Send us Fan MailHave you ever come home to a mountain of things that needed to get done and felt the exhaustion hit before you even started? Have you ever stood in the middle of your own life — the one you love — and felt completely buried by it? Have you ever thought it's all up to me and felt the weight of that land in your chest before you could even take a breath?Mama, that moment isn't weakness. But it might be telling you something you've been missing.In this episode, I get real about a season that brought me to my knees — and how the overwhelm I was drowning in was spilling into every corner of my life. My mindset. My marriage. My identity. My faith. When everything feels like it's on you and you're running on empty, it doesn't just affect your to-do list — it affects who you are and how you show up for the people you love most.What I discovered in the middle of it wasn't a productivity hack or a time management trick. It was a four-step method I call LEAD, and it's what kept me from losing myself completely in the mental and emotional load I had been carrying silently and alone.If you've been white-knuckling your way through survival mode and wondering why nothing seems to be working — this episode is your reset.In this episode we talk about:Why mom overwhelm goes so much deeper than a packed scheduleHow carrying the mental load alone drains your sense of identity and purposeThe way burnout shows up in your marriage before you even realize it's happeningWhy getting back into your faith practice is the anchor that changes everythingThe LEAD method — a practical framework to help overwhelmed moms slow down, realign, and move forward without losing themselvesHow to stop letting your to-do list own you — and what to do insteadGet on the insider list with Mitch and get updates on the newest episodes, extra tips and little love notes to you inbox!  → www.faithfulmamarising.comBecome part of a community of like-minded Mamas who know there's more to life than just living on fumes!  → Mindset for Moms and Marriage

Send us Fan MailHave you ever pushed so hard to make a point land — with your kids, your husband, or even yourself — and felt it slipping further away the harder you tried?Have you ever set an intention at the start of the day, reminded yourself a few more times, and then completely ignored your own advice by noon?Are you grinding toward a mindset shift you know you need — but the harder you push, the more stuck you feel?What if the resistance you're feeling right now isn't a sign that something is wrong — but a sign that something is about to break open?I had a moment with my daughters recently that started as a parenting win and ended with me questioning everything — including myself. And honestly? I think you're going to relate to it way more than you want to.In this episode I'm sharing what happened, what I realized afterward, and the question I couldn't stop sitting with. Because it turns out this isn't just a story about my kids. It's about all of us — and the way we try to force things that were never ours to force in the first place.If you've ever pushed harder when something wasn't landing and wondered why it only made things worse — this one's for you.We're getting into the Parable of the Sower, what it actually means to sow faithfully, and why the resistance you're feeling right now might be the best news you've heard all week.

Send us Fan MailHave you ever felt like you're the exception to God's grace?Like you know He loves people — you've seen it, you've read it, you believe it — but somewhere deep down you wonder if that actually includes you?Like maybe you've made too many mistakes, asked for help too many times, or stayed stuck in the same pattern so long that even God is tired of waiting?Or maybe it's not that dramatic. Maybe there's just one area of your life — one room — where you've quietly put up a restricted access sign and decided that particular struggle is too small, too embarrassing, or too insignificant for God to actually care about?What if the distance you feel isn't Him pulling away — but you hiding?IN THIS EPISODE:In this episode of Faithful Mama Rising, we're tackling one of the most common but least talked about struggles in Christian motherhood — feeling spiritually alone even when you believe. If you've ever felt like God is on silent mode, wondered if you've worn out your welcome, or convinced yourself that your problems don't qualify for His attention, this one is for you.We're talking about the invisible prison we build around ourselves — the shame, the patterns, the hiding — and why that silence you're feeling isn't abandonment. It's an invitation waiting to happen.We dive into Psalm 139, the Prodigal Son, and one of the most unexpected miracles in the Bible — the Wedding at Cana — and what Jesus' very first miracle tells us about the size of problems God is willing to show up for.Spoiler: He turned water into wine at a party. Your problem qualifies.IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL DISCOVER:Why feeling alone in your faith doesn't mean God has left — and what's actually creating that distanceThe story we tell ourselves about God that's completely human and completely wrongWhy you might be totally open with God in some areas of your life but have a restricted access sign on the door in othersWhat the Wedding at Cana reveals about the size of problems God actually cares aboutWhy God is a gentleman — and what that means for the silence you've been feelingHow to take one small step out of hiding and make it the invitation that changes everythingGet on the insider list with Mitch and get updates on the newest episodes, extra tips and little love notes to you inbox!  → www.faithfulmamarising.comBecome part of a community of like-minded Mamas who know there's more to life than just living on fumes!  → Mindset for Moms and Marriage

