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.

12- Why Your Marriage Feels Harder Than It Should Right Now 🤨
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever had a day where nothing is actually wrong… but somehow everything just feels harder than it should?
Do you and your husband ever walk into the same situation with completely different expectations—and not realize it until you’re already frustrated?
Have you noticed how fast you can go from calm… to reacting… over something small?
What if the tension you’re feeling isn’t really about what’s happening—but the mode you’re in?
In this episode, I’m sharing a real-life moment from a simple family outing that didn’t go the way I expected—and how quickly it could have turned into frustration on both sides.
What I realized in the middle of it completely shifted the direction of our day. It wasn’t about who was right or wrong. It wasn’t even really about communication in the way we usually think about it. It was about the unspoken expectations we both walked in with—and how differently we were approaching the same situation.
We talk about the difference between being in “get it done” mode versus “let’s enjoy this” mode, and how easy it is for those to clash without us even realizing it. And more importantly, how learning to pause and observe what’s actually happening—instead of immediately reacting—can change everything in the moment.
This is one of those small mindset shifts that seems simple, but has the power to completely change the way you experience your marriage and your day-to-day life.
