Do you constantly feel like you’re falling short as a mom? Maybe you lose your patience… yell more than you want to… feel overwhelmed all the time… or carry this constant pressure to “do better.” And even when you are growing… you still can’t seem to stop beating yourself up. If that’s you, this conversation is for you. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Alexandra Jensen—wife, mom of three, author, and Christian writer—for a powerful conversation about mom guilt, perfectionism, receiving God’s grace, and learning how to extend that grace to ourselves. Because so many of us are living under the weight of: “I should be doing more.” “I should be handling this better.” “I should be enough.” But underneath all of that striving… are lies about our worth, identity, and what God actually says about us. In this conversation, we unpack: ✨ Why moms struggle so deeply with guilt and perfectionism ✨ How refusing grace for yourself impacts your marriage and kids ✨ The connection between control, anxiety, and perfectionism ✨ Why accepting help is actually an act of humility ✨ The difference between God’s grace vs. the world’s version of “self-care” ✨ How to recognize when you’re running on empty emotionally and spiritually ✨ Why slowing down and connecting with God changes everything ✨ The importance of feeling your feelings instead of stuffing them down We also talk about practical ways to reconnect with God in busy motherhood—including Alexandra’s beautiful idea of “pickup prayers” while cleaning the house. If you’ve been stuck in shame, mom guilt, overwhelm, anxiety, or the pressure to hold everything together… this episode will remind you that God’s grace is bigger than your shortcomings. And you do not have to earn it. love, Brittany Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama? Sign Up for the Pain to Peace Academy HERE. Come say hi and join the Morning Mama Facebook Group!
