Mom Guilt: Is it Conviction or Condemnation? - EPS 102

Are you carrying around the heavy weight of mom guilt this summer, Momma? In last week's episode, my guest and I talked about why Christian moms struggle so much with feeling guilty just for taking care of themselves. Today, I am taking the next step to look at the spiritual root of that weight and how to dismantle it for good. In this episode, I am diving deep into a truth bomb dropped by my recent guest: conviction comes from God, but guilt comes from you. If you’ve ever wondered if that heavy, nagging feeling in your heart is a holy check up or a scheme from the enemy, this episode is for you. I am addressing the difference between Holy Spirit conviction and the mom guilt that leads to condemnation. In this episode, I talked about: 💜 How to instantly know if a feeling is drawing you closer to God or making you want to hide from Him in shame. 💜 How the Holy Spirit lovingly checks our spirit before we even make a mistake. 💜 The question to ask yourself the next time that heavy feeling hits so you can stop the cycle of condemnation. Conviction is to help protect your peace and growth, not punish you. RESOURCE MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Ready to break free from the heavy weight of mom guilt and condemnation for good? In the Release Mom Guilt Masterclass, you will learn how to silence the negative self-talk and tune into God's peaceful direction for your life.

Why Christian Moms Feel Guilty Taking Care of Themselves - EPS 101

Sometimes the hardest part of self-care isn't finding the time. It's overcoming the mom guilt we feel. As Christian moms, many of us know we need rest. We know we need boundaries. We know we need to take care of ourselves. Yet the moment we try, we feel guilty. We wonder if we're being selfish. We feel like we should be doing something else. We ignore our needs again. In this episode of The Mom Self-Care Podcast, I'm joined by Kisha "Coach K" Simmons, Certified Christian Counselor, Confidence Coach, and Soul Care Strategist, for a conversation about why so many Christian moms struggle with guilt when it comes to taking care of themselves. We talked about where that guilt comes from, how it affects us emotionally and spiritually, and why caring for yourself is an important part of stewardship. We discussed: 💜 Why Christian moms often feel guilty taking care of themselves. 💜 Where that guilt comes from and why it feels so strong. 💜 Why many moms struggle to separate who they are from what they do for others. 💜 Simple encouragement for moms who are learning to care for themselves without shame. If you've ever felt bad for resting, setting boundaries, or making yourself a priority, this conversation will encourage you and remind you that taking care of yourself matters too.

Momma, Who Are You Waiting for Permission From? EPS 100

Momma, who are you waiting for permission from? A lot of us have been going through motherhood and life waiting for someone to validate us before we fully step into who we are. Waiting to speak up. Waiting to set boundaries. Waiting to do what God has already placed on our hearts. And the truth is… that permission was never theirs to give. In this episode of The Mom Self-Care Podcast, I’m talking about what it really looks like to stop waiting for permission and start trusting your voice as a woman of God. This message was inspired by something I heard recently from Real Talk Kim that confirmed what I’ve already been teaching and what many moms need to be reminded of. I shared: 💜 Why boundaries are biblical and necessary in motherhood. 💜 What it looks like to trust your own voice as a mom. 💜 How waiting for permission can keep you stuck longer than necessary. If you’ve been second-guessing yourself, holding back, or waiting for someone to approve what God has already placed in you… this episode is for you. Momma, you don’t need permission to take care of yourself. You don’t need permission to grow. And you don’t need permission to walk in who God created you to be. ----------   Get your Self-care affirmations book: https://payhip.com/b/ENwb [https://payhip.com/b/ENwb]   👉 Get your Free Guide 5 Lies Mom Guilt Makes You Believe & What the Bible Says Instead here: https://mailchi.mp/f51947652f1c/5-lies-mom-guilt-makes-you-believe [https://mailchi.mp/f51947652f1c/5-lies-mom-guilt-makes-you-believe]  Join me online: 💜 Connect with me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/cicinspireme/⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/cicinspireme/%E2%81%A0]  💜 Join our Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/RockYourFierceFaith [https://www.facebook.com/groups/RockYourFierceFaith]  💜 Follow me on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cicinspireme [https://www.tiktok.com/@cicinspireme]    Email: info@cicinspireme.com About your host: Chari Twitty-Hawkins inspires moms to embrace self-care, self-awareness, and self-compassion!

Rest Requires Surrender - EPS 99

Mommas, sometimes we think rest is just about getting more sleep or taking a break. But what if true rest goes deeper than that? Because it does. As Christian moms, many of us are carrying emotional weight, mental exhaustion, stress, worry, and things we were never meant to hold onto. We keep pushing through, trying to handle everything on our own, not realizing that real rest requires surrender. In this episode of The Mom Self-Care Podcast, I’m joined by LaTrae “Coach Tea” Wilson, Behavioral Health Coach and Christian Counselor, for a insightful conversation about what rest really means for Christian moms. We talked about mental, emotional, and spiritual rest, how unresolved emotional struggles can affect our well-being, and why surrendering things to God is an important part of healing. We touched on: 💜 Why rest is more than just physical. 💜 How emotional and mental exhaustion affects moms. 💜 The connection between healing and surrender. 💜 Encouragement for moms who feel emotionally overwhelmed. If you’ve been feeling exhausted, mentally drained, or like you’ve been carrying too much on your own, this conversation is for you! Enjoy and share it with a momma you love!

How Christian Moms Can Avoid Summer Burnout

Summer break can feel overwhelming for moms. The routines change, the kids are home more, the house gets louder, and suddenly you’re carrying even more emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. If you’re a Christian mom already feeling exhausted before summer officially begins, this episode is for you. In this episode of The Mom Self-Care Podcast, I’m talking about summer burnout for moms, the emotional weight many mothers carry during this season, and how to create a more peaceful summer intentionally instead of only surviving it. I also spoke about the story of Martha and Mary in the bible and why God doesn't want moms to serve their families from a place of exhaustion. I shared: 💜 Why summer often exposes the overwhelm moms have already been carrying. 💜 How many Christian moms connect their worth to constantly doing for others. 💜 Practical questions to help you create a calmer, more peaceful summer. 💜 The importance of boundaries, breathing room, and protecting your peace as a mom. 💜 Why your children benefit from a rested and emotionally present mother. If you’ve been feeling emotionally drained, overwhelmed, overstimulated, or anxious about summer break, let this episode remind you that your peace matters too. I also created a special experience for Christian moms called Martha to Mary Summer Reset happening at the beginning of June. If you’re tired of carrying everything on your shoulders and you want support creating a more peaceful, intentional summer, I would love for you to join us.
