  Subscribe to Time for Mom so you don't miss my upcoming workshop: Living a Life Aligned with Your Priorities https://bit.ly/timeformomsubscribe Do you ever feel that “mom guilt” creeping in when your child is asking for connection, but your to‑do list keeps winning over presence? Have you noticed how easy it is to talk over your kids instead of with them — and how everything shifts when you slow down and actually hear their heart? Are you navigating a new season of motherhood and wondering how to adjust your priorities, routines, and expectations while seeking God’s wisdom for your family? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how every season of motherhood makes us first‑time moms again, and how listening, slowing down, and seeking God first helps you show up with presence, peace, and confidence as your family grows. Every mom is a first‑time mom every day — each new stage brings fresh challenges, growth, and grace. Kids don’t just need your time — they need your presence — even small moments of connection can repair what busyness unintentionally steals. Motherhood is always shifting — you’re growing, your kids are growing, and your routines must grow with you. Most kids can communicate well when we slow down enough to listen — being heard often softens their resistance and strengthens your bond. God is the only truly experienced parent — seeking Him first brings clarity, wisdom, and peace into everyday parenting decisions. Your priorities will change as your family changes — small, intentional shifts help you stay aligned with what matters most.

  109 | Simple SAHM Prayer Routines for Chaotic Days and Busy Hearts - Devotion 11.09.2026 9min

  Do you struggle to prioritize prayer in your daily routines because mom life feels loud, chaotic, and nonstop? Have you felt mom guilt or comparison creeping in when your prayers look more like silent groans, quick scribbles, or whispered words over dishes and laundry? Are you questioning your self‑worth as a SAHM because you think your prayers aren’t “good enough,” even though Scripture says the Holy Spirit intercedes for you when words fail? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how to build real, sustainable prayer rhythms into your loud, chaotic mom life so you can reconnect with God without needing silence, solitude, or perfection. God meets exhausted SAHMs in the noise, prayer doesn’t require silence. Simple prayer habits—silent, written, or whispered—help moms rebuild their faith even on chaotic days. Daily routines like dishes, laundry, and school pickups become built‑in prayer rhythms for overwhelmed moms When words fail, the Holy Spirit intercedes for moms with groanings deeper than language. Letting kids see you pray shapes their faith and normalizes real, imperfect connection with God. Prayer as a mom isn’t about eloquence or solitude—it's about starting with whatever capacity you have today.

  108 | SAHM on the Edge of Burnout? Why You’re Exhausted — and How to Stop 09.09.2026 9min

  Do you ever feel like your SAHM routines are wearing you down faster than motherhood itself? Have you caught yourself comparing your capacity to another mom’s and then spiraling into mom guilt because your priorities don’t look like hers? Are you protecting everything except the parts of you that build self-esteem — and wondering why you feel exhausted even when you’re doing “all the right things”? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, we talk about why motherhood can feel like walking on concrete — everything wears you down faster than you expect. Just like socks and shoes break down on rough ground, your daily life has smooth places and rough places that thin you out. Some seasons feel gentle. Others scrape you raw. And if you don’t know how to protect your capacity, you burn out long before you realize what’s happening. Life wears you down like concrete — even the good parts. Some seasons rub you thin fast. You can’t avoid burnout without real rest. Knowing your limits keeps you whole. Your wear pattern is unique — stop comparing. Protect what matters most or you’ll wear out faster.

  107 | 5 Ways to Restore Marriage When You’re Overwhelmed and Burned Out - Devotional 04.09.2026 12min

