#116b - Refreshed Moms - Supporting Weary Mom Leaders
08/26/22 • 34 min
I've worked with mom leaders and entrepreneurs for over four years now with Refreshed Moms.
I've consulted with so many women around their marketing and business framework because honestly it comes so easy to me, and it was the easiest thing to get paid for when I decided to stay home with my kids 14 years ago.
But, marketing isn't what was in my heart when I started Refreshed Moms. My heart's desire was for moms to be able to sustain the rigor of whatever roles of leadership they were feeling called into while raising their kids.
Cause working, leading, and raising kids - well - is hard to do at the same time.
Here's the thing, there's not enough self-care out there to overcome a spirit that thirsts for the presence of God.
I don't care how many approaches to winding down and releasing stress and tension you come up with. I know without a doubt that the number 1 way to sustain your life and recover from exhaustion is by spending time with God.
Even if your schedule feels too full and your life feels spread too thin.
We've gotta move past the "God understands my season... he knows I want to spend time with him." to "God, I cannot make it unless I spend time with you, so show me how to do it."
Yes, he knows motherhood is hard, yet he's still called you into your work and leadership.
And, he still desires to commune with you while your kids are young so that he can refresh your weary soul.
In this Refreshed Moms episode, I'm sharing the new direction I feel God is calling me into in regards to supporting overcommitted mom leaders who desire to deepen their relationship with God even when life feels too full.
Because the world needs the ministry and leadership you have to give. And I don't want you to give up like I did years ago.

#115b - Restful Work Series - Episode #4: Understanding Your Need for Help
Listen to me: You Need Help.
Yes you do.
I have yet to find a mom who is leading in multiple areas of life (work, business, ministry, homeschool, etc.) who doesn't need help in some kind of way.
But the problem is, we're not very good about asking for it.
We're really good with going down with the ship, but we're challenged when it comes to accepting a life vest.
It's a problem.
Here's the thing: You were not created to go at it alone. You're not even built for it.
YOU. NEED. HELP.
And sometimes, you're the one who is giving the help. It's a beautiful rhythm that God anticipated his creation would experience, and his desire is for us to not have one need among us (can you even fathom this?).
There was a time where I thought the modern church could never live up to the call of supportive, helpful community, but my heart is different now. It is possible. And in this last episode of the Restful Work Series, I'm sharing my thoughts on why you need help in order to do the very work God is requiring of you - as a mom, as a leader, as a women who loves Jesus.