Send us Fan MailHave you ever had a day where nothing is actually wrong… but somehow everything just feels harder than it should?Do you and your husband ever walk into the same situation with completely different expectations—and not realize it until you’re already frustrated?Have you noticed how fast you can go from calm… to reacting… over something small?What if the tension you’re feeling isn’t really about what’s happening—but the mode you’re in?In this episode, I’m sharing a real-life moment from a simple family outing that didn’t go the way I expected—and how quickly it could have turned into frustration on both sides.What I realized in the middle of it completely shifted the direction of our day. It wasn’t about who was right or wrong. It wasn’t even really about communication in the way we usually think about it. It was about the unspoken expectations we both walked in with—and how differently we were approaching the same situation.We talk about the difference between being in “get it done” mode versus “let’s enjoy this” mode, and how easy it is for those to clash without us even realizing it. And more importantly, how learning to pause and observe what’s actually happening—instead of immediately reacting—can change everything in the moment.This is one of those small mindset shifts that seems simple, but has the power to completely change the way you experience your marriage and your day-to-day life.Get on the insider list with Mitch and get updates on the newest episodes, extra tips and little love notes to you inbox!  → www.faithfulmamarising.comBecome part of a community of like-minded Mamas who know there's more to life than just living on fumes!  → Mindset for Moms and Marriage

Send us Fan MailDoes this sound like you?You're holding it all together on the outside but running on empty on the inside — and nobody really knows.You'd call yourself a person of faith, but somewhere in the chaos of life, you stopped actually bringing things to God.You keep saying you trust Him, but when you look at what you're white-knuckling in your life, the list is long.You consider yourself an open book — but there's one chapter you keep closed, even with the people closest to you.You feel alone, not because people aren't around, but because you've decided for them what they can and can't handle from you.In this episode:This one came straight out of Passion Week. While reading through Luke day by day, one verse stopped everything — Luke 22:24, where the disciples go from hearing that one of them will betray Jesus, to arguing about who among them is the greatest. Almost in the same breath.It's easy to shake your head at them. Until you realize you do the same thing.After one of the hardest seasons our family has ever walked through — an emergency surgery that had doctors unsure if Andrew would make it, a wedding, and an unexpected death all back to back — I finally sat down for a business meeting with God. And what came out of it cracked me open.I wasn't trusting Him. Not really. I was carrying everything — my marriage, my kids, my business, my image — and calling it faith while quietly cutting God out because I was too busy keeping it all together for Him to actually step in.This episode is about what it really looks like to trust God with the thing you're holding the hardest. Not the bumper sticker version. The kind that costs you something.Get on the insider list with Mitch and get updates on the newest episodes, extra tips and little love notes to you inbox!  → www.faithfulmamarising.comBecome part of a community of like-minded Mamas who know there's more to life than just living on fumes!  → Mindset for Moms and Marriage

We're talking about what it really looks like when God shows up in the ordinary — not just the highlight reel moments — and why the gap between the life you imagined and the Tuesday you're actually living might be exactly where your growth is hiding.

Send us Fan MailAre these questions hitting a little too close to home?Do you feel like you're constantly reacting instead of responding — with your husband, your kids, or both?Have you ever caught yourself waiting for your partner to change, while secretly wondering why nothing ever gets better?Are you putting expectations on your kids that might actually be way beyond where they are developmentally?If you nodded at any of those, this episode is for you.What This Episode Is AboutIf you've ever felt like you're the only one trying in your marriage, or like your kids are just out to get you, this episode is going to hit home. We're digging into the hidden mindset that keeps moms stuck in reactive mode — with their husbands and their kids. Because you cannot fix what you cannot see. I'm sharing the real story of how it took me eleven years to figure out something about my husband Andrew that we had been playing on repeat and it was driving me crazy — and why your kids' behavior might have a lot less to do with attitude and a lot more to do with a brain that's still forming.

Send us Fan Mail If you're an overwhelmed mom struggling with burnout, marriage disconnection, and losing yourself in the constant cycle of frustration with the people you love most — this episode is for you.Have you ever slapped a mental "naughty or nice" label on someone in your life — your kid, your husband, maybe even yourself — and felt the weight of that judgment sit heavy in your chest? Have you ever found yourself in the same argument with your spouse, the same standoff with your child, wondering why nothing ever changes? Have you ever thought, I just want more grace in this house — but didn't know how to get there?Mama, what if the shift you've been looking for isn't a strategy — it's a perspective?In this episode we're diving into one of the most powerful mindset reframes I've ever come across: the idea that everyone — your kids, your husband, even you — is doing the best they can with what they've got. That doesn't mean excusing bad behavior or letting yourself off the hook. It means trading judgment for empathy, and watching what happens to your relationships when you do. I'm even pulling in a little inspiration from This Is Us — because sometimes a good tear-jerker puts it better than any self-help book ever could.When you stop trying to sort everyone into "naughty or nice" and start seeing them as whole, growing, imperfect people — something shifts. In your marriage. In your parenting. In the way you talk to yourself on the hard days. And that shift? It's where the real connection starts.In this episode we talk about:Why "naughty or nice" thinking keeps overwhelmed moms stuck in cycles of frustration — and how to break freeWhat's really behind your kids' acting out (hint: it's not to drive you crazy — usually)What This Is Us taught me about timing, personal growth, and grace in your family dynamicHow showing grace to your spouse — even when he forgets to take out the trash — can transform your marriage from the inside outWhy parenting without perfection isn't giving up — it's actually the mindset shift that saves youHow breaking generational cycles of judgment starts with one mom choosing empathy in her own homeThe connection between extending grace to others and finally extending it to yourself📌 Note: This episode was originally recorded under the podcast's former name, Fun Rich Mom.

