of our homes than we often realize.

As mothers, we set the emotional tone for our entire household. When we're depleted and running on empty, everyone feels it. When we're rested and nourished—both physically and spiritually—we create an atmosphere where our families can thrive.

In this episode I share six principles that helped me change my approach to motherhood and self-care: recognizing your needs, creating balanced routines, prioritizing rest, dealing with the chaos of busy seasons, asking for help without shame, and committing to growth in self-care. You weren't meant to be a martyr for your family; you were meant to be a blessing. And you can't pour from an empty cup.

Have you ever felt trapped in a spiral of negativity, where every challenge seems to confirm that life is just hard? That's exactly where I found myself years ago as a new stay-at-home mom to three young children. My home began feeling more like a prison than the sanctuary I'd envisioned.

When my husband finally pointed out how negative I'd become, I was initially furious. But that observation catalyzed the change I needed.

This episode is about the power of gratitude and positive perspective as revealed in Proverbs 15:15: "All the days of the afflicted are made evil, but those of a merry heart have a continual feast." When we see ourselves as victims, we unconsciously filter our experiences through that lens, confirming our negative expectations. But when we cultivate thankfulness, we begin noticing the countless blessings that were always there.

This isn't about embracing "toxic positivity" or denying legitimate struggles. Rather, it's about recognizing that thankfulness keeps us in right relationship with God and transforms how we experience our daily lives. Through practical steps like keeping a gratitude journal and consciously choosing to "look up" rather than "look down," we can break free from negativity's grip and experience joy regardless of circumstances.

What would change if you started intentionally documenting God's faithfulness in your life? How might shifting your perspective from "afflicted" to "blessed" transform not just your experience, but the atmosphere you create for those around you? Join me in choosing to see the things around us through His eys.
