Time for Mom | Self-Esteem, Routines, Mom Guilt, Priorities, Comparison, Devotional, Self-Worth

***Top 2.5% Globally Ranked Podcast***

Do you long for time to spend with Jesus? Have you found yourself needing a hug from your husband, so you feel wanted? Do you feel guilty wishing there was more to your life than wiping noses and doing dishes? Are you drowning in the responsibilities of just being Mom? Do you wonder why your pre-mom routines are no longer working?

I am so excited that you are here! This podcast will help find peace with the time you do have, start rebuilding routines you need to stay sane, invite you to see yourself how God sees you, and find joy in motherhood.
Hi, I’m Cheryl! Wife, SAHM of two girls, Mom Mentor and Jesus follower. For years, I struggled to fit myself into the same routines, spiritual habits and identity I had as a newly married woman.
I was frustrated, discouraged and depressed when all I felt at the end of the day was worthless because I couldn’t accomplish all the things I used to be able to do.
I finally realized in trying to meet everyone’s needs except my own, I had forgotten who I was and, if I was going to have any joy in motherhood, I had to discover who I had become.
I had to rediscover my identity, prioritize my mental, spiritual, and even physical health so I could be the mom my girls needed.
If you’re ready to ditch the mom guilt for peace, find Jesus in the middle of the dishes, and love yourself like your babies do, this podcast is for you.
Grab your ear pods and start folding laundry, this is Time for Mom.

Are you tired of trying to make changes in your life and feeling guilty when they don't work?
Do you want to make routines that help you stick with your New Year's goal?
Is God nudging you to make some changes, you're ready to start, but you need some encouragement?
If so, you’re in the right place. 
Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not-so-secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is. This podcast is for moms who want Biblical encouragement and real‑life devotions. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom.
In this episode, I’m sharing 3 heart-check questions to ask so you can move forward with your New Year, New You goals with confidence.
Are your New Year's resolutions or current goals set by you or set by God?
What are your motives? What's the root of your decision?
What can you STOP doing? We are vessels with a limited capacity.
You don't have to do big changes to change your life. One small change, one choice, can change everything.
If you're wanting some help, I am hosting a Time for Mom breakthrough workshop at the end of January. We will walk through simple ways for you to find the time you've been searching for: time for God, your family, and even for yourself. Motherhood is exhausting and sometimes you just need a friend to talk things through. Go to https://bit.ly/timeformomworkshopto subscribe and get all the details before everyone else!

Do you absolutely dread being asked to do new things?
Have you had to turn away from your kids when they are trying something new that wouldn't hurt them, it just offended your adult sensibilities?
Has God asked you to do something new, but you're paralyzed?
(Are you wondering how these things are related?)
If so, you’re in the right place. 
Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not-so-secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is. This podcast is for moms who want Biblical encouragement and real‑life devotions. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom.
In this episode, I’m sharing the importance of trying, trusting and being obedient to God's direction so you can grow with a few less growing pains than I:
How often does God tell me to do something and I'm like, "Um, no."? What would happen if I was actually obedient the first time God asked me to do something?
Wouldn't the outcome mean that I learned something about myself or God? Wouldn't I grow in confidence in God?
Wouldn't the outcome mean that God is still using me to further his Kingdom and glory even though sometimes it feels like I'm just stuck at home being a mom?
God is right there saying, "Please try and see what happens. I'm here. I will catch you. It might not end how you imagine, but you're going to be okay. You're going to grow and you're going to be more confident because you did try. You didn't let life paralyze you."
My responsibility is start and trust God. The outcome is up to God, not me and He can turn any mess I make into a masterpiece. 
Just start, be obedient, and let God do the rest.

In today's episode, the day before Christmas, I am going to read the story of Jesus' birth found in Luke 1:26-Luke 2:40 as well as a tiny piece from Matthew 1:18-24. While preparing for today's episode I actually found a blunder I made in a recent devotion I wrote. No matter how many times I have read this part of the Bible, I always find something new. I hope you do too. Enjoy

Do you stare at the sea of toys of junk in your children's room and just want to burn it all?
Are you wishing there was a way to restore peace and order without being eaten by guilt at those sad little faces?
Does the chaos in your child's room look like your spirit feels?
If so, you’re in the right place. 
Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower.

