How to Stop the Hustle and Find Your Purpose
Mommy Jammies
06/27/18 • 35 min
Do you hustle? Are you going from one thing to the next- burning the candle at both ends? I’m so glad you tuned in tonight!
Our guest for tonight’s podcast of the Mommy Jammies Night show is Ana (pronounced Ahna, like the Princess in Frozen!) Willis, They Call Me Blessed. We are talking about how to Stop the Hustle and Find Your Purpose.
About Ana Willis
From Ana’s site, “My name is Ana Willis, I’m the founder of They Call Me Blessed, this inspiring and encouraging online community for moms where you landed today. I’m a pastor, certified health coach, wife of 10 years and blessed homeschool mom to 3 amazing children: Ben, Hadassah, and Ariella.
I’m the creator of 5 Days to Your Best Homeschool Years, Grow Your Blog Partying in 30 Days, Hebrew for Homeschoolers, and the Beyond Blessed Life Planner.”
Show Notes
How does hustle hurt you? Ana shares how her own constant working and serving cost her her health, her finances, and almost her marriage.
What is the definition of hustle? Ana explains how it hurts us in the long run and isn’t God’s best for us.
How do we take our life back from being a slave to the hustle mindset? Ana gives us questions to ask ourselves to make us aware of where we need to make changes.
What are some symptoms of hustling? Muli-tasking, burn out, and more.
This inspiring conversation with Ana will bless you with practical encouragement and action steps to turn from the pursuit of “the next best thing” and turn towards a life of content based on God’s best for us. She shares how listening to Him in the middle of her recovery from stress and burn out turned her life around and gave her a ministry to women today- to claim, “They Call Me Blessed.”
I encourage you to visit her blog and be blessed by her joy and encouragement.

Different options for making money from home.
- Handcrafted items and selling online/ Etsy/ local vendor events (great to do as a family)

How do you know what is right for your situation and budget needs?
- All work from home opportunities come with risk, some more than others.
- To some degree all work from home opportunities have start up costs and require extra time devoted to the building of its foundation.
- Some things require skill immediately and others require just a passion to begin. All will require effort and attention to grow and sustain.
- It is important to sit down with your spouse and discuss the following:
- What job will work best for your personality and skill set?
- What job do you see as being something you can potentially stick with and continue building long term?
- Are there any budget concerns that need to be addressed when it pertains to start up costs with one vs. another?
- What is the end goal of your pursuing this? Is this meant to be a hobby or a legitimate income source? How much are you expected to bring in per month and what is the expectation for hours worked?
Choosing to work from home can be very satisfying on many levels. For my personality, I need something that feels like mine separate from homemaking and homeschooling. I pour my creative energy into what I do and it is therapeutic. It also fulfills a need for us financially and that is important too.

