Practice Makes Parent - Your Best Mom Life

from Focus Live

In recognition of Mother's Day, Dr. Danny Huerta and Rebecca St. James discuss cultural pressures that leave many moms overwhelmed, burned out, and lonely, including perfectionism and social media comparison. They talk with Jamie Erickson, the author of Overwhelmed Mom, about finding hope and purpose in motherhood. Jamie emphasizes “one another” support in the church, embracing hidden, mundane tasks as God-seen work, and setting boundaries through a personal vision statement to filter commitments. Practical tips include creating a “10-minute power task list,” reducing screen time by “analoging” life, and prayerfully realigning priorities. In a Q&A, they advise a first-time mom that saying “no” appropriately  —helps children learn resilience and boundaries.   Overwhelmed Mom: Quiet the Chaos, Mind What Matters, Enjoy Your Life Again   Is Mother's Day Unhappy For You?
