Episode 2: Why You’re B.A.D. in All the Right Ways

When you hear the phrase “bad mom,” what comes up for you? Shame? Fear? That moment you wish you could take back? I get it. I used to run as far away from that label as possible too; push it aside, stay busy because deep down-- I believed it was true.   But God showed me something powerful: the very thing I was avoiding was exactly where He was waiting. He wanted to put his fingerprint on the things I thought I could bury deep and keep to myself: the thoughts and memories on replay fueling the shameful feeling of being bad. But with His help, the way only He can give it, I began to see a different truth and stopped running. That’s why around here, B.A.D. doesn’t mean broken. It means: B – Blessed: You are not cursed, flawed, or disqualified. You are chosen, forgiven, and set apart. A – Already Approved of: You don’t have to hustle or prove your worth. God calls you His beloved, not because of what you do, but because of who you are. D – Divinely Designed: Every fiery, sensitive, or “too much” part of you was crafted on purpose for a great purpose. You were made for this mantle of motherhood. In this episode, I share my own story of running from shame, performing for worth, and the moment God whispered: “I chose you to be the heart of your home.” If your heart has been broken or weighed down by lies, He wants to heal it—because your heart matters. You are not a mistake. You are not failing. You are a B.A.D. Mom—Blessed, Already Approved, and Divinely Designed.   🔥 Your Next Step: Write down: “I’m a B.A.D. Mom—Blessed, Already Approved of, and Divinely Designed” on a sticky note where you’ll see it daily. Say it out loud atleast once a day (especially when doubt tries to creep in)!
