Time for Mom | Self-Esteem, Routines, Mom Guilt, Priorities, Comparison, Devotional, Self-Worth

Do you let mom guilt convince you that your mistakes define you, even though God has already stamped His image on you? Have you compared yourself to other moms and forgotten that God made you intentionally — with a purpose, a plan, and a unique reflection of His character? Are you living your days from a place of low self-worth or exhausted routines, instead of the truth that God is continually shaping you to look more like Him? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing why mom guilt can’t change the image of God in you so you can finally see your worth the way He does. Your children reflect your image — and you reflect God’s image. Mom guilt can distort how you see yourself, but it cannot rewrite God’s design. Your self-worth grows as you spend time with God and reflect His character. Comparison steals joy, but God’s image in you is unchanging and unique. God is continually transforming you — even in the hidden, exhausting parts of motherhood. Your calling as a mom is intentional, purposeful, and God-designed.

Are you holding so tightly to your own routines that you’re missing the people — parents, grandparents, or spiritual family — who can pour wisdom, love, and stability into your kids? Do you ever feel the weight of mom guilt telling you that needing help means you’re failing — even though there is a community of people you already trust? Have you let comparison reorder your priorities, pulling you away from the generational gifts right in front of you? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood.

It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing memories from living with my grandma and benefits my children have from us living with my parents so you can see how you and your own children can benefit from family, older generations, and time with mentors. Community isn’t weakness — it’s God’s provision. Generational connection is a gift we rarely see coming. Age brings a kind of wisdom that strengthens families. Shared life builds shared memories.

Do you ever feel stuck in your spiritual growth—caught between mom guilt, comparison, and the pressure to keep perfect routines as a SAHM? Have you noticed moments where your self-esteem or self-worth take a hit because you can’t see the “invisible growth” God is actually building in you? Are you giving your priorities to everything and everyone else while forgetting the spiritual nourishment your heart needs to stay rooted in Christ? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing the eight spiritual growth lessons God has shown me through my girls so you can recognize your own spiritual maturity—even the kind that feels slow, invisible, painful, or buried under the daily weight of motherhood and capacity limits. Growth isn’t obvious while it’s happening, but becomes clear when you look back and see how God has been forming you in the hidden places. Growth is painful, yet the discomfort is evidence that God is stretching you toward deeper spiritual maturity and sustainable motherhood. Just like children need varied nutrition, we need spiritual nourishment—Scripture, prayer, rest, connection, and community—to grow in healthy, faith‑rooted ways. Boundaries create safety, wisdom, and confidence, helping both kids and moms stay grounded in God’s truth instead of mom guilt or overwhelm. Love, connection, and affirmation remain lifelong needs, and God faithfully meets them as we learn to mother from a place of being loved, not striving. Discipline is uncomfortable but essential, shaping character and helping us grow into who God designed us to be—inside our Four Walls and beyond. Children need intentional teaching, and we need spiritual teaching too, so our roots grow deep in Christ and we don’t live with shallow, exhausted faith. Growth takes time, and God prepares us slowly and lovingly for what He’s calling us to do next, even when we feel behind or unsure.

Have you ever wished you could stop making mistakes with your kids? Is mom guilt eating at you when you don't follow through with your own priorities? Are you frustrated with failing to follow through with your own values? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood.

It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how failure is a part of motherhood so you can start seeing failure as an opportunity to grow. Failure doesn't have to define you or your self-worth. Just because you say you prioritize time with God, doesn't mean you won't stop when it's hard to make that time. Routines are easy to break when life gets crazy and hard to start back up – but you can still do it. Don't compare yourself to where you want to be. Give yourself a little grace when you mess up.

Do you ever feel mom guilt creeping in because you think you should be able to declutter, manage the house, and hold everything together without help? Have you noticed how comparison steals your self-worth — especially when you assume other SAHMs are doing it all alone (even though they aren’t)? Are you carrying priorities that God never asked you to carry, trying to prove your self-esteem through self-sufficiency instead of letting community support you? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood.

If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing the truth about clutter and community so you can build a peaceful home with support, not burnout. Key Takeaways: Decluttering is emotional — “what if” thinking keeps moms stuck in clutter cycles. Boundaries protect your peace — even “helpful” items can derail your decluttering progress. Moms need community — Scripture shows we’re designed to carry burdens together, not alone. Receiving help is biblical — like Moses, moms thrive when others hold up their arms. Your story matters — every messy moment becomes part of your God‑given testimony.

