Faithful Mama Rising I Overwhelm, Mindset, Marriage, Faith, Identity
Do you ever find yourself wondering, “What am I even doing with my life?”
Do you put yourself in “time-out” just to catch a breath?
Do you ever feel like you belong to everyone else—your husband, your kids, the chores, the commitments—and somewhere along the way, you stopped belonging to yourself?
Well Mama, you are in the right place.
Faithful Mama Rising is a faith-filled podcast for overwhelmed moms who are tired of living in survival mode and ready for calmer days, better rhythms, and fewer meltdowns—yours and theirs.
This is where you’ll start feeling seen, supported, and grounded again… where you finally finish that book you started, make space for the devotional you keep meaning to open, and build routines you can actually stick to—without pressure or perfection.
I’m Mitch—girl mama of two, wife to my hunk-o-hunk of lovin’ husband, Andrew, and a former Mom-ster who once lived knee-deep in overwhelm, resentment, and loneliness.
For years, I believed the right checklist or perfect schedule would magically fix everything. But no amount of planning stopped the Mom-ster from returning—and it definitely didn’t help me feel supported or seen.
Everything changed when I shifted my thinking, got honest about what wasn’t working, and finally asked God what He actually had for me.
Through simple mindset shifts, faith-centered conversations, and practical tools, I learned how to release the pressure of the endless to-do list, ask for help, reconnect with myself, and—get this—be playful again. My lips literally remembered how to smile.
And now? I’m here to walk this journey with you.
If you’re ready to stop chasing quick fixes that only last three days, reclaim the woman God created you to be, and rise out of feeling stuck and into a life of grace, support, and purpose—these are the conversations for you.
So fold the laundry—or don’t (honestly, it’s clean, that’s what matters)—and let’s get our change on.

9- The Hidden Mindset Keeping You Reactive With Your Kids and Husband
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are these questions hitting a little too close to home?
- Do you feel like you're constantly reacting instead of responding — with your husband, your kids, or both?
- Have you ever caught yourself waiting for your partner to change, while secretly wondering why nothing ever gets better?
- Are you putting expectations on your kids that might actually be way beyond where they are developmentally?
If you nodded at any of those, this episode is for you.
What This Episode Is About
If you've ever felt like you're the only one trying in your marriage, or like your kids are just out to get you, this episode is going to hit home. We're digging into the hidden mindset that keeps moms stuck in reactive mode — with their husbands and their kids. Because you cannot fix what you cannot see. I'm sharing the real story of how it took me eleven years to figure out something about my husband Andrew that we had been playing on repeat and it was driving me crazy — and why your kids' behavior might have a lot less to do with attitude and a lot more to do with a brain that's still forming. This is your mindset reset for the relationships that matter most.
