About this episode

Hey friend—whether you’re folding laundry, waiting in the school pickup line, or hiding out in the bathroom for a moment of quiet (we’ve all been there!), I’m so glad you’re here.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about something every Christian working mom wrestles with: How do you stay intentional and productive—without burning out? Spoiler alert: this isn’t about waking up at 5am or sticking to a Pinterest-perfect routine. It’s about slowing down, finding God's grace in the chaos, and discovering how to work from a place of peace rather than depletion.

We’ll walk through practical, faith-rooted ways to:

  • Do less and actually get more done (yes, it’s possible!)

  • Use unfinished tasks to spark more focus and creativity

  • Turn your scattered time into sacred moments of connection with God

  • Build a productivity rhythm that aligns with your God-given wiring—not someone else’s system

This episode is for the mom who feels stretched thin, who’s tired of unrealistic standards, and who wants to live a life that’s more present, peaceful, and purpose-driven.

In This Episode:
  • [2:30] Why doing less might be your secret weapon to getting more done

  • [5:00] The power of leaving things unfinished on purpose—and how it boosts clarity

  • [7:30] How to transform small, scattered moments into sacred time with God

  • [10:30] Why your unique rhythms matter and how to build a life around them

  • [13:00] A reminder that your worth isn’t tied to productivity—God’s rest is a gift, not a reward

Key Bible Verse:

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

Try This This Week:
  • Schedule one “holy pause” into your day—just 15 minutes to sit with God

  • Embrace “good enough” in one area of your life and watch how freeing it feels

  • Assign a spiritual practice to three small windows of your day (car line, brushing teeth, stirring dinner)

  • Ditch one productivity rule that makes you feel like you’re not enough—and replace it with grace
