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 to rise into the woman they're called to be.
This is where you'll start feeling seen, supported, and grounded again… where you'll reconnect with who you actually are and start leading your life on your own terms.
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.
Through real conversations, faith, and learning to actually lead myself, 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.

16- Overwhelmed Isn't the Problem—This Is What's Really Draining You

Have you ever come home to a mountain of things that needed to get done and felt the exhaustion hit before you even started? Have you ever stood in the middle of your own life — the one you love — and felt completely buried by it? Have you ever thought it's all up to me and felt the weight of that land in your chest before you could even take a breath?
Mama, that moment isn't weakness. But it might be telling you something you've been missing.
In this episode, I get real about a season that brought me to my knees — and how the overwhelm I was drowning in was spilling into every corner of my life. My mindset. My marriage. My identity. My faith. When everything feels like it's on you and you're running on empty, it doesn't just affect your to-do list — it affects who you are and how you show up for the people you love most.
What I discovered in the middle of it wasn't a productivity hack or a time management trick. It was a four-step method I call LEAD, and it's what kept me from losing myself completely in the mental and emotional load I had been carrying silently and alone.
If you've been white-knuckling your way through survival mode and wondering why nothing seems to be working — this episode is your reset.
In this episode we talk about:
- Why mom overwhelm goes so much deeper than a packed schedule
- How carrying the mental load alone drains your sense of identity and purpose
- The way burnout shows up in your marriage before you even realize it's happening
- Why getting back into your faith practice is the anchor that changes everything
- The LEAD method — a practical framework to help overwhelmed moms slow down, realign, and move forward without losing themselves
- How to stop letting your to-do list own you — and what to do instead