Did your dream and goals vanish when you became a mom? Do you feel stuck in the mundane and repetitive routines that seem to consume mothers? Have you wondered if motherhood overwhelmed your purpose in life? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. Today’s guest, Nicole Naicker, is a Life coach, wife, boy mom and entrepreneur who helps Christian women who feel stuck (in anxiety, self-doubt and limiting beliefs) gain clarity on their purpose, define success through their faith, and set goals that align with the life they believe God is calling them to live. She works with women who are ready to move past self-doubt, trust God’s direction, and start taking meaningful steps toward their calling. In this episode, we are discussing how your priorities change when you become a mom so you can see how motherhood isn't the end but an expansion of your God given purpose.  Key takeaways: There is Purpose in Every Season of Motherhood – Motherhood may feel repetitive and mundane, but God weaves purpose into every season, role, and responsibility. Your dreams don’t disappear when you become a mom — they expand. God’s Strength in Your Weakness - You don’t have to be confident on your own. God uses your gifts, your limitations, and even your hard days to shape you, grow you, and prepare you for what’s next. Discovering Your Calling Through Your Gifts - If you feel unsure about your purpose, start with prayer, your natural gifts, your interests, and the feedback of people who know you. Write it all down and look for the overlap — your calling often hides in what feels ordinary to you. Motherhood as Sacred Preparation - Raising children develops new skills, deepens compassion, and strengthens resilience. These aren’t detours from your purpose — they’re part of the preparation for future dreams, work, and ministry. Waiting Well Without Losing Heart - Dreams may feel paused, but they aren’t dead. Waiting is not passivity — it’s a posture of faith. Motherhood is a beautiful chapter in your story, not the end of it. If you don't know what your dream or purpose is what can you do? Pray and ask God for clarity. Identify your natural gifts and talents — what comes easily to you. Ask trusted people what they see in you if you’re unsure. Notice your interests and what you genuinely enjoy. Write everything down so you can see it clearly. Look for the overlap — that’s often where your purpose begins to take shape. Your gifts won't seem like they are extraordinary to you 🌿 What do you do ff you feel your dreams are dead? Feeling like your dreams have faded is completely normal, especially in a season where motherhood is sacred but often unseen and unpraised. Modern moms carry heavier expectations than ever, but having a child doesn’t erase your purpose — it adds a new layer to it. Motherhood is one of the most meaningful callings you’ll ever walk in, and it grows skills, strength, and wisdom you’ll carry into every future dream. Your purpose isn’t gone — it’s being expanded and prepared. God is shaping you through this season for what comes next. Ask yourself: What might God be preparing me for through the very things that feel small, repetitive, or hidden right now?

Do you see a lot of stinky stuff come out of you when you hit challenging times? Are you wondering what the purpose of trials even is? Have you wondered how God can and does use our trials, disruptions, and crazy times to make us better children of God? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor.

It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing a devotional on drying garlic so you can see how God uses trials and hard times to transform us into a "delicious aroma"! God uses hard seasons to reveal what needs healing. What feels “stinky” can become something good in His hands. Scripture exposes what’s hidden so God can transform it. Refining seasons grow endurance, character, and hope.

Do you have emotional “empty boxes” — mom guilt, comparison, or old routines — you're holding onto? Have you been carrying hurt, dreams, or expectations that God is asking you to release so you can rebuild healthier priorities? Are you keeping things—physical or emotional—that are actually doing damage to your family? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood.

It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how boxes of stuff, literal or figurative can clutter our lives so you can see where God is asking you to let go and make room for new things.  Letting go makes room for what God actually wants to give you. Hoarding—physical or emotional—quietly drains your capacity. Invisible boxes (hurt, dreams, grudges) weigh more than the real ones. Forgiveness is releasing what’s poisoning your heart, not excusing the hurt. God can’t fill what you refuse to empty.

Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in a never‑ending valley season — where motherhood, marriage, or life just feels heavy and unrelenting? Have you walked through days that feel more like survival than growth, wondering why God would allow so many low moments at once? Are you longing for reassurance that the hard, mundane, or painful parts of your story actually have purpose? If so, you’re in the right place. Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing a devotional inspired by Jane Eggleston’s poem “It’s in the Valleys I Grow.” We’re talking about why the valleys of motherhood — the grief, the overwhelm, the mundane, the emotionally draining moments — are often the very places where God grows us the most. From the weight of daily responsibilities to the deeper struggles we don’t always talk about, God uses these low places to strengthen us, shape our character, and draw us closer to Him. 🌿 Tangible Takeaways for Moms 1. God grows you in the low places The valley seasons — the heavy, mundane, or painful ones — are where your roots deepen. 2. Your struggles have purpose Nothing you’re walking through is wasted. God uses even the hard moments to shape you. 3. God is steady in every season You may not understand the valley, but He’s with you in it, guiding and strengthening you. 4. The everyday moments matter Even the repetitive, ordinary parts of motherhood are places where God is working in you.

Does every time management hack, routine and schedule leave you frustrated and overwhelmed? Do you want to prioritize finding routines so you can finally have a schedule that works? Are you comparing what works for everyone else and wonder what you are doing wrong? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood.

If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing 3 tangible time management tips so you can start finding those routines that actually work with you, your family, and your life. 🌿 Tangible Takeaways for Moms 1. Build your routines on a foundation of time with God Start with one small, consistent moment with God each day — a verse, a prayer, a conversation. Ask God to shape your schedule instead of trying to force someone else’s system onto your life. 2. Experiment without guilt Try one new routine this week — morning rhythm, cleaning flow, bedtime structure — and treat it like an experiment, not a test. When something doesn’t work, don’t label it a failure. Adjust and keep going. 3. Work with your God‑given wiring Choose routines that match your personality, energy levels, and season of motherhood. Ask yourself: Does this routine support my family’s real life, or am I trying to squeeze us into someone else’s mold? 4. Give yourself grace every single day Replace self‑criticism with curiosity: What can I learn from this moment instead of beating myself up? Remember: motherhood isn’t defined by perfection but by how you rise, repair, and keep loving.

Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in a “winter season” of motherhood — where everything feels heavy, repetitive, or draining — and wonder if you’re doing something wrong?

In this episode, I’m sharing how life mirrors storms, there is good that can come out of the bad, and how God is still in the middle with us so you can learn to recognize God in the middle of your circumstances.  1. Every season has a purpose — even the ones that feel cold, dark, or hopeless. Winter seasons may feel like death or loss, but they’re often clearing space for something new to grow. 🌧️ 2. Growth requires storms — not comfort. Spring storms are uncomfortable, messy, and disruptive, yet they’re the very thing that produces maturity, strength, and new life. 🌞 3. Joy becomes deeper when you’ve walked through seasons of hardship. We appreciate the “summer” seasons more fully because we’ve endured the cold and the storms that came before them. 🌱 4. God uses endings to make room for beginnings. Sometimes He brings things to a close so you can step into a new season without being held back by what once was. 🙌 5. Whatever season you’re in, God is steady, present, and intentional. He is the same in winter, spring, and summer — and He is using your current season to shape you, grow you, and draw you closer to Him.

Does motherhood feel like a never-ending wave of storms? Are you wondering where God is when everything is falling apart? Do you know who God is when life is hard? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how God is still present even when life is hard and maybe even a little depressed. No matter how messy mom life is, how perfect other people's lives seem compared to yours, or if your self-worth crumbling as fast as your overcooked meatloaf, God is there. Key takeaways: Life is filled with storms AND times of beauty and peace. Like it or not, moms set the tone for the home. Our kids feed off of our emotions and so do our husbands. I hold myself to a higher standard of behavior and ultimately fail because I'm not that good. Reminding yourself of who God really is, not what society says he is. I know who God is because I have seen who he is in the hard times. God is the only thing that has not crumbled in my life. God is in the storm.

