Armed to the Heart

Are you a woman in the military or beyond with a love for Jesus, a heart for your family, & dreams of making an impact?

Is God calling you to serve in a certain way, but you’re not sure how, without sacrificing who you want to be as a wife & mom, or without missing too many precious moments with your little ones that you’ll never get back?

Do you feel pulled in a million directions, like there’s never enough time to get everything done, and feel like your never-ending to-do list is constantly hanging over your head?

Do you ever feel isolated in your faith, disconnected from God, or like it’s hard to hear His voice?

Maybe you so badly want to believe motherhood & those dreams deep in your heart can coexist, but you’re tired of feeling so much guilt, stress, or overwhelm in your days. Maybe you’re in the thick of the identity shifts of motherhood and feeling some tension in what God is calling you toward, you know your current work-life pace isn’t sustainable, or you’re getting discouraged because you’re not making the progress you want to on your goals.

Maybe other people tell you you’re superwoman & juggling it all, but inside the pressure to do it all, to prove yourself, to not let anyone down, and the expectations of perfection weigh on you. You’re used to pushing through, doing hard things & carrying a lot, but sometimes feel like a failure because it’s so hard to be fully present either at work or at home.

You are the glue that holds your family together & you give your best in everything you do, but you can’t help but feel exhausted, like so much of what you do for your family is unseen, and you may not be experiencing the joy & fulfillment you want to, even though there are many blessings in your life.

Sister, I see you. I see how much you give, how hard you work, and how you feel alone in so many of these struggles.

Whether it’s taking care of our families, navigating the ups & downs of work, military life, building small businesses, nurturing our marriages, & managing our homes, every day can feel like a battle.

You are not alone.

As a dual military, active duty Army mama with 2 little ones, building a small business & a non-profit in the margins of my motherhood & full time job, I know the struggle of trying to fulfill each of these roles well without getting burnt out, compromising what matters most along the way, or never quite feeling like enough no matter how much you do.

I am right here in the trenches with you, and here to walk alongside you friend. You don’t have to do motherhood, the work God calls you to, or any of this alone.

On this podcast, we’re gonna build community and chat honestly about the journey of discovering who we are & our purpose within & beyond motherhood, and reclaiming our identity, health, and wholeness in Christ.

So get ready for encouragement in your unique calling, breakthroughs in your God-given dreams, more peace in the juggling act of momlife & renewed hope in the Lord’s beautiful plan for you & your family. In balancing taking care of our children, performing & producing in our work, managing the home, nurturing our marriages, maintaining our own health & fitness, the juggle is real, am I right? And the struggle is REALLY real as mothers in uniform.

If you’re in the trenches navigating pregnancy, postpartum, big transitions, identity shifts, or are simply feeling stressed, torn, exhausted, pulled in a million directions, guilty, always pressured to prove yourself by doing it all and doing it all perfectly, or feel like you’ve lost yourself, your joy, or what matters most somewhere in the thick of trying to survive it all, I see you.

We are all giving & sacrificing so much of ourselves, carrying such an invisible load.

We’re pushing through, trying to keep it all together but it’s easy to feel like a failure and like we can’t give 100% at work or at home. It’s easy to feel like we’re forced to choose between being a great wife & mom or a great leader, or like we can’t be as present as we want to be in either.

It’s easy to feel isolated as a Christian woman in the military, or a mother who truly wants to put your faith and family first in an environment where that doesn’t feel truly valued.

In this episode, we dive into these shared struggles in building our family while building God’s kingdom through the military or other forms of service.

We cover why we often feel stuck, trapped, or lose our way, we debunk some myths & narratives society wants us to believe that make it much harder to find a sustainable balance, and discuss how God wants to lead us toward greater fulfillment in all He calls us to do.
