Faithful Mama Rising I Overwhelm, Mindset, Marriage, Faith, Identity
TOP 10% GLOBALLY RANKED PODCAST!! 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.

23- Overwhelmed Mom? The Lie That Keeps You Running on Fumes
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you're an overwhelmed mom struggling with burnout, feeling disconnected in your marriage, and wondering why you don't even feel like yourself anymore, this episode is for you.
Does this sound like you?
- You finally get everything done, sit down for two seconds... and immediately feel guilty for resting.
- You feel like it's all up to you to keep the house, kids, and marriage running.
- Asking for help feels like admitting you're failing.
- You secretly wonder why everyone else seems to handle motherhood better than you.
- You're running on fumes, but you don't know how to slow down without feeling lazy.
In this episode:
I share the unexpected moment that exposed one of the biggest lies I'd been believing for years.
It happened on an ordinary afternoon when my teenage stepson was outside mowing the lawn. Instead of enjoying the fact that I had finished everything on my list, I started creating busy work because I couldn't bring myself to sit down while someone else was working.
That simple moment made me realize something much bigger.
I wasn't exhausted because of my schedule.
I was exhausted because of the beliefs I had quietly accepted as truth.
In this episode, we'll unpack some of the sneaky lies that keep overwhelmed moms stuck in survival mode, strain our marriages, fuel mom burnout, and make us feel like we have to carry everything ourselves.
We'll also talk about what Scripture actually says about faithfulness, why the Proverbs 31 woman used to intimidate me, and how changing the way I looked at her completely changed the way I looked at myself.
You'll learn:
• Why hidden beliefs often create more overwhelm than your actual to-do list.
• Four common lies that keep moms running on fumes.
• How generational patterns shape the way we think without us realizing it.
• A simple exercise to identify the beliefs that may be driving your stress.
• What the Proverbs 31 woman is really teaching us—and why it has nothing to do with trying to do everything perfectly.
• How a mindset rooted in wisdom and faith can strengthen your motherhood, your marriage, and your relationship with God.
Remember, just because you've been carrying something for a long time doesn't necessarily mean God ever asked you to carry it.