Does your child handle life better than you? Have you needed to guide your child through a hard situation and been the one who is taught a lesson? Are you wondering if anything you've been trying to teach your children is sinking in? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how life has shaped my child in ways my routines couldn't so you can walk with your child through life we can't protect them from forever.  When your child faces loss or cruelty for the first time, it does something inside you. This episode walks through a moment where my daughter’s compassion outshined my instinctive reactions — and how God used that to reshape my heart. From navigating grief to responding to bullying, this devotional reminds moms that our kids often model Christlike love long before we think they can. Kids often model God’s love more clearly than adults do. Your first reaction isn’t always your best reaction. Mom guilt shows up, but God uses it to refine your priorities. Encouraging your child in the little things strengthens their self-worth. Parenting moments can grow your heart in ways routines never will.

Do you ever cling to old routines or habits because change feels too overwhelming? Have you compared yourself to other moms and been too afraid to step into something new God is nudging you toward? Are you ignoring God’s gentle nudges because your priorities are shaped more by survival mode than faith? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor.

It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing a devotional comparing potty training and spiritual growth to help you recognize where you are on your own spiritual growth as a Christian. • Growth means leaving behind comfort. • God knows exactly what we’re capable of. • Spiritual growth is slow, messy, and repetitive. • God prepares us long before the moment of change. • Training isn’t pleasant, but it produces deep fruit. • God leads us deeper one step at a time.

Beautiful, is it impossible for you to take a break without being riddled with mom guilt? Is your self-worth dependent on your productivity as a mom? Does it seem impossible to have rest in your routines? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, and Jesus follower. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood.

It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing about 3 kinds of rest every SAHM needs and how to find doable things to fill you as a mom, family, and couple. The three kinds of rest: Physical Rest, Mental Rest & Spiritual Rest. Questions to ask yourself, family and spouse: What kind of rest do you need? What on your to-do list can wait? What gives you rest as person? What gives you rest as a family? What gives you rest as a couple?

Do you question God when asks you to obey but you don't understand why he's asking—just like your kids question you? Have you fought with God when you didn't understand his direction? Are you wondering if God is okay with your questions or if he's asking you for silent obedience? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, coach, and mentor. After years of comparison and mom guilt, I learned the secret to becoming the mom my girls needed! By prioritizing time with Jesus, building simple routines that actually worked, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth look like through God’s eyes, I was able to find joy in motherhood. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how watching my kids ask questions and struggle with obedience opened my eyes to how I do the same with God so you can find peace in the struggle between obedience and understanding.  Obedience often comes before understanding, both for our kids and for us with God. Kids play the “Why?” game, and we often do the same with God when we delay obedience. God sees dangers, consequences, and priorities we don't, just like we do with our children. It’s healthy to ask God why, but He still calls us to obedience rooted in love (Deuteronomy 11:1). God sometimes withholds answers because faith grows through trust, not full explanations. Acts of obedience—like Rahab’s—can shape generations, even when we don’t see the fruit right away. Choosing obedience over questioning helps us build spiritual routines, stronger faith, and deeper trust in God’s guidance.

Do your SAHM routines leave you exhausted and empty? Have you ever said, "I need me time!" but just felt guilty? Are you comparing yourself to other moms and wondering why none of them seem as tired as you? (They probably are.) If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting comparison and mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is.

It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing about 3 different kinds of rest (physical, spiritual, and mental) so you can find where you need rest as a mom and as a family. How you get the rest you need isn't always the same as your spouse, bestie or even your kids. You can rest on any day, it doesn't have to be on a Sunday. What will work for you and your family around school and work? The rest we need varies week to week. What kind of rest are you needing this week? Do you need one or all three kinds of rest? The hardest part is sticking to rest. Schedule it like you would an appointment if you need to.

Have you noticed moments—just like your kids—when comparison, impatience, or selfishness reveal areas where God is still growing your heart? Do you ever feel stuck in a spiritual “baby stage,” repeating the same routines and wrestling with guilt when your priorities slip? Are you willing to let God mature you beyond spiritual milk, even in the exhausting SAHM seasons where your self‑esteem feels low and devotions feel hard to keep up? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting comparison and mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is.

It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how motherhood mirrors our spiritual growth from baby to adult so you can see your own spiritual progress with fresh eyes.  Our kids’ behavior reflects our own spiritual tendencies. As we grow, our prayers shift from self‑focused to others‑focused. God delights in our small steps of obedience the way we delight in our kids. Spiritual maturity is a choice, not a timeline.

