I Thought I’d Be Further By Now

Maybe It's Not Warfare, Maybe It's You

In this episode, I’m asking a hard question: what if it’s not spiritual warfare… what if it’s you? We talk about control disguised as discernment, pride that hides behind defensiveness, “protecting your peace” vs. avoiding growth, performance Christianity, and the insecurity that fuels comparison. This is a mature conversation about taking responsibility instead of blaming the enemy for what God may be trying to refine. Anchored in Proverbs 3:5–6, Proverbs 12:1, James 1:19, Matthew 5:23–24, Galatians 1:10, 2 Corinthians 10:12, Hebrews 12:11, Proverbs 27:6, and Psalm 139:23–24, this episode challenges us to see discomfort not just as attack — but sometimes as invitation.

I Thought I’d Be Further By Now

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “I really thought I’d be further by now”? In this episode of Mom, Mic & Real Life, I get real about waiting seasons, trusting God without a timeline, and what it looks like to love Him while still struggling with doubt, anxiety, and unmet expectations. I share pieces of my own journey—missed lessons in the waiting, surrender, and learning who I am beyond roles. This episode is for any woman who feels behind, unseen, or stuck in the process and needs the reminder that waiting is not wasted.

I Love My Kids...But This is Hard!

In this episode of Mom, Mic & Real Life, we’re saying the quiet part out loud: you can deeply love your kids and still admit that motherhood is hard. From postpartum overwhelm and mental load to hiding in the closet for a moment with God, this episode is an honest, faith-filled conversation about real life in this season. If you’re tired, overstimulated, or feeling guilty for needing a break — this one is for you. You’re not alone, and God is meeting you right here. SCRIPTURES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE * Isaiah 41:10 — “Do not fear, for I am with you… I will strengthen you and help you.” * Matthew 11:28 — “Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” * 2 Corinthians 12:9 — “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” These verses are reminders that God meets us in the exhaustion, the overstimulation, and the real-life moments of motherhood — not after we’ve pulled it together, but right in the middle of it.
