Do you constantly feel like you’re falling short—no matter how hard you try?
Are you stuck in a cycle of guilt, frustration, and wishing the hard moments away?
What if the breakthrough isn’t a new routine… but a new way to see yourself—through forgiveness?
Welcome to The Restored Mind Podcast—a peaceful space for Christian moms who want to be the best mom they can be, end guilt, and start a journey of self-forgiveness. If you’re tired of wondering whether you’re doing enough—or feeling like you’re falling short in every area—you’re not alone. Each week, you'll learn small but impactful habit changes that will help you lead your children to know and love God- while growing your own faith along the way.
Hi, I’m Caroline Thao—Jesus follower, wife, and mom who knows what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by expectations that stem from a perfectionist mindset. It led me to try to control everything—and when I failed, I felt the heavy weight of mom guilt. For years, I second-guessed everything: my parenting, my faith, my dreams. I felt torn between being fully present with my kids and pursuing the passions God placed on my heart. Worst of all, I believed the lie that I had to choose one or the other—until I learned to forgive myself so I could finally show up as the mom I wanted to be.
And here’s the good news: you don’t have to live stuck in guilt or strive to be a “perfect” mom.
Through scripture, intentional habits, and faith-filled mindset shifts, I discovered how to let go of guilt and live like the mom God created me to be—not the one guilt kept me stuck as. And now, I want to help you do the same.
Each episode will give you biblical encouragement, simple steps, and easy, attainable habits so you can::
- Break free from mom guilt and the perfectionist mindset that leaves you feeling stuck.
- Walk in confidence in all the roles God has entrusted you without needing to do it all perfectly.
- Lead your children with grace, love, and patience—not pressure.
- Finally becoming the mom you’ve always envisioned yourself to be.
So if you’re ready to stop running on empty and start thriving in your motherhood journey, you’re in the right place. Grab your Bible, invite the Holy Spirit in, and let’s walk this journey together—one peaceful step at a time.
