Faithful Mama Rising I Overwhelm, Mindset, Marriage, Faith, Identity
Do you ever find yourself wondering, "What am I even doing with my life?" Do you put yourself in "time-out" just to catch a breath? Do you ever feel like you belong to everyone else—your husband, your kids, the chores, the commitments—and somewhere along the way, you stopped belonging to yourself?
Well Mama, you are in the right place.
Faithful Mama Rising is a faith-filled podcast for overwhelmed moms who are tired of living in survival mode and ready to rise into the woman they're called to be.
This is where you'll start feeling seen, supported, and grounded again… where you'll reconnect with who you actually are and start leading your life on your own terms.
I'm Mitch—girl mama of two, wife to my hunk-o-hunk of lovin' husband, Andrew, and a former Mom-ster who once lived knee-deep in overwhelm, resentment, and loneliness. For years, I believed the right checklist or perfect schedule would magically fix everything. But no amount of planning stopped the Mom-ster from returning—and it definitely didn't help me feel supported or seen.
Through real conversations, faith, and learning to actually lead myself, I learned how to release the pressure of the endless to-do list, ask for help, reconnect with myself, and—get this—be playful again. My lips literally remembered how to smile.
And now? I'm here to walk this journey with you.
If you're ready to stop chasing quick fixes that only last three days, reclaim the woman God created you to be, and rise out of feeling stuck and into a life of grace, support, and purpose—these are the conversations for you.
So fold the laundry—or don't (honestly, it's clean, that's what matters)—and let's get our change on.

Why Leveling Up Communication in Marriage Changes Everything for Overwhelmed Moms
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you're an overwhelmed mom struggling with burnout, marriage disconnection, and losing your identity in motherhood — this episode is for you.
Have you ever felt the frustration of talking — really talking — and still not feeling heard? Have you ever ended a conversation more exhausted than when it started, wondering how you and your husband keep ending up in the same argument on repeat? Have you ever thought, I didn't even do anything wrong — and still felt the weight of the disconnection settle in your chest?
Mama, you are not alone in this. And there is a better way.
In this episode, I get real about a moment when something I said put someone I love in a funk — and I had no idea I'd even done it. Because sometimes the breakdown in our marriages isn't about big blowups. It's the small moments of miscommunication that pile up and quietly drain the connection right out of your relationship. And when you're already running on empty as a mom, marriage friction doesn't stay in the bedroom — it bleeds into your mindset, your identity, and your faith in what's even possible between you two.
The good news? Getting back on the same page doesn't have to be hard. I'm breaking down three simple steps that will stop the blame game and get communication flowing again:
- Validate
- Acknowledge/Apologize
- Dialogue
These aren't just communication tips — they're a mindset shift that can change the entire temperature of your home.
In this episode we talk about:
- Why feeling unheard in your marriage is one of the fastest ways overwhelm turns into resentment
- How small miscommunications quietly pile up and drain the connection from your relationship
- What to do when you didn't even think you did something wrong — and the marriage still hits a wall
- The 3-step framework to get back on the same page without the blame game
- How shifting your mindset around conflict can completely transform how you show up in your marriage and your home
- Why better communication isn't just a marriage win — it's a whole-life reset for the overwhelmed mom
