Joyful Motherhood with Alex DeRose
Hi! I'm Alex! A Family Nurse Practitioner who decided to pause my career to raise my five sons. Being a mom is my absolute dream job and my goal for this podcast is to encourage you in your own motherhood journey.
We'll chat all the mom life things - faith, fertility, marriage, stay at home moms life with toddlers, babies, tweens, health and wellness, homeschooling, and I'll share all my favorite resources, books, tips, and nurse mama hacks.
My goal is for you to leave the episode energized and encouraged in God's plans for your motherhood - because I truly believe that a joyful mama can change the world. As my patron Saint, Mother Teresa says, "Joy is a net of love by which we catch souls." Let's do this!
Thank you so much for listening and being here, I appreciate you so much & am praying for you on this motherhood journey! Follow over on Instagram @alexmderose for more fun encouragement & know that you're never alone :)
Joyful Motherhood with Alex DeRose
Our First Year in Catholic School
#011 - As we enter the summer, Alex reflects on surviving the busy “Mayhem” of spring and embracing the slower pace of summer.
She recounts her family’s first year switching from homeschooling to Catholic school, highlighting the blessings, challenges, and the freedom to embrace change as a mom.
Alex shares the joys of finding community, the gift of faith-filled educators, and new routines, such as after-school snacks and morning drop-offs.
She encourages moms to reflect on what worked—and what didn’t—this past school year, trust in God’s plan, and celebrate the small moments that make up motherhood.
Whether you homeschool or send your kids to school, this episode is all about giving yourself permission to change, finding peace, and remembering your vital role as the heart of your home.