Faithfulness and Endurance During Life’s Biggest Hurts with Jen Grice (Scroll down to the playbar to listen to the audio.)
Faithfulness + Endurance Through Life’s Biggest Hurts
George Mueller is known for saying, ‘To learn strong faith is to endure great trials. I have learned my faith by standing firm amid severe testings.”
Just like George Mueller and some of the other people I’ll be talking about, I too have learned my faith and learned to endure through my life’s biggest hurt.
If you’re a homeschooling mom like myself, you read the story of George Mueller and how his faith helped him to feed and house thousands of orphans. I just love hearing stories about how other people have used faith to survive. We actually read through the Christian Heroes Then And Now book, about George Mueller, while I was going through my divorce trial. It opened my eyes to the fact that...
God uses life’s hardest times to bring His sons and daughters to a place where their only hope is found in their faith in Him.
I was one of those people who said, it won’t happen to me... it won’t happen to us. We’ll never divorce... I’m “married for life.” We can’t control the actions and choices of other people, our husbands, our family or our friends... so sometimes we get hurt. Sometimes we have to deal with suffering. I’ve never been sold into slavery but I was told to get out of my mother’s home at the young age of 16, with nowhere to go. I’ve never been to jail. But I’ve been confined to a hospital bed, pregnant, struggling to survive while people I considered family pretended I didn’t exist.
Betrayal. Treachery. Pain. Humiliation. Falsely accused. Unjust punishment and suffering. Feeling alone and forgotten.
Anyone else experience these hurts before? I think we’d all agree that these are the biggest. And they can prove to be the biggest threat to our faith as well.
It’s even more painful when we experience these things, from family, or from someone who vowed to love, honor, and cherish you for life.
These are the very feelings Genesis Joseph felt as he faced trials that were inflicted on him because of the choices of others. Sin causes problems. And usually innocent victims feel the brunt of the pain of someone else’s sinful heart. And we don’t always get what we expect out of life. Those biggest hurts... tend to disrupt our life’s focus.
I know I expected to get married and then stay that way until I died. I expected my husband to stay faithful only to me. After that I expected him to repent of his behaviors, get help and spiritual guidance, and then stop the sin. But that’s not what happened. I was betrayed and then served divorce papers... and told I was the one forsaking.
Someone walked out and then God walked in.
He said, never will I leave you. Never will I forsake you. (Hebrew 13:5)
Joseph learned to depend on God for everything. So have I. Our Father took very good care of us discarded people. Providence was there the whole time. I had no idea how I was going to get through this but I knew where to look for guidance. I spent a lot of time reading God’s Word. I felt so much like Joseph. I felt betrayed. I was being blamed and feeling humiliated.
Even in my pain and anger at God, because of my situation, I knew there was more to my situation. I knew my faith was being tested. I remembered verses about growing my faith. But my eyes would look at my circumstances and I was afraid and felt alone. When the promises were easy to forget I would write them on my bathroom mirror and on my forearm... just trying to keep my faith.
And I’m here to share I’ve made it through... and to encourage you too with my story.
Through my life’s biggest trial, struggles and pain, I’ve learned these three things about faithfulness and endurance.
#1 : God is always with us – guiding, comforting, and protecting us
#2: We grow in faith as we endure
#3: God has a purpose for pain – a divine destiny
Our response to life’s biggest hurts? Faithfulness and endurance. To recap we do this by remembering that God is always with us, growing in our faith as we endure, and looking out for the purpose for our pain and suffering.
If that’s you right now, I want to encourage you! You can and will get through this too. God is with you! Slow and steady wins the race... we just have to keep pushing forward.

Dealing with Mom Guilt with Felice Gerwitz
Overcoming Mommy Guilt (Scroll ALL THE WAY DOWN to get to the player)
We’ve all done it – you know thinking we are not good enough or it is all our fault. Where did I go wrong – what could I have done differently –
When I was expecting my first child I thought – how can it be that hard? I was a teacher and handled an entire classroom of kids, one little kid can’t be difficult after that!
I was filled with my own self importance, my own skill set – my own...well, degree! I had an education degree in Early Childhood, Elementary Ed and Specific Learning Disabilities – I was degreed for K-12 I was all set, right?Wrong!
Along came Neal, this beautiful bundle of joy – and he was the first and most perfect baby. He slept well and for hours, he barely cried, he nursed really well. In fact, I thought he was the easiest child ever! And, compared to my other four he was a very easy baby...
But fast forward and let me tell you I began to second guess every decision because the experts began to weigh in.
Well meaning family members, friends, the lady next door – everyone was an expert!
I began listening to my friends talk about their kids and their parenting methods were all over the board from the way permissive to the super, super strict—train up a child and that is the way he will grow crowd and don’t spare the rod crowd.
While I was very comfortably somewhere in between I began to realize that moms in general were a mess –
They were threading water – barely surviving.
I listened to people share:
- I’m not good enough
- I’m going to ruin my children
- I’m not an expert
- My kids are going to grow up to hate me which is why I am going to be sure to spoil them
- It is all my fault!
Friends – if you hear nothing else I say ...please hear this. IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT – Let me repeat that – IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT.
As a Christian we have the tools to be super parents
– after all as Christians aren’t we heirs of the KINGDOM isn’t GOD OUR FATHER? Didn’t God promise not to forsake us but to send HIS spirit to guide us?
I understand you are on overload – I understand your child may be lost – and you know what? God has given us and them free will...
We can not mold our children in our image – however we can introduce them to the Almighty God
And we often preach to the choir – we ask our children to do the heavy lifting – to demonstrate to us God’s love and to show us they really understand.
We can see their walk with the Lord in the fruit they demonstrate
And if we don’t like that fruit – guess what? It is up to us to pray. And we pray – God do this and this and this – NO – we need to pray YOUR WILL LORD NOT MINE
God did not give us a spirit of fear New International Version 2Timothy 1:7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or ...
Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will neverleave you nor forsake you. .... and hope; unto us is this gospel preached, as well as unto them; he will never fail thee, nor forsake thee, Heb 13:5.
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit...17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and He will be in you. 18I will not leave you as orphans;I will come to you. 19In a little while, the world will see Me no more...