Do you feel guilty for prioritizing your kids over your marriage but don't know how to stop? Have your SAHM routines pushed your marriage to the bottom of your priority list without realizing it? Are you trying to keep your marriage alive, but aren't sure how with the constant demands of motherhood? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting comparison and mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is. This podcast is for moms who want Biblical encouragement and real‑life devotions. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing why and how to take time to nurture your marriage in the season of motherhood so you can keep your marriage strong even when your kids are demanding all of your time.  Your marriage can’t thrive on autopilot — relationships weaken when they’re not intentionally nurtured. Just like muscles, connection atrophies when ignored, and the longer it’s neglected, the harder it becomes to rebuild. Your kids will be okay when you pause to prioritize your spouse. A stolen hug, a quick kiss, or a five‑minute conversation won’t harm them — but it will strengthen the foundation they depend on. You don’t need elaborate date nights to stay connected. Staying emotionally connected starts with simple habits: greet each other, check in, and make space for real conversation.

Is your view of “husband as head of the house” shaped by Scripture or by tradition, old routines, and comparison? Are you carrying guilt from not following beliefs God never actually asked you to follow? Would your priorities shift if your marriage was an equal partnership rooted in biblical principles and not a hierarchy? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower.

If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing some hard truths about marriage dynamics and how my husband and I navigate them so you can stop comparing your marriage to others and start building your marriage in healthy ways.  Authority doesn't look the same, but it doesn't mean it's not equal. Me Jane, he Tarzan doesn't mean I'm less capable but that the things that I'm the most capable in is different than him – hence partnership. If we want to do something but one of us doesn't agree, we don't do it or at the very least hold off until we have communicated and prayed and come to an agreement. What has God convicted you of verses what are the things you grew up thinking is normal? Don't compare your husband to someone else's. Find the cultural context of Scripture and stop taking it at face value.

Have you ever wondered what God's provision looks like in your everyday life and routines? Do you compare what we experience with Hollywood special effects and wonder if you've missed God working in your life? Does God's provision seem like a good idea, but you don't know what you're looking for? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not-so-secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is. This podcast is for moms who want Biblical encouragement and real‑life devotions. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing 12 real life examples of what God's provision has looked like in my life so you can start seeing God's provision in your own life. What is the provision of the Lord? It's the not-so-glamorous things that happen to provide exactly what we need, not necessarily what we want. God's provision is: Unwanted direction.  Generosity. Knowledge and skills. Desperation and exhaustion. The death of pride. "No". Just enough. Things lasting when they shouldn't. Community. Peace that defies the situation. Affliction. Small.

Do you ever feel like you’re trying to clean up more than just the messes in your home? Have you noticed how some sins that stain your heart don’t wash out no matter what you do? Are you feeling like you have to fix every mess on your own, but it just won't work? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower.

In this episode, I’m sharing a revelation about sin when my efforts to wash out washable markers epically failed so you can be encouraged about how God can redeem and wash the sin-stained parts of our hearts.  We can’t cleanse ourselves from sin—only Jesus can. Forgiveness is instant, but redemption is a process. Sin may leave consequences, but it never outruns God’s redemption. God’s cleansing is complete, powerful, and rooted in His love.

Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and hated your body? Do you wonder if there is any way to stop comparing your mom bod to what it was and loving how it is now? Are you hoping you can love yourself again someday? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting comparison and mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is. This podcast is for moms who want Biblical encouragement and real‑life devotions. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing an amazing conversation about self-esteem, comparison, and loving your body with the lovely and fabulous Ashley Perry Lambert, host of the Fat Loss Momentum Podcast, so you can be encouraged and see your mom bod as the beautiful vessel it is.  God uses our broken times to draw us closer to him. You are so much more that what your body looks like. You can come to peace with your walk with God having to look different in motherhood. When God removes something, he replaces it with something better. Spiritual health is a part of being healthy and maintaining health. There is so much strength in motherhood. Becoming a mother helps you become selfless. Allowing God to transform you from the inside out is the only way for true transformation. Ask the Lord to reveal to you who you truly are outside of the titles and roles and believe him. The Lord has you in this season for a reason. Comparison is the thief of joy.

