In a culture trying to sell us the lie that we should be anything but “just a mom”, the Joy Filled Podcast exists to come alongside you and help you thrive in this season at home and experience the fullness of joy in the simplicity of homemaking and raising a family. The early years of motherhood are hard, but they’re so so good. I’m determined to give these ‘good old days’ everything I’ve got and I’m bringing you along with me. We’ll host honest conversations on faith, motherhood, homemaking, and everything in between. My prayer is that you leave encouraged in Christ, equipped to carry the weight of motherhood with joy, and reminded of the truth that God has given you everything you need to steward your arrows well. There is so much joy here. Let’s experience it together.

Have you ever felt guilty for taking time away from your family to rest, recharge, or do something for yourself? Even if it’s just 30 minutes, there can often be so much guilt that surfaces when we as moms take time away from our families. Maybe it’s society, maybe it’s how we were raised, maybe it’s brought on by our own inner dialogues and expectations for ourselves, but for some reason, there seems to be this unspoken rule that moms aren’t allowed to think of themselves.
So today, we're diving into why we seem to neglect rest, why rest is important, and how to rest the right way.

How can we see God even in the messy mundane moments of motherhood? The answer might be more simple than you think. See, it’s easy to feel far from God in this season of life – you’re busy, you’re tired, you hardly have a moment to yourself these days. But God’s Word promises us that if we seek Him, we will find Him. The more we look for Him, the more we’ll begin to see evidence of His goodness all over our lives. Yes, even in the chaos and the mess.

Winter is... hard. Especially as a stay at home mom. The snow that was once magical, beautiful, and leaving us all full of Christmas wonder in December is now just another annoying reminder that we've still got a ways to go until spring. The days are gloomy and often dark. We're spending entirely too much time stuck inside with our kids no matter how hard we try to get them outside. Like I said, winter is hard.
As a mom who's had my fair share of years dealing with the winter blues, I know it can be difficult to navigate struggling internally while still facing the pressures and daily responsibilities that motherhood inevitably brings. Which is why today I want to share 4 easy ways to support your mental health this winter.
These tips are easy to implement and based on my own experiences, so they're sure to help you thrive even in the gloomy days of winter.

You asked, I answered! When it comes to Christmas, everybody wants to tell you how you should or shouldn’t celebrate and that can be so overwhelming in the early years of motherhood as you figure out what is right for your family. So, I polled my Instagram community for what your biggest Christmas questions are and am answering them ALL in this episode! We talk Santa, presents, traditions, and more. As always, I hope you walk away encouraged (and maybe get some new ideas while you’re at it!)
