Let’s talk about it.

But listen—𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲. When we don’t care for ourselves and stay pressed into Jesus, we will burn out. And when we’re weary, we react out of depletion instead of peace.

💡 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲, 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴:
🔹 Why exhaustion makes us more vulnerable to the enemy’s lies
🔹 How running on fumes leads to mom guilt & burnout
🔹 What it REALLY means to “fill your cup” (hint: it’s more than self-care) ☕
🔹 How to stay rooted in Jesus so you don’t crash by the end of the day
🔹 Practical ways to refill your heart, mind, and spirit so you can parent from peace, not depletion

𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗮𝘀 "[𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗞𝗶𝗱’𝘀 𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗲]’𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗺" 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲? Or felt like your only purpose is to keep tiny humans alive while running on fumes and stale Goldfish crackers? (Just us? Cool.)

This week on 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗸 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘀, 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗮 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗼, and 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗲𝗻 unpack the ways stress messes with our identity as moms. When we get tangled up in labels—"special needs mom," "wife," "caregiver"—we forget who we really are in Christ. And that’s when the enemy sneaks in, fueling stress, self-doubt, and the feeling that we’re never enough.

𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲, 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴:
⚡ The weight of parental labels and how they shape our self-worth
⚡ How stress fuels insecurity, self-doubt, and passive aggression (yep, we’re going there)
⚡ Why self-care isn’t a luxury—it’s a biblical necessity
⚡ The power of renewing your mind daily and shutting down the lies of the enemy
⚡ How to rest in your true identity instead of striving to be “better”
