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.

Why Understanding People Better Is the Marriage and Mindset Shift Overwhelmed Moms Need Most
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, marriage disconnection, and losing yourself in the constant cycle of frustration with the people you love most — this episode is for you.
Have you ever slapped a mental "naughty or nice" label on someone in your life — your kid, your husband, maybe even yourself — and felt the weight of that judgment sit heavy in your chest? Have you ever found yourself in the same argument with your spouse, the same standoff with your child, wondering why nothing ever changes? Have you ever thought, I just want more grace in this house — but didn't know how to get there?
Mama, what if the shift you've been looking for isn't a strategy — it's a perspective?
In this episode we're diving into one of the most powerful mindset reframes I've ever come across: the idea that everyone — your kids, your husband, even you — is doing the best they can with what they've got. That doesn't mean excusing bad behavior or letting yourself off the hook. It means trading judgment for empathy, and watching what happens to your relationships when you do. I'm even pulling in a little inspiration from This Is Us — because sometimes a good tear-jerker puts it better than any self-help book ever could.
When you stop trying to sort everyone into "naughty or nice" and start seeing them as whole, growing, imperfect people — something shifts. In your marriage. In your parenting. In the way you talk to yourself on the hard days. And that shift? It's where the real connection starts.
In this episode we talk about:
- Why "naughty or nice" thinking keeps overwhelmed moms stuck in cycles of frustration — and how to break free
- What's really behind your kids' acting out (hint: it's not to drive you crazy — usually)
- What This Is Us taught me about timing, personal growth, and grace in your family dynamic
- How showing grace to your spouse — even when he forgets to take out the trash — can transform your marriage from the inside out
- Why parenting without perfection isn't giving up — it's actually the mindset shift that saves you
- How breaking generational cycles of judgment starts with one mom choosing empathy in her own home
- The connection between extending grace to others and finally extending it to yourself