Have you ever been afraid to pray? Has your fear of God's answer ever paralyzed your prayers in your throat? Have you been afraid God would bring the very thing you are praying against to pass? Have you thought that if you relinquished control and surrendered something to God then, of course, He was going to take it away? You aren’t alone. I have struggled with all these thoughts and so many more. Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not-so-secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is. This podcast is for moms who want Biblical encouragement and real‑life devotions. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing a time when I didn't want to pray because of fear, shame and guilt so you can find God's faithfulness in our failures.  Fear can make prayer feel dangerous, especially when we’re afraid of God’s answer. God is a Good Father who gives good gifts, even when His answers stretch our trust. Suffering shapes families, but we choose whether it makes us bitter or draws us closer to God. God listens to imperfect, fear‑filled prayers and still works for our good. Trust grows when we surrender what we can’t control and ask God to help our unbelief.

Does motherhood feel like it’s derailed your priorities and canceled your calling? Are you stuck in routines that make you wonder How God could use this season of wiping butts for anything meaningful? Do you ever feel guilty for wasting time even though your whole day is spent serving your family? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not-so-secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is. This podcast is for moms who want Biblical encouragement and real‑life devotions. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how God is using a 20-year-old mistake so you can be encouraged when you look back on your past.  Nothing you walk through is wasted. God uses every season, even the messy ones, to shape you. Your mistakes and wasted time don't limit what you can do now and in the future. Your mistakes and wasted time don’t disqualify you. They often become the very tools God uses to equip you. Growth takes time. Running from or ignoring your calling doesn’t cancel it. SAHM life is exhausting, and the routines can feel endless, but this season can grow you in ways nothing else can — stretching your patience, your priorities, redefining your self‑esteem, and your dependence on God. Motherhood isn’t undoing you; it’s refining you. God is using even the emotional cliffs and chaotic days to build strength, wisdom, and compassion in you.

Are you exhausted from trying to keep up with the constant change, of mom life? Do you ever get so overwhelmed by the “trees” in your life that you forget there is life outside of your problems? Have you found yourself grieving old routines and seasons that it is impossible to find anything good in your current circumstances? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower.

It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing the slow journey of navigating big changes so you can find hope and peace as you navigate those rapid changes of SAHM life.   Big life changes can make us lose sight of the bigger picture. Focusing only on what’s hard blinds us to the good still in front of us. Every season has purpose, even the overwhelming ones. Survival-mode moments deepen our dependence on God. God is with us while we are slogging through the forest.

Do you ever see your kids’ behavior and suddenly realize, “That’s exactly what I do to God”? Have you been rejected by your child and wondered if that’s how God still loves us when we push Him away? Are you carrying guilt because motherhood keeps exposing the parts of you God is still gently shaping? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not-so-secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is.

If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how Motherhood became a Spiritual classroom so you can start growing with your kids.  1. Motherhood reveals how often we fight God just like our kids fight us. 2. Seeing the love of God sprouting in your kids teaches you about grace. 3. Your child’s “I don’t like you” moments help you understand God’s unconditional love. 4. There is purpose in the struggle—for your kids and for you. 5. Your kids’ behavior becomes a living parable of your relationship with God.

Do your kids ask to do things that you don't want to, like dance in public? Have you given into those cute little faces and surprised yourself by actually doing well? What if God is asking you to step out and try new things? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not-so-secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is. This podcast is for moms who want Biblical encouragement and real‑life devotions. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing a devotion on how much trying to draw (not an artist!) has grown me spiritually so you can see those boundary stretching things in a new way.  Trying matters more than perfection — to your kids and to God. Your children delight in your presence, not your skill level — and God delights in your obedience the same way. You can do more than you think because God has already prepared good works for you (Ephesians 2:10). Fear of failure keeps us stuck in old identities, but trying builds confidence and spiritual maturity. When we stop trying, we miss out on discovering the gifts God has placed in us.

I’ll help you lean into how God made you, by reconnecting you to your faith and growing from there.  So come join me in the Time for Mom Breakthrough Workshop, so I can take years off your journey to becoming the mom you want to be so you can enjoy life without the mom guilt.

How do you prioritize choices in the gray areas of life that are beneficial for your kids, your home, and your marriage?