  Do you let your kids, friends, family and external influences reshape your routines and priorities in ways that pull you and your husband apart instead of keeping your marriage healthy and connected? Have you checked in with your husband lately — really checked in — or have you been giving the “easy” answers instead of the honest ones? Are you proactive in your marriage or has SAHM life led you into complacency? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing the small, consistent ways you can fight for your marriage every day so you can stay connected, stay united, and keep anything that tries to wedge itself between you and your husband from taking root. Conversation Check‑In Questions for Your Marriage: “Are we in a healthy place or are we feeling distanced from each other?” “When was the last time I kissed my husband?” “When was the last time I told him I thought he was handsome?” “When was the last time I told him that I appreciated him because of who he is?” “When my husband asks me something, am I being honest with him or giving the answer I think he wants?” “Is there anything you think needs worked on in our marriage?” Key Takeaways: >Small, consistent actions protect your marriage more than big, dramatic fixes — daily choices keep distance from creeping in. >Marriage only has room for three: you, your husband, and God. >Communication is the heartbeat of a healthy marriage. >Respect is a healing posture, even in conflict — a gentle answer deflects anger and opens the door to healthy conversations. >Money is one of the loudest threats to marriage. >Work is good, but it cannot become the #1 priority. >Family influence must be balanced with marital unity. >Fight for your marriage, not against your husband. Unite with the Lord and let Him fight on your behalf.

  106 | Are Your Routines Draining Your Joy? Rediscover the Wonder in Motherhood 02.09.2026 9min

  Do you ever feel so calloused or exhausted that you’ve forgotten the wonder God is trying to show you through your kids? Have you realized that the things your kids pull you into — the wonder, the discomfort, the newness — might be the very places God is trying to soften your heart again? Are you so deep in the frustration and noise of motherhood that you’re missing the gift God is trying to give you through this season? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how motherhood lets you see life through a completely new lens so you can rediscover wonder, find purpose in the hard moments, and remember that God is shaping you just as much as you’re shaping your kids. Motherhood makes the world new again — God uses our kids to reopen our eyes to beauty, wonder, and the miracles we’ve grown numb to. Comparison steals joy and dulls wonder — but seeing life through your children restores your self‑worth and softens the calloused parts of adulthood. Motherhood is a second chance — a chance to rewrite routines, priorities, and generational patterns with intention and faith. Kids pull us out of our comfort zones — helping us experience things we’d never choose but desperately need for growth and healing. Motherhood reveals the “why” behind our parents’ choices — giving us compassion, clarity, and a deeper understanding of family legacy. This season is hard, holy, and refining — God uses motherhood to shape you just as much as you shape your children. You’re not failing — you’re being formed — even when you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or tempted to give up. Don’t stop fighting for connection — keep trying new routines, new approaches, and new rhythms until you find what brings peace instead of friction. Motherhood is a gift even when it feels maddening — God is present in the frustration, the stretching, and the moments that break you open.

  104 | Do You Talk to Your Body Like It’s God’s Artwork or Your Enemy? | Self‑Worth, Mom Guilt, Biblical Identity, Devotion 31.07.2026 10min

  Do you ever catch yourself speaking about your body or your worth in ways that would break your heart if your kids said the same things about themselves? Have you embraced self-criticism instead of being thankful of the worth God has for you? Are you noticing the moments where you treat yourself as less valuable than the women you serve, love, or admire — even though Scripture says you were created with the same intentionality and beauty? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how God reshapes our self‑esteem and identity through Scripture so you can finally see yourself the way He sees you — with truth, grace, and the kind of love you freely give everyone else. Loving your neighbor starts with learning to love yourself the way God intended — with grace, not self‑criticism. Humility isn’t self‑deprecation; it’s shifting your focus outward while honoring God’s workmanship in you. Speaking harshly about yourself contradicts God’s truth about who He created you to be. Your body is a God‑designed vessel — purposeful, capable, and worthy of care. You were created intentionally, beautifully, and for God’s glory — nothing about you is accidental.

  103 | 4 Ways Moms Can Escape the Comparison Trap and Restore Peace 29.07.2026 13min

  Have you ever looked at your friends, family, or even a stranger and wonder how they are able do all the things you want to do? Are you wishing your home looked like your friends? Do you wish you could trade homes and lives with someone else because they seem to have the life you want? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood.

It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing 4 ways to fight comparison so you can appreciate your mom life without wishing you could escape motherhood.  Lean into how God wired you — not anger or frustration, but the character He placed in you to serve your family well. Redirect your attention when comparison creeps in; their life is never what it seems from the outside. If something isn’t working, release it — just like a broken toy that’s no longer serving its purpose. Finding what works for you takes time, prayer, and patience.

