Faithful Mama Rising I Overwhelm, Mindset, Marriage, Faith, Identity
TOP 10% GLOBALLY RANKED PODCAST!! 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.

29- Why You Forget What You Already Know When You're Overwhelmed
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ever find yourself thinking, "I know better than this... so why am I spiraling?"
One of the trickiest things about overwhelm isn't just having too much to do. It's what happens to our perspective when our emotions get loud.
In this episode, I'm sharing a very real moment when my woefully low summer podcast numbers sent me down a whole spiral of failure, not being enough, and all the things I clearly needed to fix. The funny thing? I already knew summer numbers tend to dip. I already knew growth takes time. I knew all the things.
My emotions just weren't particularly interested in what I knew.
And that got me thinking about how often we do the same thing with God. We know He's faithful. We've learned the lesson. We've seen Him come through before. But then... life. All the busy, the unexpected, the overwhelm—it piles up, and suddenly the truth we know can feel really hard to access.
So we're talking about what Joshua's memorial stones can teach us about why God knew His people would need reminders, why the Israelites' golden calf may hit a little closer to home than we'd like to admit, and the difference between desperately searching for another answer and turning to God to remind us of what we already know.
Because sometimes the truth isn't lost.
It's just buried.
In this episode:
- Why overwhelm can change our perspective even when our circumstances haven't changed
- What happens when our emotions start outweighing what we know
- Why God told Joshua to build memorial stones
- What the golden calf teaches us about what we reach for when we feel uncertain
- The difference between desperately searching for a fix and trusting God to guide us
- How journaling helps me notice when I'm getting swept up in a reactive pattern
- The simple "God Check" you can use when your "know brain" seems to have gone into witness protection 😂
Scripture Mentioned
Joshua 4:6–7

🍃 Something to Notice
What truth has God already shown you that may have gotten buried under everything life has piled on top of it?
Before you go searching for another answer this week, notice what's happening. Then take it to God and ask Him to remind you of what you already know.
