Many moms start the year already feeling behind—before January is even halfway over. Guilt from unmet expectations, comparison, and the pressure to “have it all together” can quietly weigh us down, leaving us stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed. In this episode, Lindsay Walker explores why the new year brings guilt for moms and how leaning into God’s grace can give you a gentle way to release it and start fresh.

You’ll learn:

• The difference between conviction and guilt, and why it matters for your heart

• How to release last year’s unmet expectations, comparison-driven goals, and the belief that you “should be further along”

• A simple surrender moment to let go of what God never asked you to carry

• Why starting again doesn’t mean failure—it means you are still responding to God

Plus, I share how the Faithfully Balanced course can help you:

• Identify your foundational priorities

• Create faith-filled, sustainable weekly rhythms

• Set healthy boundaries without guilt or overwhelm

• Restore your heart and perspective so starting again feels peaceful, not heavy

🎧 If you’ve ever felt behind, overwhelmed, or burdened at the start of the year, this episode is for you. Press play and take your first step toward a grace-filled, purpose-driven year.

The start of a new year can feel surprisingly heavy—especially for working moms. Even with the best intentions, January often brings pressure to move quickly, get organized, and figure everything out right away. Before long, peace is replaced by urgency, and hope gives way to overwhelm.

In this episode, we slow things down.

Instead of rushing into plans, goals, or productivity, you’re invited to begin the year from a different place—staying close to God rather than striving for clarity. Drawing from Scripture and the example of Jesus, this conversation reminds you that a peaceful start doesn’t come from having everything decided. It comes from abiding, listening, and letting God set the pace.

You’ll hear encouragement for releasing pressure, embracing stillness, and approaching the new year with trust instead of urgency. This episode centers on one simple, Spirit-led question that can help you experience peace when life feels full and the road ahead feels uncertain.

If you’re a working Christian mom who already feels behind—or who wants to start the year faithfully without burning out—this episode will meet you right where you are.

• Why the beginning of the year often feels rushed and overwhelming

• What the Bible teaches about peace, stillness, and staying rooted in Christ

• How Jesus modeled beginning from intimacy, not urgency

• One question that helps replace striving with peace

• A gentler, faith-filled way to start the year as a working mom

Where in your life is God inviting you to stay close instead of striving?

You don’t need to answer this all at once. Return to it in quiet moments—during your commute, in prayer, or when you feel pressure to rush ahead. Peace often comes not from clarity, but from closeness.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by New Year’s resolutions—or abandoned them by February—this episode is for you. As a busy Christian working mom, the pressure to “do it all” can be exhausting, and resolutions often leave us feeling like we’ve failed before the year even begins.

In today’s episode, we explore a different approach: setting intentions instead of resolutions. Intentions focus on purpose, not perfection, and help you align your daily life with God’s guidance, your family priorities, and your personal growth.

You’ll learn:

• The difference between resolutions and intentions, and why intentions are more sustainable.

• How to set faith-centered intentions that guide your year without guilt or pressure.

• Practical steps to create your own intentions that fit your family, work, and spiritual life.

• How to maintain your intentions even when life gets messy—without feeling like you’ve failed.

By the end, you’ll feel empowered to step into this year with clarity, peace, and confidence, letting God’s guidance shape your growth rather than societal expectations.
