When You're Running on Empty: Finding God's Strength as an Overwhelmed Christian Mom

The Missing Piece in Your Healing Journey: Faith, Trauma & Functional Health with Brooke Rozzie

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating healthier, taking the supplements, exercising, praying—and still don't feel well? In this powerful conversation, Ashton sits down with functional nutrition practitioner and pastoral counselor Brooke Rozzie, founder of Faithfully Nourished, to explore the connection between faith, trauma, hormones, gut health, and true biblical healing. After years of struggling with hypothyroidism herself, Brooke discovered that healing wasn't just about finding the right supplement or diet—it required addressing the heart, renewing the mind, and understanding how God designed our bodies to function together. Together, Ashton and Brooke discuss: * Why healing is about more than symptom management * The connection between trauma, chronic illness, and the nervous system * Hashimoto's, hypothyroidism, hormones, and functional nutrition * What the Bible says about caring for our bodies * Why shame and guilt often keep us stuck in unhealthy patterns * How renewing your mind (Romans 12:2) impacts your physical health * Raising children who understand biblical stewardship instead of diet culture * Finding freedom from perfectionism around food and exercise * How to pursue health without making it your identity Whether you've been struggling with chronic illness, thyroid disease, hormonal imbalances, burnout, anxiety, or simply want to steward your health in a way that honors God, this episode offers biblical encouragement and practical wisdom that points back to Christ. God created your body with incredible purpose. Healing isn't just about feeling better—it's about becoming free to serve Him more fully.

Whether you're parenting solo for the week, navigating a busy ministry season, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the daily demands of motherhood, this episode is a reminder that God never intended for you to rely on your own strength.

When Life Doesn't Go as Planned: Finding God in the Unexpected

What do you do when life doesn't go according to plan? This week on Miracles in the Madness, I'm recording from the middle of an unexpected power outage after spending the night at my mother-in-law's house because our home still doesn't have electricity. While it would have been easy to focus on the inconvenience, God used this experience to remind me of something far more important. In this episode, we're talking about the power of reframing our circumstances, practicing gratitude for the simple gifts we often take for granted, and learning to trust God's provision when life feels uncertain. We'll explore how unexpected interruptions can become invitations to slow down, recognize God's faithfulness, and discover that some of life's greatest blessings are found in community, hospitality, and His constant presence. If you're walking through a difficult season, facing unexpected changes, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's disruptions, I pray this conversation encourages you to shift your perspective and remember that God is still working—even when your plans fall apart. In this episode, you'll discover: * How reframing your circumstances can transform your perspective * Why practicing gratitude changes the way we experience hardship * Biblical encouragement for trusting God instead of trying to control every situation * The importance of community and allowing others to care for us during difficult seasons * Practical ways to recognize God's faithfulness in everyday moments No matter what unexpected challenge you're facing today, God is present, He is providing, and He is still writing your story.

Have You Lost Yourself in Motherhood? Finding Your Identity in Christ with Dr. Heather Curtis

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered, "Who am I now?" Motherhood changes us in beautiful ways—but somewhere between raising children, caring for everyone else, and trying to follow Jesus faithfully, many women begin to lose sight of who God created them to be. In this encouraging conversation, I sit down with chiropractor, entrepreneur, homeschool mom, and founder of Healthy Made Easy, Dr. Heather Curtis, to talk about what it really means to follow Christ without erasing yourself. Heather shares her powerful testimony of finding Jesus after reaching a point of hopelessness, how God faithfully carried her through seasons of business ownership, homeschooling, and motherhood, and the life-changing difference between dying to self and losing yourself. Together we discuss: * What Scripture actually means when it tells us to "die to self" * Why so many Christian moms lose their identity in motherhood * How to care for yourself without guilt * Teaching your children to know Jesus through everyday life * Finding your identity by first knowing who God is * Practical ways to build faith into your home * Why faithfulness is found in small, ordinary moments If you've been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure of who you are anymore, this conversation is a reminder that God never intended for you to disappear in motherhood. He created you to faithfully steward your heart, your home, and your relationship with Him. You don't have to choose between serving your family and becoming the woman God created you to be. Scripture Mentioned: * Matthew 6:33 * Matthew 6:25–34 Miracles in the Madness is the Christian podcast for overwhelmed moms who want to grow closer to Jesus, parent with biblical wisdom, and find hope in the middle of everyday life.

When Motherhood Feels Overwhelming: The Biblical Practice of Selah

Do you ever feel so overwhelmed that you struggle to respond to your children with patience? As Christian moms, we want to be a safe place for our children—a place where they feel seen, heard, and loved. But when we're exhausted, overstimulated, and carrying the weight of work, family, responsibilities, and everyday stress, it's easy to react instead of respond. In this episode of Miracles in the Madness, Ashton explores the biblical word Selah found throughout the Psalms and how this simple invitation to pause, reflect, and rest can transform our parenting, faith, and emotional health. Through personal stories and practical encouragement, you'll learn why intentional moments of peace matter, how emotional regulation impacts your relationship with your children, and simple ways to create space for God's presence in the middle of a busy day. If you've been feeling stretched thin, overstimulated, or struggling to find peace in motherhood, this episode will remind you that sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is pause, breathe, and rest in God's presence.