Mary or Martha?

Which are you? Mary? or Martha?
with Featured Speaker – Linda Lacour Hobar
Mary and Martha Decide to Homeschool – a Workshop for Mary’s
Let’s pretend that Mary and Martha decide to homeschool. Following their character, Martha would probably have all her plans in place (and be frustrated), and Mary would probably be at the feet of Jesus (and way behind schedule.) We all have a little of Mary and Martha in us, but this workshop is designed to encourage Mary’s – who love the Lord and their children, but need help and structure to successfully homeschool. The presenter of this workshop is a self-proclaimed Mary (Linda Lacour Hobar, author of The Mystery of History) who managed to homeschool for 17 years, and still likes to talk about it.
~ From Felice –
Be sure to have a pen and paper handy there is so much amazing info here!!
About Linda: author of The Mystery of History, is a self-proclaimed “people-person”, a fan of comfortable high-heels, and a passionate follower of Jesus Christ. Through homeschooling her children, and service as a missionary, she discovered a genuine love for world history where famous and not-so-famous people have shaped time itself by the mighty hand of God. In the year 2000, Linda sensed a clear call to write The Mystery of History series for her children, grandchildren, and generations to come.

The Work Life Homeschool Balance Myth
Mommy Jammies
03/29/19 • 9 min
This Mommy Jammies Podcast is sponsored by exSTEMsions {exSTEMsions, grows mathematicians, critical thinkers, and problem solvers through an online subscription based problem solving math program} for kids ages 10 and up. Co-owned and developed by two teachers turned homeschooling moms working to balance their own version of life, homeschool, and work. Visit exSTEMsions for a free trial today.
Which brings us to the topic of today’s podcast: The Work, Life, Homeschool Balance Myth. {If you’re listening online, scroll to the bottom of the post to find the audio player. }
Subscribe to Mommy Jammies Podcast.
Find me on Facebook.
The Myth of Balance
Balance. What is it anyway? You might be surprised (I know I was) to learn that balance has to do with an equality of passions. As Webster’s 1828 tells us, “As balance signifies equal weight, or equality, it is by custom used for the weight or sum necessary to make two unequal weights or sums equal; that which is necessary to bring them to a balance or equipoise. ”
And now we know why balance is a myth.
There is no way we can ascribe equality to the moving pieces of our lives, especially when we are talking about our children. Why do moms agonize over going back to work, taking time for themselves, or even taking a weekend away with their spouse. I think it’s because as moms, we are always balancing the needs of our family against every other need.
So, you guessed it — there’s always a certain amount of imbalance.
This also means that the other things vying for importance, will become “most important” at certain times and not at others. The struggle is real! And it’s OKAY.
Tips to Keep Things Moving
So, what’s a girl to do? Well, first let’s keep things moving. This means evaluating our priorities. ( Listen to the previous podcasts, Developing a Wholehearted Business Mindset or Recovering from Burnout).
Once we have our priorities outlined, they deserve the attention that systems and processes in your business along with a doable schedule at home can provide.
Some ideas to outline your priorities in this way include:
- keeping a simple schedule
- asking for help from your spouse and older children or even grandparents
- scheduling your time in three blocks – work time, school time, family time
- organize your homeschool, home, life, and business
Eyes on the Prize
In the end, it’s helpful to keep our eyes on the prize. Why are we trying to do all.the.things anyway? What’s our goal? Why do we want a business, ministry, or work at home career?
If by your providing additional income to your family helps you to stay home with your children, and that’s one of your goals, remind yourself of that very thing.
This helps you count all the chaos as blessing.
The truth is, yes, we are sometimes checking our phones with kids in tow while dropping our oldest off at Japanese lessons. But, we’re doing this in the middle of the day, around our own schedules, accommodating the needs of our family. That freedom is priceless.
And learning to, not balance anything, but give priority to the things that we’re called to do, is a beautiful thing.
Action Step:
This week, make a list of all of the reasons you are thankful for the chaos that is working at home.