Send us Fan MailIf you're an overwhelmed mom struggling with burnout, the comparison trap, and a joy that keeps getting hijacked by everyone else's highlight reel — this episode is for you.Have you ever picked up your phone for two minutes and put it down feeling worse about your life than when you started? Have you ever watched another kid hit a milestone and felt that little twist in your chest before you could even stop it? Have you ever looked at someone else's marriage, someone else's home, someone else's family — and felt the quiet ache of why doesn't mine look like that?Mama, comparison is sneaky. And it is absolutely stealing your joy.The tricky thing about comparison is that most of it happens below the surface — in the unconscious scrolling, the offhand observations, the ways we measure our insides against everyone else's outsides without even realizing we're doing it. And the emotional toll it takes doesn't just affect your mood. It seeps into your mental health, your self-esteem, your mindset, and your marriage in ways that are easy to miss until the damage is already done.But here's what I love about this conversation — comparison doesn't have to be the enemy. When we learn to use it as a tool instead of a weapon, it can actually become one of the most powerful catalysts for growth we have. In this episode we are flipping the script completely.In this episode we talk about:The subtle, sneaky ways comparison shows up in everyday mom life — from social media to parenting styles to the holiday card version of everyone else's familyThe real emotional toll comparison takes on your mental health, your self-esteem, and your closest relationshipsHow the comparison trap quietly creates disconnection in your marriage before you even connect the dotsThe mindset shift that turns comparison from a joy-stealer into a growth toolPractical steps to stop unhealthy comparison in its tracks — for real, not just for a dayHow to reclaim your joy and refocus on what actually matters in your own beautiful, imperfect lifeSubscribe & Review:If this episode resonated with you, subscribe and drop a comment!⭐️.

If you missed Part 1, no worries—I’ll give you a quick recap, but definitely go back and listen for the full breakdown.Today, we’re talking about Speech and Energy:Speech:The way you talk about your life matters—a lot. We all speak in metaphors that reflect how we feel about our world. Think about it: are you saying things like, “Life is a bowl of cherries,” or “I’m stuck on a sinking ship”? Those phrases don’t just show where your head is—they impact how you show up. I’ll share tips for recognizing your go-to phrases and how to flip the script to create better patterns.Energy:There are different energy states—rich, neutral, and poor—and none of them are "bad." But it’s helpful to notice where you spend most of your time and how your energy shifts depending on what you’re doing. Energy-rich is where the magic happens if you’re looking to make a change. In this episode, I’ll show you how to use movement, focus, and empowering speech to step into that energy when you need it.We’ll also explore how these tools apply to your relationships. The energy you bring to your family, friends, and partner creates a vibe that sticks—so is it the one you want? If not, we’ll talk about how to tweak it.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:Why the words you use to describe your life can either hold you back or push you forward.What energy-rich states are and how to shift into them.How to use the B.A.S.E.

Send us Fan MailHey there, action-takers! 💪 Today we're diving into something that hits home for all of us - getting unstuck and breaking those pesky patterns that hold us back. 🎙️ Episode OverviewIn this episode, we’re diving into the first two steps of my B.A.S.E. method to help you get unstuck and reclaim your energy! This topic hit home after I noticed one of my daughters experiencing a wave of panic over a math assessment. She normally breezes through her work, but test time brought on intense stress. She showed all the signs I’m covering today, and what's so cool is that we completely flipped it using these simple steps!What You’ll Learn:🌟 Step 1: BodyEverything starts with the body, our literal foundation for change! This isn’t about transforming how you look—it's about becoming aware of how you’re using your body and the messages it’s sending. If you’re feeling sluggish or low, take a look at your posture. Are you slouched, shoulders drooping, breathing shallowly? This physical state can keep you stuck in a low-energy mode. Learn how opening up your posture and getting some movement can boost oxygen to your brain and jumpstart fresh thinking! 🧘‍♀️💨🌟 Step 2: AttentionNext, we focus on where your attention is going. Our brains love to replay past troubles and pile them into the future, which makes us feel paralyzed by overthinking. Here’s the trick: are you serving up unhelpful thoughts for free? When you realize you’re giving your energy to these thoughts, it’s easier to shift to a more empowering mindset. I’ll even walk you through a quick exercise to help reframe your thoughts! 🧠✨By the end, you’ll see how my daughter turned her fear of that “big test” into something she could manage and even look forward to. 🌈 Next week, we’ll cover the remaining parts of the B.A.S.E. method so you can do the same and feel empowered in every area of your life!Tune in to learn practical steps for transforming your state and getting back to feeling in control!⚡ Quick Action Step:Check your posture right now - are you supporting or sabotaging your state?Get on the insider list with Mitch and get updates on the newest episodes, extra tips and little love notes to you inbox!  → www.faithfulmamarising.comBecome part of a community of like-minded Mamas who know there's more to life than just living on fumes!  → Mindset for Moms and Marriage

