The Joy Filled Podcast | Christian Motherhood & Encouragement

I remember dropping to my knees on the nursery floor, sobbing because I couldn't get my own baby to sleep, and thinking: maybe I'm just not cut out for this. This week we're naming the quiet lie almost every mom carries — that a good mom should just know — and the shame that grows when motherhood turns out to have a learning curve.

I get honest about that lowest postpartum moment, why a learning curve is not proof you're failing, and the truth that motherhood is learned and Holy Spirit partnered — He fills the gaps you can't. Plus a simple practice for when the lies creep in: name the lie, trace it to the root, trade it for truth, and tend it, over and over again.

This is the exact process I walk you through in my new guide, Shame Off You: A Guilt-to-Grace Reset for Moms — 34 pages of prompts, scripture, and encouragement. It's $17 and live right now.

Not all mom guilt is shame, and not all of it is bad. This week we’re breaking down the real difference between guilt, shame, and conviction: guilt says I did something wrong, shame says I am something wrong, and conviction is the Holy Spirit's nudge toward change.

We talk about what it looks like to make things right with your kids, why conviction always gives you a way out while shame just locks you in, and I get honest about my own struggle with phone time and doom scrolling and share a simple practice for naming a lie, tracing it, and replacing it with truth.