It’s Time for Mom.
In this episode, I’m sharing physical and spiritual decluttering tips so you can make room for Jesus and those new goodies as we move into the new year. 
3 Guilt-Free Pre-Christmas (or Post-Christmas) Decluttering Questions:
Was this toy broken? Was this toy fixable or beyond hope of repair? Was this actual garbage?
What toys did the girls not play with or had grown out of?
What did we just not have room for? Would it kill or traumatize my children if I got rid of them (the toys, not the kids)?
What was the benefit of decluttering for my kids?
They didn’t miss what was broken, outgrown, or impractical.
With less clutter, they rediscovered joy in what remained.
Simplicity made play and cleanup easier, not paralyzing.
How often do I refuse God's gifts because I don't want to lose what I have? How often am I like Bethlehem, grousing at noisy shepherds instead of celebrating the gift of the awaited Messiah because the change was very inconvenient?
7 ways can you make room for Jesus in the New Year:
Declutter – Physically and Spiritually.
Take a media fast, replacing the app with a Bible app like YouVersion. Check out Author Mary Demuth's book, 90-Day Bible Reading Challenge.
Set time aside to sit in silence.
Pray and listen. This goes hand in hand with sitting in silence.
Memorize a verse and meditate on it. Repeat the process throughout the year.
Read or listen to your Bible.
Set aside time to worship the Lord.

Christmas can be celebrated on days other than Christmas Day or Christmas Eve
Have honest conversations about presents – reducing the amount your kids get or reducing the financial strain because of tradition.
Think of things that can be made rather than purchased: Food, crafts, hand crafted items… Pinterest is your best friend!
Celebrate with the in-laws on alternate years.
Have open conversation with your spouse on travel and what actually works with you, your kids, and your finances. It's okay to not travel for a season.

In this episode, I’m sharing 12 ways my introverted self and family keep our mental health and still enjoys the Christmas chaos so you can make good memories without the emotional fallout. 
Step outside and breathe in the 30° or 80° air, depending on where you live.
Bundle up (or not) and take a walk. Maybe take your dog with you.
Retreat to your room for a few chapters of a good book.
Get up early, before everyone else, read your Bible, spend some time in prayer, maybe some journalling.
Grab a relative you haven't had a chance to visit with to go on a walk or drive.
Stop being a stuffy adult and play with the kids. Just make sure you wear pants with a little give, so they don't split.
Take a nap.
Trade knock-knock jokes with your nieces and nephews.
Put a puzzle together.
Give yourself and/or your family some grace. It's going to be okay if the food is a little over cooked, the sink is full, and the house is cluttered.
Remember to breathe. As long as everyone is still alive and mostly un-injured after a Christmas gathering, it's been a success.
Don't put so much pressure on yourself to make it special. I have lots of good memories from the things that weren't perfect. The perfect things tend to fade into oblivion.
Jesus is the reason for the season. He came to have a family, a big one. Our families are a blessing we often don't treasure until they are gone, especially with how rushed we live our lives.
Treasure the moments now, because they will be a treasure later.

Have you watched someone fall apart and think, "That's no big deal. Why are they being so stupid?"
Do you bear the scars from people's careless words when you were needing a community instead of a judge?
Why is it so much easier to have compassion for a struggling child than it is a struggling adult?
If so, you’re in the right place. 
Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not-so-secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is. This podcast is for moms who want Biblical encouragement and real‑life devotions. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom.
In this episode, I’m sharing a snowstorm inspired lesson of compassion so you can see your struggles and the struggles of others in a new light. 
It's easy to discount other people's struggles.
What isn't a big deal to me, is for another. What is easy to deal with for one person may make me want to curl up in a ball and cry. What I am equipped physically and spiritually to handle, is not the same as the next person.
Here are 7 things that you can do or not do to show compassion to your friends and family when they are struggling in life:
Listen. Do not interject with a "It could be worse.", that makes it worse.
Let them lament and be compassionate.
Only offer advice after being asked and go forward with prayer.
Please don't talk about how the enemy is attacking them, let alone stand there and rebuke demons. That's not always the case and saying things like that creates a lot of hurt, confusion, and sometimes even bitterness against you.
Love them where they are, in the midst of their heartache.
Silence is okay, especially in grief.
Sit with them, again, silence is okay and even preferred. Job's friends sat with him in his grief and torment. When they tried to justify his circumstances and perceived 'punishment', they got rebuked by God.
Romans 12:15, "Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep."

Do you wish you appreciated Christmas decorations as much as your kids do?
Have you fought guilt as your kids stop to wonder and you hustle them to the next scheduled event?
Are you fighting the urge to break down because you can't seem to find that healthy balance of wonder and perfection? Wait… is that even possible?
If you said yes to any of these things, you’re in the right place.

I learned the not-so-secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is. This podcast is for moms who want Biblical encouragement and real‑life devotions. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom.
In this episode, I’m sharing about a gentle reminder God placed in my life so you can see Christmas with the wonder of a child again.
Children remind us:
Be excited to give gifts.
Christmas trees are beautiful.
Every hint of snow is a reason for celebration!
Seeing aunts, uncles and cousins is a complete treat.
