EP 22: The Midweek Reset: Feeling Guilt, Moms? Here's a Quick Mindset Shift

Description

🎧 WHAT THIS EPISODE IS ABOUT In today’s Midweek Reset, we’re talking about the mindset behind mom guilt and why so many moms feel responsible for everyone’s happiness, comfort, schedules, emotions, and expectations. Lori shares how guilt often comes from false beliefs about productivity, perfection, and what it means to be a “good mom.” We’ll also talk about what Jesus modeled about rest, boundaries, and intentional living-and why healthy moms and healthy families need margin. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or emotionally exhausted, this episode will help you pause, reset your thinking, and reconnect with what actually matters. ✨ EPISODE QUESTIONS * What belief is driving my guilt right now? * Am I making decisions from peace… or pressure? * What would change if I stopped believing I had to do everything? 🔑 IN THIS EPISODE * The hidden beliefs underneath mom guilt * Why moms often feel responsible for everyone else’s emotions * The connection between guilt and people-pleasing * What Jesus modeled about rest and stepping away * Why you do not have to do everything * How catastrophizing fuels overwhelm * A simple mindset reset for overwhelmed moms * Replacing guilt with truth and intentionality ❤️ 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS 1.

EP 35: When Loving Others Means Losing Yourself

In this episode, Lori shares a personal part of her own boundary journey and reflects on insights she gained while reading I Choose Me by Jennie Garth. She explores the difference between codependence and healthy interdependence, explains the concept of self-abandonment through a biblical lens, and unpacks what Galatians 6 teaches about carrying one another's burdens without taking responsibility for someone else's life. If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, trying to fix others, or feeling responsible for everyone else's happiness, this episode offers hope and practical encouragement to help you become deeply rooted in Christ while loving others without losing yourself. In This Episode * My personal journey with codependency and people-pleasing * The difference between codependence and healthy interdependence * The powerful illustration of tangled vines versus healthy trees * What self-abandonment looks like in everyday life * How these same patterns can show up in motherhood * The biblical difference between carrying someone's burden and carrying someone's load * Why healthy boundaries allow us to love people without losing ourselves * Three questions to help identify unhealthy responsibility QUESTIONS 1. Where in my life have I confused loving someone with carrying responsibilities that belong to them? 2. Have I slowly abandoned my own relationship with God, health, or calling while trying to take care of everyone else? 3. This week, what burden do I need to hand back to God instead of continuing to carry it myself?