  102 | God Sees Every Mom and the Little Things She Does - Devotion 24.07.2026 9min

  Do you ever look at your SAHM routines and wonder if the “little things” you do actually matter — especially as comparison starts to whisper that your impact should look bigger? Have you wondered whether anything of the seeds you’re planting in your kids is sinking in? Are you carrying quiet shame over being “ordinary,” forgetting that God sees the unseen, everyday acts of kindness and obedience as you serve your family? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood.

If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. n this episode, I’m sharing how the small, ordinary things you do as a mom make an impact, so you can stop questioning your worth and start seeing how God is using your everyday acts of faithfulness to grow something beautiful in your home and your family. Small acts of love matter more than big moments. Ordinary motherhood carries Kingdom impact — kindness, service, generosity, and presence are the real “epic deeds” that push back darkness in everyday life. Jesus modeled humble, unseen service — He came as an unassuming servant, showing that greatness is found in obedience, not applause. Your daily work is worship — Scripture reminds moms that doing small tasks with excellence brings praise to God and carries eternal value. Seeds are growing even when you don’t see fruit. Don’t give up in the little things.

  101 | Feeling Like a Failure? Overcome Mom Guilt and Perfection with Guest Sandy Cooper 22.07.2026 48min

  Do you feeling guilty with how you are a mother? Like no matter what you do, you should be doing something else? Have you been carrying mom guilt so long that it’s started to shape your priorities, your self‑esteem, and the way you see your own self‑worth? Are you constantly comparing yourself to other moms and wonder if you’re somehow doing motherhood “wrong” because you can't be "that mom"? If so, you’re in the right place.  Today, we have a super special guest, the amazing and fabulous Sandy Cooper! Sandy Cooper is an award-winning author of three books, a student of the Bible, and a professionally certified plant-based home chef. She has been married to Jon for over 32 years and is mom to three young adults, a son-in-law, and a nine-month-old son in Heaven. She has been helping frazzled moms find peace since 2008 at thescooponbalance.com and is the co-founder of Writing Off Social, where she helps female Christian writers grow their audience without social media. Sandy is the host of The Balanced MomCast, the cohost of Writing Off Social: The Podcast. She writes at Behind the Balance on Substack, from her home office in Florida, where she lives with her family (and the ocean). Key Takeaways: Social media comparison sets moms up to feel like they’re doing motherhood wrong. Mom guilt isn’t permanent — you grow, mature, and learn your way out of it. Feeling like you should always be doing something else is a sign of overwhelm, not failure. Embrace the kind of mom you are — chaos-loving or order-loving — without guilt. Nothing could have fully prepared you for the challenges of motherhood. If you had known every challenge ahead of time, you might have hesitated — but God knew you were the right mom. God hand‑selected you for your child and equips you for every challenge. You are the exact right mom for your child, no matter what you’re facing. When you feel like you’re failing, speak to yourself with the same kindness you’d give a friend. Great parenting cannot remove struggle from your child’s life — struggle grows resilience. Your perfection will not produce perfect kids. Self‑control is a fruit of the Spirit, and you have access to it because Jesus lives in you. Self‑control is a muscle — the more you use it, the stronger it becomes. You grow stronger every time you exercise the power God placed within you. Apologize early and often — humility transforms relationships. A good mom knows she is flawed and leads with honesty and humility.

  100 | Are You Helping or Hurting? A Faith Lesson Found in Motherhood - Devotion 17.07.2026 11min

  Do your routines fall apart because you’re trying to “correct” everything around you instead of letting God lead? Have you caught yourself stepping into a role that isn’t yours — as a SAHM or even a believer? Are you struggling to keep your priorities rooted in love when discouragement, control, or perfectionism seem like the best thing in the moment but leave you filled with guilt instead of peace? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom.

[email protected] In this episode, I’m sharing how easily our correction can slip from love into control, so you can recognize the motives behind your reactions and begin responding with the kind of grace, patience, and Holy‑Spirit‑led love that actually builds relationships. Correction without love becomes control, damaging connection and growth — whether between siblings or believers. Love-led guidance creates room for choices, teamwork, and spiritual maturity, unlike rigid, controlling correction. Christians harm more than they help when correction starts from confrontation instead of compassion, sowing division instead of unity. Different convictions aren’t wrong — obedience to God is the standard, not legalism or personal preference. Our calling is to protect, encourage, and build up weaker believers, guarding their conscience rather than flaunting our freedom. If correction isn’t rooted in love, silence and prayer may be the best response, letting the Holy Spirit do His work.

