Why Moms Are So Tired and What Jesus Says About Rest

You're not alone. 💛 If you've ever collapsed into bed wondering why you feel so drained—even though you love your family, your faith, and your calling—this episode is for you. Many Christian moms today carry invisible weight. You're managing schedules, supporting your family, showing up at church, pursuing your career or business, caring for relationships, and trying to stay spiritually connected—all at the same time.

In this powerful opening episode of the Rhythms of Renewal series, Misty Hughes invites you into an honest and hope-filled conversation about exhaustion, identity, and the invitation Jesus extends to women running on empty.
