Ep 98: Mom Burnout: Finding Worth When Your Daily Sacrifices Go Unnoticed

Feeling unseen, unappreciated, and burnt out? You’re not alone—and this episode is for the Christian working mom who’s quietly holding it all together.

In today’s episode, we’re naming the silent struggle so many moms carry: the emotional and spiritual toll of doing all the things while feeling like no one truly notices. From early mornings and packed schedules to patient moments when you're running on empty, the lack of recognition can chip away at your spirit.

But here's the truth—you are not invisible to God. He sees you. Every moment. Every sacrifice.

We’ll dive into the powerful story of Hagar from Genesis 16 and discover the comfort and strength that comes from knowing God as El Roi—the God who sees. I'm sharing how this name of God speaks directly to the heart of the overwhelmed mom who feels discarded or forgotten.

You'll also learn:

  • How to reframe your thoughts when appreciation feels absent

  • What it looks like to be anchored in God's affirmation, not man's applause

  • Why being seen by God is enough

  • Practical ways to process your burnout, including journal prompts and a surrender moment to re-center your heart

  • Encouragement to seek support and speak up instead of suffering silently

This episode is full of truth, compassion, and real-life reminders that your work is holy—even when no one claps.

✍️ Journal Prompts to Reflect On:
  • Where do I feel unseen or unappreciated right now?

  • How has God been meeting me in that space, even if I haven’t noticed?

  • What does it mean for me to trust that being seen by God is enough—even if others never acknowledge what I do?