  99 | New Dog, Panic, and the Perseverance God Taught Me 15.07.2026 9min

  Do you ever feel your routines or priorities slipping because the weight of responsibility hits harder than you expected — and comparison starts whispering, "It's not worth it"? Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the responsibility in front of you and wondered if your perseverance is even making a difference? Are you struggling to remember your God‑given calling when the daily push to show up, teach, and stay consistent leaves you discouraged and wondering if you're invisible? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood.

[email protected] In this episode, we're talking persistence in motherhood, calling, and life — not the glamorous kind, but the gritty, everyday perseverance when I’d rather quit. Thank you for sticking with me for a full year and almost 100 episodes. Your presence here matters more than you know. Perseverance often starts with panic. Responsibility stretches me, but God strengthens me in the stretch. Obedience builds momentum. This podcast grew because I kept showing up and trusted God with the results. Motherhood requires long‑term consistency. Teaching, training, and loving my kids is slow work — but it matters. Discouragement doesn’t mean I’m failing. It’s a normal part of parenting and calling, not a sign to quit. Faithfulness over perfection. God honors persistence even when I feel tired, unsure, or overwhelmed.

[email protected] Do you ever slip into routines that make you feel like you're “just a SAHM,” forgetting your God‑given identity is deeper than any role you fill? Have you noticed how quickly motherhood can overshadow your identity, making you forget you’re a daughter of the King? Are you measuring your self‑worth by the roles you carry instead of remembering you are deliberately designed, deeply loved, and more than any season you’re walking through? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how culture tries to define us by productivity and roles so you can release those expectations and rest in the truth that God calls you treasured, known, and deliberately designed. Your identity is not limited to motherhood — culture may label you “just a mom,” but God calls you chosen and loved. Roles shift, but your identity in Christ stays steady — when life changes, you don’t lose who you are; you are God’s daughter first. People may define you by what you do, but God defines you by who you are — His child, deliberately designed and deeply loved. You are more than your productivity — God values you beyond tasks, roles, or how much you accomplish in a day. Your story is bigger than any season you’re walking through — illness, motherhood, work, or struggle do not get the final say on your identity. Teach your children their identity in Christ — when they know who they are to God, they won’t be shaken by changing roles or expectations. God sees you as His treasured daughter — beloved, cherished, and held, no matter what role you’re currently living out.

If you take a screen shot of your review and email it to me and I will read it on the podcast! [email protected] Do you ever get caught in routines that leave you overreacting, comparing yourself to other SAHMs, and wondering if your self-worth is tied to how “well” you’re mothering? Have you noticed how quickly mom guilt can hijack your priorities — pulling you into negative thought spirals before you even realize what your body is trying to tell you? Are you starting to see how your self-esteem shifts when you’re overwhelmed, making it harder to choose a calm response and remember the relationship God is forming in you as you parent your child? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. Meet Kelsey Redd, a wife, mom of 4 little kids, an adventurer, and most importantly, a disciple of Jesus Christ. She is the host of the Intentional Motherhood podcast, where she helps busy Christian moms create presence & purpose at home through simple mindfulness routines and sustainable spiritual practices. After a decade as a holistically trained Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Kelsey’s focus shifted from therapy into motherhood and spirituality, helping women align with God, shift their mindset, and find joy in motherhood without doing more. As a SAHM herself, she’s passionate about helping women create lives they love and to really enjoy motherhood! In this honest and hope-filled conversation, Kelsey Redd unpacks why moms slip into negative thought spirals — and how to stop them before they take over your day. Together we explore emotional regulation, spiritual alignment, and the powerful truth that parenting often reveals the places where we still need nurturing, healing, and re-parenting. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck in your head, this episode gives you practical tools and a faith-centered framework to breathe again. Key Takeaways Negative thought spirals lose power the moment you identify, articulate, and interrupt them. Emotional regulation works best when you practice it before you need it — not in the heat of the moment. Parenting is deeply connected to re-parenting yourself and healing the parts of you God is still shaping. Your relationship with your children often mirrors the relationship you’re trying to build with God. Awareness of your body — tension, breathing, posture — helps you understand what you’re actually feeling. You can choose your focus: there are always multiple experiences happening at once, and you get to decide which one you give attention to. Practical Techniques to Stop Negative Thought Spirals Identify when you’ve entered a negative spiral. Say it out loud or write it down to break the mental loop. Practice regulation habits regularly so they’re available when emotions spike. Notice your current emotional condition without judgment. Journal your triggers to reveal patterns. Recognize moments of overreaction before they escalate. Pause long enough to calm your body. Name what you’re about to do and how you’re f