Join the private Facebook group and reserve your spot using this link: https://bit.ly/timeformomcommunity  Look in the featured posts. On to today's episode! In this episode, I’m sharing 6 ways to overcome that mommy burnout so you can start thriving in motherhood.  Adjust your expectations. Keep trying. Give yourself some grace. Your child is doing this life thing for the first time, and so are you. You are both going to mess up, and when you do, you have to try again. You will need to nap too. Take care of you. You are so important to your family, your husband and your kids. If you neglect yourself, eventually your physical mental and spiritual health will crumble. And when that happens, you won't be able to be a mom, you'll be a basket case. Remember your marriage. Your kids need a father just as much as they need you. You need your spouse and he needs you.

In this episode, I’m sharing about lessons on habitual sins inspired from coughing fits so you can be encouraged to break free from those things that are causing guilt in your SAHM life.  Some truths about habitual sin: Habitual sin will rob you of joy, peace, innocence, relationships, health. Habitual sin breaks trust and causes a cascade of problems. Habitual sin keeps you on edge. You're constantly on guard, trying to keep from being caught. Trying not to say the wrong thing or let on that you're doing whatever you're doing. Your character will eventually start to be warped by the very thing you are hiding. Sin gets so comfortable it seems like a snug, warm coat. Wrapped tight on a cold day and it's not until you get back inside that you realize what you thought was a snug, warm coat is a straitjacket that is robbing you of true freedom. Sin is a robber, thief, and vandal. Sin vandalizes the beautiful parts of your spirit causing unerasable damage. You might repair it, but you're never going to be the same. Praise God that He works with imperfect people. Here are five things that helped me in the fight against habitual sin. Find an accountability partner or two or three! As many as you need. Be rid of anything that you currently have that is helping you fall into sin. For some people this means actively avoiding specific places or people. For others this means filling the spaces with people who fill them with life. Read the Bible as often as you can. Listen to it on your phone. Scripture is a powerful tool. Pray. Any time you feel tempted, pray and reach out to those accountability partners so that they can join you in prayer. The power of prayer is compounded when you are joined by fellow believers. Worship.

Do you absolutely dread being asked to do new things? Have you had to turn away from your kids when they are trying something new that wouldn't hurt them, it just offended your adult sensibilities? Has God asked you to do something new, but you're paralyzed? (Are you wondering how these things are related?) If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not-so-secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is. This podcast is for moms who want Biblical encouragement and real‑life devotions. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing the importance of trying, trusting and being obedient to God's direction so you can grow with a few less growing pains than I: How often does God tell me to do something and I'm like, "Um, no."? What would happen if I was actually obedient the first time God asked me to do something? Wouldn't the outcome mean that I learned something about myself or God? Wouldn't I grow in confidence in God? Wouldn't the outcome mean that God is still using me to further his Kingdom and glory even though sometimes it feels like I'm just stuck at home being a mom? God is right there saying, "Please try and see what happens. I'm here. I will catch you. It might not end how you imagine, but you're going to be okay. You're going to grow and you're going to be more confident because you did try. You didn't let life paralyze you." My responsibility is start and trust God. The outcome is up to God, not me and He can turn any mess I make into a masterpiece.  Just start, be obedient, and let God do the rest.

Do you stare at the sea of toys of junk in your children's room and just want to burn it all? Are you wishing there was a way to restore peace and order without being eaten by guilt at those sad little faces? Does the chaos in your child's room look like your spirit feels? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower.

It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing physical and spiritual decluttering tips so you can make room for Jesus and those new goodies as we move into the new year.  3 Guilt-Free Pre-Christmas (or Post-Christmas) Decluttering Questions: Was this toy broken? Was this toy fixable or beyond hope of repair? Was this actual garbage? What toys did the girls not play with or had grown out of? What did we just not have room for? Would it kill or traumatize my children if I got rid of them (the toys, not the kids)? What was the benefit of decluttering for my kids? They didn’t miss what was broken, outgrown, or impractical. With less clutter, they rediscovered joy in what remained. Simplicity made play and cleanup easier, not paralyzing. How often do I refuse God's gifts because I don't want to lose what I have? How often am I like Bethlehem, grousing at noisy shepherds instead of celebrating the gift of the awaited Messiah because the change was very inconvenient? 7 ways can you make room for Jesus in the New Year: Declutter – Physically and Spiritually. Take a media fast, replacing the app with a Bible app like YouVersion. Check out Author Mary Demuth's book, 90-Day Bible Reading Challenge. Set time aside to sit in silence. Pray and listen. This goes hand in hand with sitting in silence. Memorize a verse and meditate on it. Repeat the process throughout the year. Read or listen to your Bible. Set aside time to worship the Lord.

