EP 45 // Postpartum Anxiety: What to Do When You Feel Touched Out, Exhausted, and Like You’re Failing 31.07.2026 22мин

Postpartum anxiety or overwhelm doesn't mean you're ungrateful, spiritually weak, or failing as a mom.

You’ll learn practical ways to reset in difficult moments, ask for the specific help you need, understand how sleep deprivation affects you emotionally and spiritually, and hold both gratitude and grief in motherhood. We’ll also discuss when normal postpartum anxiety may be a sign that you need additional support, and why prayer, professional care, and practical help can work together. You can love your children deeply and still need help. Struggling does not disqualify you from being a wonderful mom (which you are!!)

EP 40 // Why “Drowsy But Awake” Isn’t Working, and What to Do Instead 14.07.2026 23мин

You’ve heard the advice: put your baby down “drowsy but awake.” But what happens when your baby’s eyes pop open the second they touch the crib...or they cry every time you try? In this episode, we’re breaking down why “drowsy but awake” often does not work, what may actually be getting in the way, and what to focus on instead. You’ll learn how timing, sleep associations, bedtime routines, and consistency all play a role in helping your baby fall asleep with less support. We’ll also talk through practical alternatives, including gradual fading, in-crib support, and how to respond when your baby protests a new routine. Because the goal is not finding the perfect sleepy moment, it’s helping your baby learn that the crib is a safe, familiar place to fall asleep.

EP 39 // How to Have a Morning Routine When Your Kids Wake Up Early 10.07.2026 22мин

Do you feel like having a morning routine is impossible because your kids wake up early...or the second you try to get out of bed? In this episode, I’m sharing how to create a realistic morning routine that actually works in motherhood. You’ll learn how to choose a few simple morning anchors, create full, interrupted, and survival versions of your routine, prepare the night before, and find small pockets of time even when your children are already awake. This is not about waking up at 4:30 a.m. or following a long, perfect checklist. It is about building a flexible rhythm that helps you feel grounded, cared for, and more prepared for the day ahead. And if your child’s early wake-ups are becoming a consistent sleep problem, I’ll also share when it may be time to look more closely at their schedule, naps, bedtime, and overnight sleep.

EP 38 // Will Sleep Training Harm My Bond With My Baby? 07.07.2026 23мин

Worried that sleep training could harm your bond with your baby? In this episode, we are separating fear from fact and talking honestly about attachment, crying, and what the research actually says. You will learn why secure attachment is built through the overall pattern of your relationship- not one difficult bedtime- plus what studies have found about behavioral sleep interventions, cortisol, emotional development, and the parent-child bond. We will also talk about the difference between temporary frustration and true harm, how to support your baby through change without ignoring their needs, and why you do not have to choose between protecting your connection and helping your family sleep. Because responsive does not mean boundary-less, and structure does not mean unloving.

EP 37 // What I Wish Someone Told Me as a New Mom: This Won't Last Forever 01.07.2026 12мин

When you’re in the thick of new motherhood, it can feel like the hard parts will last forever; the sleepless nights, the anxiety, the overstimulation, the constant need, the feeling that you may never feel like yourself again. But one thing I wish someone had gently told me as a new mom is this: this won’t last forever. And that truth is both comforting and bittersweet. In this episode, we’re talking about the hard parts of motherhood that eventually do change, the sweet little moments we don’t always realize we’ll miss, and how to hold both truths at the same time. You are allowed to want relief without feeling guilty. You are allowed to admit that a season is hard. And you are also allowed to notice the tiny, holy moments tucked inside the season you’re praying your way through. If you’re an exhausted mom who feels overwhelmed, anxious, touched out, or stuck in a season that feels endless, I pray this episode reminds you that you are not failing, you are not alone, and God is with you right here, not just on the other side of it.
