Mama, Where Are You on the List? Stop Micromanaging and Start Living
Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2471443/fan_mail/new]
Have you ever sat down and written a list of everyone who matters to you — only to realize you never made the list? In this powerful conversation, Jamie Newton-Knight sits down with Certified Biblical Life Coach, author, and speaker Nicole Hicks to talk about the parts of motherhood no one warns you about: the loss of self, the weight of doing it all, and the freedom that comes when you finally let go.
From learning to release control (even when the lunch box is packed 'wrong') to understanding that parenting is one of the greatest faith walks you'll ever take — this episode is equal parts conviction, encouragement, and permission. Permission to rest. Permission to ask for help. Permission to still be YOU.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT
* Why mothers struggle to ask for help — and what that says about control and trust
* The danger of micromanaging your partner or co-parent (even with good intentions)
* How Nicole went from a life-threatening medical crisis to founding Faith Over Fear Biblical Life Coaching
* The exercise that revealed none of us put ourselves on the priority list
* Why "mom" is a role you play, not who you are
* Releasing mom guilt and reclaiming your identity outside of motherhood
* Parenting as a faith walk — and why you can't rescue your children from every hard thing
* The power of never stopping prayer, even when (especially when) it's hard