  96 | Comparison Builds Walls, Grace Builds Friendships - Devotion 03.07.2026 7min

  Do you go into momma bear mode when someone hurts your family, forgetting there may be a deeper story you can’t see? Have you ever compared your priorities to another person and wonder why they are doing things that don't make sense, instead of considering the invisible battles they might be fighting? Are you carrying judgement in a way that leaves you feeling guilty, instead of choosing grace that protects your peace and your relationships? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood.

It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing why what you can’t see in someone’s life matters more than what you do see, so you can stop carrying the weight of judgement and start responding with Christlike grace, empathy, and peace. Hurt people hurt people — look deeper before reacting. Judgement is easy; grace takes Holy Spirit strength. Invisible battles shape behavior more than we realize. Assumptions destroy relationships — curiosity repairs them. Understanding isn’t approval — it’s Christlike compassion. Leave condemnation to God — He sees the whole picture. Grace brings more joy than judgement ever will.

  95 | Breaking Free from Comparison: Lose Weight Without Losing Yourself with Coryn Brown & Crysanne Clay 01.07.2026 34min

  Do you ever find yourself slipping into comparison—especially as a SAHM—letting someone else’s routines or body shape quietly rewrite your priorities and your sense of self-worth? Have you noticed moments where mom guilt makes you question your self-esteem or the way you care for your body, even though you’re doing the best you can in the season you’re in? Are you carrying expectations that don’t match your real life, making health feel like pressure instead of peace—and keeping you from honoring the body God entrusted to you? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. Today have an amazing interview with Coryn Brown and Crysanne Clay, a mother-daughter health coaching duo and the voices behind the Her Healthy Body Podcast. With over 20 years of combined experience working with women both in person and online, they specialize in strength training, protein-focused nutrition, and helping women rebuild their health after years of diet culture and extremes. — all while keeping God at the center of the journey. In this episode, we’re talking about the quiet trap so many moms fall into—trying to lose weight, only to lose themselves in the process. When health becomes about aesthetics instead of stewardship, comparison takes over, joy drains out, and the journey stops feeling holy, peaceful, or sustainable. This conversation brings you back to the why behind getting healthy, the warning signs of obsession, and the strength‑centered, God‑honoring approach that actually lasts. Why your “why” matters more than any number on the scale. The women who succeed long‑term are the ones who pursue health for deeper reasons—not just looks, but the ability to show up for their families, their calling, and their life. The truth about chasing a smaller version of yourself. A tinier body won’t make you happier. In fact, the more obsessed you become with losing weight, the more you tend to gain—because obsession steals peace, clarity, and consistency. The spiritual reset your health journey needs. Weight loss is a side effect, not the goal. You can hand control back to God and choose to honor the body He gave you with strength, nourishment, and compassion. Realistic expectations for real‑life seasons. Busy seasons will come. Your health habits should flex with your life, not break you. Peace is a fruit of healthy stewardship. Why strength is the healthiest definition of “healthy.” Strength builds sustainable body composition, confidence, and energy—without the obsession, comparison, or guilt. How comparison steals joy from your body image. When you measure yourself against others, you lose sight of the unique, God‑crafted body you’re called to care for. Warning signs that weight-loss has become an obsession: When looks become the focus When workouts feel like punishments When diet and exercise become attempts to control your life When your workout drains your energy instead of giving it Related Episodes, Devotions, and Links: Her Healthy Body Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/her-healthy-body-lose-weight-workouts-high-protein/id1586031822 Her Healthy Body Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/herhealthybody Her Healthy Body Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/her.healthy.body/ Website: herhealthybody.co Contact email: team@herhealthybody.

