Episode 14: Finding Yourself in Motherhood

In this episode of The Mamas Who Brunch, we’re having a real and honest conversation about what it looks like to find ourselves in motherhood. From getting married… to becoming pregnant… to moving — all in a short period of time — we talk about how quickly life can change, and how those changes can leave you wondering, “Who am I now?” As new moms, we open up about: * The identity shifts no one prepares you for * Grieving the old version of yourself without guilt * Feeling stretched, overwhelmed, and sometimes unseen * And learning how to anchor our identity in Christ through it all Motherhood doesn’t erase who you are — it refines you. If you’ve ever felt lost, overwhelmed, or like you’re trying to rediscover yourself in this season… this conversation is for you. “To every thing there is a season…” – Ecclesiastes 3:1 🤍 You are not lost. You are becoming.

Episode 13: Faith in the Workplace

In today’s episode of The Mamas Who Brunch, we’re having an honest conversation about what it looks like to walk in integrity as a Christian woman in the workplace. Whether you’re navigating corporate spaces, building your career, or balancing motherhood and professional life—there can be real pressure to compromise your values, stay silent about your faith, or simply “fit in.” But what does it truly mean to represent Christ in the public world? In this episode, we talk about: • Holding onto your faith in professional environments • What integrity actually looks like day-to-day • Handling workplace pressure, gossip, and competition • Being a light without feeling pushy or out of place • Trusting God when doing the right thing isn’t the easy thing This conversation is for the woman who wants to honor God not just at home or in church—but in every room she walks into. You don’t have to be perfect to represent Christ. Your consistency, your character, and your quiet obedience matter more than you think. ✨ “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” — Colossians 3:23 (KJV) If this episode encouraged you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with another mama who needs this reminder 🤍 #ChristianWoman #FaithAtWork #WorkingMom #ChristianPodcast #WomenOfFaith #Integrity #MamasWhoBrunch

From sleepless nights and shifting priorities to learning how to reconnect again, we talk openly about the beauty, the challenges, and the grace needed in this season of life.

Episode 11: From Survival to Peace: A Single Mother's Redemption Story

In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Mama’s Who Brunch, Gelina sits down with her dear friend Cherish Gilbert to share a deeply personal story of courage, healing, and redemption. Cherish opens up about her journey as a single mother raising a teenage daughter while navigating emotional abuse in a relationship that slowly caused her to lose herself. What began with love bombing and intense affection eventually turned into emotional confusion, self-doubt, and chaos. After years of feeling stuck, Cherish made the brave decision to leave everything familiar behind in Austin, Texas and start over in St. Louis with her daughter. The transition was painful, uncertain, and terrifying—but it ultimately led her to a place of peace, restoration, and deeper faith. In this episode, we talk about: • Recognizing the subtle signs of emotional abuse • How manipulation and love bombing can distort your sense of reality • The impact of unhealthy relationships on motherhood • Healing while raising a child who is watching your every move • Finding Jesus in seasons of confusion and transition • Rebuilding self-worth after emotional abuse • Practical steps for women who feel stuck but know they need to leave Cherish also shares how therapy, community, faith, and even an unexpected blessing in the form of her dream dog helped restore her sense of safety, identity, and hope. This conversation is honest, vulnerable, and filled with encouragement for any woman who feels trapped in survival mode and longs for peace. If you are walking through a difficult season, we pray this episode reminds you that your value has never been lost — it may only need to be rediscovered. You are worthy of peace. You are worthy of safety. And God is with you in every step forward.
