Send us Fan Mail“Lost in motherhood” gets likes, nods, and instant agreement, but we’ve both felt how quickly that kind of language can shape your attitude, your gratitude, and even your spiritual footing. That’s why this conversation hits differently. I’m joined by Kristina Brooks, a Christian author, wife, and mum, to talk about what it looks like to navigate overwhelm without letting it define you, and how anchoring your identity in Christ changes the way you see your days.Kristina shares the turning point that led her from a successful side hustle into a clear God-led calling to write, plus the very real struggle of creating a devotional while raising little kids. We talk about feeling unqualified, working without deadlines, and learning to keep going when motivation runs out. If you’ve ever tried to build something while juggling nappies, school runs, meals, and the mental load, you’ll feel seen.We also get practical about self-publishing and book marketing: formatting, design, editing fatigue, trying for a traditional book deal, and the surprising peace that can come through “no response” moments. Christina opens up about showing up online with honesty rather than polish, and why a “real” voice matters even more in a world full of curated content.If you want faith-based encouragement for mums, a fresh perspective on Christian motherhood, and a reminder that organisation is meant to serve your purpose, press play.