  94 | “Unqualified” Isn’t Disqualified — How God Turns Your Past Into Purpose. Devotion 26.06.2026 13min

  Do you ever look at your past or your weaknesses — like Paul persecuting believers or you feeling unqualified as a mom, wife, or leader — and assume God can’t use someone like you? Have you let past mistakes and shortfalls convince you that God can’t use you for something more than the day-to-day? Are you tying your self‑worth to results instead of trusting God to work through your weakness? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood.

God equips the willing, not the qualified. Your weakness is where God shows His power. Obedience matters more than credentials. Paul’s past became his testimony, not his disqualification. God uses you even when you feel unworthy. Results aren’t your job — obedience is.

  Do you ever feel like your routines are running your life instead of helping you protect your priorities — especially when mom guilt or comparison starts whispering that you’re not doing enough? Have you noticed how easily your self-esteem and self-worth get tangled up in being a SAHM, as if your identity begins and ends with what you do for everyone else? Are you carrying the weight of motherhood in a way that leaves you drained, overwhelmed, and unsure how to realign your priorities so you can actually enjoy your kids again? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood.

It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing some lessons on mom identity that I've learned in the last six years of motherhood so you can reject expectations and comparison in favor of reclaiming your identity as more than just mom.  The “respond to every cry” season is short — don’t stay stuck in it long‑term. As your family grows, boundaries matter; babies can wait a few minutes and older kids still need you. Small, steady adjustments help you realign motherhood with your true priorities. You’re a mom, but not only a mom — caring for yourself and your identity matters. Staying rooted in God shifts the whole atmosphere of your home and helps you show up with grace.

  Do you ever slip into comparison or mom guilt when your routines don’t look “good enough,” even though God keeps reminding you He uses imperfect people on purpose? Have you noticed how your self-esteem takes a hit when you focus more on your flaws than on the calling God has placed on your life? Are you letting your priorities get swallowed by fear or insecurity instead of stepping forward in obedience, trusting that God qualifies the called? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood.

If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how God uses our flaws and insecurities—just like He did with Moses—so you can step into your calling as a mom with confidence, courage, and a heart willing to obey even when you don’t feel enough. God uses your flaws on purpose, just like He used Moses’ weakness to reveal His strength. Your calling doesn’t require perfection, only a willing heart to obey even when you feel unqualified or insecure. Mom guilt and self‑doubt don’t disqualify you — God equips you as you step into what He’s asked you to do. Your weaknesses can become someone else’s encouragement, because God’s power shines brightest through the places you feel least confident. Obedience grows confidence, just like Moses became bold only after he started walking out his calling one step at a time. You can’t ruin God’s plan by being imperfect, because success in His eyes is measured in eternity, not instant results.

  91 | The Strength of Dad — and the Support He Needs From You 17.06.2026 9min

  Does your husband do things so much differently that you that you twitch a little if you watch him? Have you wondered why your kids just respond differently and better to your husband than you? Are you trying to support and love your husband as he takes on fatherhood? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how dads uniquely shape their kids and how we can better support our husbands in parenting so you can build a stronger, more unified home where both parents thrive. Kids thrive when dads lead with calm strength, and their unique influence shapes confidence, discipline, and emotional security. Children learn by watching their dad, not just listening — modeling matters more than perfect parenting. Moms and dads parent differently, and that’s a gift, not a flaw. Different strengths create a fuller, healthier home. Backing your husband in front of your kids builds unity, stability, and trust in your family’s leadership. Disagreements about parenting belong in private, where unity can be restored without confusing your children. Respecting your husband publicly strengthens your marriage, and your kids learn how love and partnership work. Letting your husband “dad his way” empowers him, builds his confidence, and shows your kids that both parents matter. Protecting space for intimacy keeps your marriage strong, which ultimately strengthens your whole family.