Book your FREE 30 minute Time for Mom breakthrough https://bit.ly/timeformomcoaching Offer ends December 25, 2025 In this episode, I’m sharing 12 ways my introverted self and family keep our mental health and still enjoys the Christmas chaos so you can make good memories without the emotional fallout.  Step outside and breathe in the 30° or 80° air, depending on where you live. Bundle up (or not) and take a walk. Maybe take your dog with you. Retreat to your room for a few chapters of a good book. Get up early, before everyone else, read your Bible, spend some time in prayer, maybe some journalling. Grab a relative you haven't had a chance to visit with to go on a walk or drive. Stop being a stuffy adult and play with the kids. Just make sure you wear pants with a little give, so they don't split. Take a nap. Trade knock-knock jokes with your nieces and nephews. Put a puzzle together. Give yourself and/or your family some grace. It's going to be okay if the food is a little over cooked, the sink is full, and the house is cluttered. Remember to breathe. As long as everyone is still alive and mostly un-injured after a Christmas gathering, it's been a success. Don't put so much pressure on yourself to make it special. I have lots of good memories from the things that weren't perfect. The perfect things tend to fade into oblivion. Jesus is the reason for the season. He came to have a family, a big one. Our families are a blessing we often don't treasure until they are gone, especially with how rushed we live our lives. Treasure the moments now, because they will be a treasure later.

Have you watched someone fall apart and think, "That's no big deal. Why are they being so stupid?" Do you bear the scars from people's careless words when you were needing a community instead of a judge? Why is it so much easier to have compassion for a struggling child than it is a struggling adult? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not-so-secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is. This podcast is for moms who want Biblical encouragement and real‑life devotions. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing a snowstorm inspired lesson of compassion so you can see your struggles and the struggles of others in a new light.  It's easy to discount other people's struggles. What isn't a big deal to me, is for another. What is easy to deal with for one person may make me want to curl up in a ball and cry. What I am equipped physically and spiritually to handle, is not the same as the next person. Here are 7 things that you can do or not do to show compassion to your friends and family when they are struggling in life: Listen. Do not interject with a "It could be worse.", that makes it worse. Let them lament and be compassionate. Only offer advice after being asked and go forward with prayer. Please don't talk about how the enemy is attacking them, let alone stand there and rebuke demons. That's not always the case and saying things like that creates a lot of hurt, confusion, and sometimes even bitterness against you. Love them where they are, in the midst of their heartache. Silence is okay, especially in grief. Sit with them, again, silence is okay and even preferred. Job's friends sat with him in his grief and torment. When they tried to justify his circumstances and perceived 'punishment', they got rebuked by God. Romans 12:15, "Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep."

Are you struggling to find anything to be thankful for this Thanksgiving? Do you listen to all the gratitude lists from others and just think, "Yeah, I'm not feeling it…" Are you pasting on a smile, wishing the holidays were over already? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower.

It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing 7 things that I use to find gratitude and thankfulness in hard times so you can cut a few years off your journey towards choosing gratitude.  Remind yourself of what God has done. Remind yourself of the goodness of God. Listen to things that encourage you: The Bible, music, even podcasts. Gratitude is a choice. It's not effortless. Pray for God to reveal things you can be thankful for. Grief must be allowed. Remember: God is with you. You aren't in this alone.

Today's devotion is based on a hunting experience. If hunting is offensive or triggering for you, please stop and listen to next Friday's devotion.   Have you faced discouragement when your plans failed? Did you do everything right, only to have everything go wrong? Are you at a loss of how to keep going? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not-so-secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is.

If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing our complete and utterly failed plans led to a blessing that couldn't have happened without our failure so you can be encouraged when your plans don't work out.  We found ourselves praising God for all the things that didn't work out as planned. We had our plans, but God's purpose that prevailed. God's blessings and provision rarely look like I think they should. Life never happens how I want it to, but that doesn't mean God's hand isn't in the circumstance. God is always in the thick of life with us.
