Descripción

You’re not lazy. You’re not failing. You’re just tired… in a way sleep doesn’t fix. This episode is for the mom who is holding everything together on the outside—but feels like she’s unraveling on the inside. The one who keeps trying to “rest” but ends up right back in the same cycle of overwhelm, guilt, and mental noise. If you’ve ever thought, “Why can’t I just slow down?”… you’re not alone. In this conversation, we get honest about what’s really keeping you stuck—and why the kind of rest you’ve been chasing hasn’t worked. Because real rest doesn’t start with doing less… it starts somewhere deeper. As I share in this episode, the turning point came down to one truth: rest starts with surrender. And if you’re ready for that shift, I want to point you to the book that helped reframe everything for me: 📖 It’s All Under Control by Jennifer Dukes Lee https://a.co/d/0dAcOdVO [https://a.co/d/0dAcOdVO] 📖 Companion Bible Study https://a.co/d/0bfFMNRq [https://a.co/d/0bfFMNRq] You don’t have to keep striving your way into peace. There is another way—and you don’t have to figure it out alone. If this episode resonates, I’d love to walk with you deeper in this journey: 💌 Join my newsletter: https://jpharrington.com [https://jpharrington.com/] Take a breath, mama. You’re seen.

4. Who Am I? 3 Ways To Find Yourself Again When You Feel Lost in Motherhood

You look around at your life and barely recognize yourself anymore. Somewhere between the diapers, the dishes, the deadlines, the sleepless nights, and carrying everyone else’s needs, you started wondering what happened to you. And maybe underneath all of it, you’re quietly asking a question you’re almost afraid to say out loud: “Will I ever feel like myself again?” In this deeply honest episode, J. shares her raw journey through early motherhood, anxiety, loneliness, grief, and identity loss — and the two life-changing truths that helped her stop searching for the woman she used to be and embrace the woman God was shaping her into instead. You’ll walk away encouraged with practical and spiritual steps to help you: * Rebuild your identity in Christ * Make space for yourself again without guilt * Find community in the isolation of motherhood * Stop mourning who you used to be * Embrace the growth happening in this season Mama, you’re not lost. You’re evolving. And God has not forgotten you in the process.
