29. Am I Doing Enough as a Mom? A Mother’s Day Interview With My 6-Year-Old

from Faith Over Anxiety for Moms · host Rachel Cross – Christian Anxiety Coach

Have you ever wondered if you’re doing enough as a mom? Do you ever look back on the hard moments and worry that your kids are only going to remember the worst parts of you? What if your children are receiving more love, safety, prayer, and faithfulness from you than you realize? In this special Mother’s Day episode, I’m doing something a little different. My 6-year-old daughter is joining me on the podcast to interview me about motherhood, faith, family, what I love about being her mom, and what I hope she remembers as she grows up. This sweet conversation is a reminder for the anxious mom who feels like she’s not doing enough: your kids do not need a perfect mom. They need a mom who loves them, prays for them, says sorry when she needs to, and keeps pointing them back to Jesus. Motherhood is messy, funny, stretching, and beautiful all at the same time — and God’s grace meets us right in the middle of it.
