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.

The Hidden Way Comparison Keeps Overwhelmed Moms Stuck—and How to Finally Reclaim Your Joy
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, the comparison trap, and a joy that keeps getting hijacked by everyone else's highlight reel — this episode is for you.
Have you ever picked up your phone for two minutes and put it down feeling worse about your life than when you started? Have you ever watched another kid hit a milestone and felt that little twist in your chest before you could even stop it? Have you ever looked at someone else's marriage, someone else's home, someone else's family — and felt the quiet ache of why doesn't mine look like that?
Mama, comparison is sneaky. And it is absolutely stealing your joy.
The tricky thing about comparison is that most of it happens below the surface — in the unconscious scrolling, the offhand observations, the ways we measure our insides against everyone else's outsides without even realizing we're doing it. And the emotional toll it takes doesn't just affect your mood. It seeps into your mental health, your self-esteem, your mindset, and your marriage in ways that are easy to miss until the damage is already done.
But here's what I love about this conversation — comparison doesn't have to be the enemy. When we learn to use it as a tool instead of a weapon, it can actually become one of the most powerful catalysts for growth we have. In this episode we are flipping the script completely.
In this episode we talk about:
- The subtle, sneaky ways comparison shows up in everyday mom life — from social media to parenting styles to the holiday card version of everyone else's family
- The real emotional toll comparison takes on your mental health, your self-esteem, and your closest relationships
- How the comparison trap quietly creates disconnection in your marriage before you even connect the dots
- The mindset shift that turns comparison from a joy-stealer into a growth tool
- Practical steps to stop unhealthy comparison in its tracks — for real, not just for a day
- How to reclaim your joy and refocus on what actually matters in your own beautiful, imperfect life