Send us Fan MailIf you're an overwhelmed mom struggling with burnout, decision fatigue, and wondering if homeschooling is even possible for your family — this episode is for you.Have you ever gone down the homeschool research rabbit hole and come back more confused than when you started? Have you ever looked at your already-packed life and wondered how on earth you'd add teaching to it? Have you ever thought, maybe this is right for us — but had no idea where to even begin?Mama, I have been exactly where you are.Before we made the decision to homeschool our girls, I interviewed homeschooling parents and kids, weighed it against our experience with the public school system, and spent a lot of time wondering if this was the right call for our family. What I discovered is that the overwhelm of deciding is usually bigger than the overwhelm of doing — and once we got started, it wasn't nearly as crazy as I thought it would be.In this episode I'm pulling back the curtain on what our homeschool life actually looks like — the real pros and cons, the hard days, and why we are genuinely loving this journey. Whether homeschooling is something you're seriously considering or just curious about, this episode will help you cut through the noise and make a decision that's right for your family, your marriage, and your faith.Because here's what I've learned: when a mom is aligned with her decisions — when her mindset is settled and her home has a rhythm — everything gets better. The overwhelm lightens. The connection with your kids deepens. And yes, even your marriage breathes a little easier when you're not second-guessing yourself every single day.In this episode we talk about:Why researching homeschooling can feel so overwhelming — and how to simplify the decisionSchedules and what a realistic homeschool day actually looks like for a busy momHow to stay aware of where your child is in their learning journey without losing your mindPicking subjects, adapting to different learning styles, and self-directed educationWhat it's like to get back on track after taking a break (because life happens)Socialization — the question everyone asks — and the real answerHow to protect your own time and sanity as a homeschooling momWhy making a decision with confidence is one of the best mindset shifts an overwhelmed mom can make📌 Note: This episode was originally recorded under the podcast's former name, Fun Rich Mom.

Send us Fan MailIf you're an overwhelmed mom struggling with burnout, losing yourself in the task-driven grind of motherhood, and wondering where the vibrant, playful woman you used to be went — this episode is for you.Have you ever thought it was funny that as a woman, femininity should come naturally — and yet you can't remember the last time you felt truly connected to it? Have you ever looked up from your to-do list and realized you've been operating in pure task mode for so long that you've forgotten what it even feels like to just be? Have you ever felt like the "girly" side of you got somewhere along the way — and you're not even sure you're allowed to want her back?Mama, she didn't disappear. She's just been buried under the weight of everything that needed to get done.Here's what I've learned — and what I still have to remind myself of regularly: when we tap back into our feminine essence, we don't get less done. We actually get more out of life, and we do it in a way that brings the fun back. The power, the creativity, the playfulness that lives at your core isn't a distraction from your responsibilities. It's the thing that makes everything else sustainable.In this episode I'm breaking down the 5 core elements of feminine essence that will help you reconnect with the most vibrant, powerful parts of who you are — as a woman, as a mom, and yes, in your marriage too. Because when a woman is fully alive in her femininity, everyone around her feels it.In this episode we talk about:Why femininity doesn't come as naturally as we think it should — and why that's not your faultHow the task-driven grind of overwhelmed mom life quietly disconnects you from your feminine essenceWhy being the "girly" girl has gotten a bad rap — and why reclaiming it is actually a mindset shift worth makingThe 5 core elements of femininity that will help you embody your most powerful, playful self: Power, Creativity, Playfulness, Storms, and ConnectionHow reconnecting with your feminine nature transforms your marriage and your relationships from the inside outWhy embracing this side of yourself doesn't make life harder — it makes it fulfilling on a whole new level📌 Note: This episode was originally recorded under the podcast's former name, Fun Rich Mom. Same host, same heart — just a new name and a fresh mission.Get on the insider list with Mitch and get updates on the newest episodes, extra tips and little love notes to you inbox!  → www.faithfulmamarising.comBecome part of a community of like-minded Mamas who know there's more to life than just living on fumes!  → Mindset for Moms and Marriage
