Do you ever feel like you’re doing so much for everyone else, but nobody sees how hard you’re working? Between feeding your baby, managing naps, working, and keeping your home running, motherhood can feel exhausting and unseen.

In this episode, I’m joined by author, speaker, and mom Jenessa Wait for a conversation about how God sees you in this season, even when your days feel repetitive and you wonder if you’re moving forward.

We talk about recognizing God’s work in everyday motherhood, knowing when to wait and when to take a step of faith, and making room for your gifts and dreams without adding more pressure to your plate. Jenessa also shares encouragement from her book, Moving with God, for the mom who feels stuck or wonders, “Is this all I’m doing with my life right now?”

Mama, the work that goes unnoticed still matters. And you do, too.

What does postpartum really look like behind closed doors, and why don’t we spend as much time preparing for life after birth as we do preparing for the birth itself?

In this episode, I’m joined by Nina Spears, Founder and CEO of Baby Chick and author of The Baby Chick Guide to Positive Pregnancy. We’re talking about the realities of postpartum and life with a new baby, including the hidden mental load of motherhood, the pressure to have a picture-perfect experience, and the practical support new moms actually need.

Nina shares how moms can prepare their mindset, body, relationship, support system, and home for the transition into parenthood. We also discuss how partners can become proactive members of the postpartum team instead of waiting to be told what to do.

Whether you’re currently pregnant, newly postpartum, or already navigating motherhood with a young baby, this conversation will help you feel more prepared, supported, and understood.
