• The Mental Load of Motherhood: Tabs, Calendars, and Letting Go (Christian Mom Burnout, Decision Fatigue & Real Fixes) // 5

  Elyse (AUS) and Michelle (USA) pull back the curtain on the invisible mental load moms carry—endless schedules, meal plans, school forms, and everyone’s emotions—while confessing the funny, messy bits (hello, mystery music tab). Together they offer practical ways to declutter your home and calendar, train kids, ask your husband for help, and surrender the extras God never asked you to carry. Key Takeaways (3): Declutter on purpose: stuff and schedule—fewer bins and fewer commitments calm your mind. Delegate + train: age-appropriate chores and clear instructions reduce rework and resentment. Decide your “yes”: every yes is a no to something else—ask, “Did God actually ask me to carry this?” Join the Conversation: • Subscribe for unfiltered stories, unapologetic faith, and real motherhood every week. • DM us your favorite mental-load hacks or the chore your kids finally mastered!

• Mom Guilt or Holy Spirit Conviction? Joy, Comparison & Real Talk // 4

  Soft cookies, hard seasons: from choc-chip banter to the heart of mom guilt—comparison, joy, and conviction—in real time with Elyse (AUS) and Michelle (USA). We unpack how to take thoughts captive, spot the difference between condemnation and conviction, and find joy that outlasts the chaos. Scripture touched gently: 2 Corinthians 10:5; Deuteronomy 6:6–7; Philippians 4:8; James 1:2—simple, doable ways to apply them in everyday motherhood. 3 Key Takeaways Name it to tame it: Is this mom guilt or the Holy Spirit’s conviction? Condemnation isolates; conviction invites change (2 Cor. 10:5). Truth > comparison: Replace the scroll’s lies with what is true, lovely, and praiseworthy (Phil. 4:8). Home is your first mission field: Simple rhythms—bedtime prayers, meal-time thanks, talk as you go—live out Deut. 6:6–7 and nurture joy in trials (James 1:2).

• Lovers or Roommates? Marriage, Intimacy & Communication After Kids // 3

  Feeling more like house managers than husband and wife? Elyse (AUS) and Michelle (USA) get real about marriage after kids—date nights, scheduling sex, and why most “intimacy issues” are often communication issues. With humour, honesty, and hope, they share practical rhythms and a gospel-centred vision for oneness. 3 Key Takeaways Communication first: many intimacy roadblocks are actually unspoken expectations and unclear communication. Intimacy is multi-layered: emotional vulnerability, prayer, laughter, and physical connection all help “reset” oneness. Intentionality beats spontaneity: scheduling connection (and kid-swaps or a simple movie night) keeps you lovers, not roommates. Join the conversation Subscribe & review to help other mums find the show. DM us your date-night ideas or questions about talking intimacy with your husband.
