🎙️ Episode 107: The Power of Presence — Living Fully in the Moment, Not Just Surviving the Day

Are you a busy Christian mom who feels like you’re always doing—but rarely being? You’re getting through the day, checking off the to-do list, keeping your family afloat—but your heart feels distant, your mind is constantly racing, and your spirit is running on empty?

In this episode, we’re talking about the real struggle of being physically present but emotionally and spiritually disconnected. I’ll walk you through how biblical truth, heart-level awareness, and gentle rhythms of grace can help you shift from surviving your days to truly living in them.

As a certified biblical counselor and fellow working mom, I want to encourage you: You don’t need to be perfect to be present. You don’t have to do more to be faithful. God is inviting you to walk with Him right now—in this moment—not someday when life slows down.

🔑 In This Episode You’ll Learn:
  • Why presence isn’t just about time—it’s about heart alignment

  • How false beliefs (like “busyness = value”) keep you stuck in exhaustion

  • Biblical counseling principles that help uncover what’s really driving your overwhelm

  • What it looks like to live from a place of peace, not pressure

  • A gentle invitation into small mindset shifts and rhythms that anchor you in God’s presence
