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.

22- Overwhelmed and Feeling Stuck? What If You're Measuring Your Life by the Wrong Thing?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Does this sound like you?
You find yourself wondering, What am I even doing with my life?
You feel stuck, but you can't quite explain why.
You don't even feel like yourself anymore.
You spend your days taking care of everyone else, yet somewhere along the way, you stopped belonging to yourself.
You wonder if the gifts God gave you are actually making any difference.
You feel overwhelmed by the mental load of motherhood and question whether you're using your purpose well.
You keep waiting for some big moment to prove that your life matters.
And sometimes, if you're honest, you wonder if you're wasting your potential.
In this episode:
If you've been feeling stuck in motherhood, questioning your purpose, or wondering who you are outside of taking care of everyone else, this episode is for you.
This conversation started with a journal entry and a quiet morning with God when I honestly didn't know where to begin. Instead of forcing my way through, I started paying attention to the thoughts that kept showing up and uncovered a fear I didn't realize had been driving so much of my overwhelm.
As I reflected on the Parable of the Sower, Paul's words in 1 Corinthians, and the lives of Moses, Abraham, and the apostles, I began to realize how often I measure my life by visible results instead of faithfulness.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why many Christian moms feel stuck and disconnected from themselves
- The hidden thoughts that shape our identity and purpose
- The pressure to prove we're making a difference
- How overwhelm and comparison can distort our perspective
- What Scripture teaches about faithfulness, purpose, and trusting God with our gifts
- How to model faith for our children even when we still have doubts ourselves
- Why ordinary moments may matter far more than we realize
If you've ever said:
- "I don't even know who I am anymore."
- "I feel stuck."
- "What am I doing with my life?"
- "I just want to feel like myself again."
I hope this episode reminds you that your worth isn't measured by visible results, audience size, productivity, or accomplishments.
God often asks us to plant faithfully long before we ever see the harvest.
