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.

20- Overwhelmed Mom? Why Cleaning More Is Making You More Burned Out
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever spent an entire day cleaning your house, got it perfect — and then watched it fall apart within the hour? Are you constantly waiting for that one big day to get on top of it all, only to find yourself burned out before you even start? What if the problem isn't how hard you're working — but the whole approach?
In this episode, Mitch shares the real turning point that made her ditch the all-day cleaning marathon for good (spoiler: it involves a little black dog, a freshly vacuumed couch, and a complete loss of sanity). She walks you through the simple systems she actually uses to keep her home manageable without burning out — so the overwhelm stops eating up your mental space and stealing time from the things that actually matter.
In this episode:
- Why chasing "done" is keeping you burned out — and what to chase instead
- The 3-load laundry rule that actually gets it folded and put away
- The 10-second daily habit that keeps your bathroom always guest-ready
- How to delegate to your kids in a way that actually sticks
- The power of pocket moments — and how to find them in your day
- Why community is one of your best home management resources
Action step: Pick one small reset you can start today. A 10-second squeegee. A 30-second counter wipe. One load of laundry. Start there.
