Mama, are you tired of feeling like you have nothing left to pour out, and yet still feel like you’re somehow not giving enough? Do you wish you could stop rehearsing the same patterns from your family that you swore to yourself you would never repeat? Are you sick of spending hours worrying about your kids and being constantly bombarded with all of the “what ifs” that take over your mind? Do you wish you didn’t feel like you just had to survive this season and that you could actually enjoy it? How about waking up excited for the day, feeling confident as a mother, and living out those dreams you abandoned so long ago? In this podcast, you will find tools, wisdom, and encouragement to help you step into the life you were created for! We will dig into healing from your past by re-aligning your identity with Christ, shining a light on depression and anxiety, and ending the cycles of unhealthy family patterns. We will work to help you craft a healthy, joy-filled life by creating healthy habits, diving into boundaries, and discussing practicals to being a godly wife and raising our kids with intention. We will equip you to spread hope into the world by discovering your gifts and passions, resurrecting old dreams, and learning how to take the freedom you have found and bring others in on it! If you’re ready to move from anxiety, depression, and overwhelm, and to step into the abundant wide open life that God is calling you to then I think you have found your spot, Mama. Hi, I’m Brittany, your guide to navigating this journey of healing. I have spent years as a therapist, leader, and coach, helping people move out of the spaces they have been stuck in. I also have walked through my own journey of healing from decades of depression, anxiety, anger, and a deep belief that I am not good enough. I am here because God used a miscarriage to show me I had nothing to fear and that it was time to use all that he has healed in me to spread his message of hope into the world. So mama, grab your coffee and journal so we can unpack what it looks like to live a life you were created for! We are going to get super real, laugh about our quirks, and do the heavy lifting to transform our pain into purpose. If you’re ready to grab hold of your courage, step out in faith, you will discover that your life can become more than you ever dreamed possible. THIS is Morning, Mama! A place for you to throw off all that has been holding you back and run into true freedom. Let’s go!!

    397. Is Motherhood Running Your Life? Raising Kids Without Losing Yourself.

    Do you ever feel like your emotional state rises and falls with how your kids are doing? When they’re happy, you feel okay. When they struggle, you panic. When they mess up, you feel like you failed. Maybe you’re constantly worried about their future. Maybe their behavior feels like a reflection of you. Maybe your peace depends on whether or not they’re okay. In today’s episode, we continue our series on the sneaky things that steal our joy by talking about one of the most tender and dangerous idols for moms: the idol of our kids. Not loving them. Not caring deeply. Not wanting what’s best for them. But placing our identity, security, and worth in how they turn out. We talk about how this shows up when: • You feel responsible for your child’s emotions • You fear their mistakes more than you trust God • You define your success by their behavior • You try to control outcomes instead of steward hearts • You lose yourself in motherhood This episode will help you: • Recognize where fear is driving your parenting • Understand why control feels loving but isn’t • See how making kids the center creates pressure instead of safety • Learn how to release your child back to God • Begin parenting from trust instead of anxiety If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by your child’s choices, behavior, or future — this episode will help you see what’s really happening underneath it. Your child was never meant to be your source of peace. God is. And when you let Him be, both you and your child can breathe again. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

    396. Do you Feel Guilty When You Rest? How to Let Go of the Idol of Work.

    Do you ever feel like you can’t slow down… even when you want to? Like there’s always more to do. More to fix. More to manage. More to prove. Maybe rest feels irresponsible. Maybe stopping feels unsafe. Maybe you don’t know who you are if you’re not being productive. In today’s episode, we continue our series on the sneaky things that steal our joy by talking about another deeply praised idol in our culture: the idol of work. Not diligence. Not responsibility. Not doing what God has called you to do. But the kind of work that replaces trust, worth, and dependence on God. We talk about how work becomes an idol when: • Your value comes from how much you get done • You feel guilty when you rest • You carry constant pressure to do more • You use busyness to avoid what you feel • You believe everything depends on you This episode will help you: • Recognize where work has become your source of worth • Understand why striving never brings peace • See how busyness keeps you from God instead of drawing you to Him • Learn the difference between faithfulness and self-reliance • Begin practicing rest as trust, not laziness If you’ve been feeling driven, exhausted, or afraid to slow down — this episode will help you see what’s really underneath it. You were never meant to carry everything. You were meant to walk with God. And that’s where real peace is found. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

    395. The Hidden Pain Under Your Perfectionism and How This is Impacting Your Life.

    Do you ever feel like you’re being measured — even when no one is saying anything out loud? Measured by how you look. By how your kids behave. By how put-together your life appears. By what other moms seem to be doing better than you. Maybe you don’t call it “image.” Maybe you call it pressure. Or comparison. Or trying not to fail. Or just wanting to be seen as a good mom. In today’s episode, we continue our series on the sneaky things that steal our joy by talking about another quiet idol in our culture: the idol of image. Not just caring what people think — but letting what people think shape how you live. We talk about how image takes over when: • You feel anxious about how others see your parenting • You hide your struggles instead of asking for help • You compare your life to what you see online • You perform instead of rest • You feel like you have to hold everything together This episode will help you: • Recognize where image is driving your choices • Understand why it leaves you exhausted and insecure • See how comparison is robbing you of peace • Learn how to live from identity instead of performance • Begin trading pressure for freedom and approval for peace If you’ve been feeling tense, unseen, or like you’re never quite enough — this conversation will help you name what’s really going on underneath it. You were never meant to manage an image. You were meant to live from who God says you are. And that’s where freedom begins. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

    394. How Comfort Might be Stealing Your Joy and What to Do About It.

    Comfort is something most of us chase without even realizing it. We organize our lives around what feels safe, familiar, and emotionally manageable — but over time, that pursuit of comfort can quietly replace trust in God. In this episode, we talk about: • How comfort becomes an idol • Why discomfort often accompanies spiritual growth • How avoiding hard things keeps us stuck • The difference between God’s peace and personal comfort • What it means to follow God when obedience feels costly If you’ve been feeling stuck in patterns that feel safe but unfulfilling, or if you’ve been resisting change because it feels too hard, this episode will help you reframe discomfort as part of God’s refining work. Sometimes the very thing we’re avoiding is where God is inviting us to grow. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama? Sign Up for the Pain to Peace Academy HERE.

    393. 3 Lies Comparison Wants You to Believe

    Do you ever find yourself thinking, “I should be farther along by now”? Or wondering why God seems to be answering everyone else’s prayers… but not yours? Comparison is sneaky. It doesn’t always look like jealousy — sometimes it looks like discouragement, frustration, or feeling stuck in the season you’re in. And before we know it, it starts stealing the joy God wants us to have. In today’s episode, I’m kicking off a new series on the sneaky things that steal our joy — and we’re starting with comparison. We’re talking about three lies comparison whispers to us: • I should be farther along by now • Why hasn’t God answered my prayers? • Why am I still here? Your story is not late. Your prayers are not ignored. And your season is not wasted. God is weaving something in your life — even when you can’t see it yet. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

    392. Do You Love How Your Days Feel? How to Create a Life that's Fulfilling.

    Do you love your days? Not just the big picture—but the hours in the middle of your day. The work you do. The way you spend your time with your kids. The rhythm of your life. If your day-to-day feels stagnant, draining, or disconnected from who you are, this episode is for you. In this episode of the Wonder series, we’re talking about calling—not just in terms of career, but in how you live, work, serve, and show up in the season God has you in right now. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

    Do you ever feel stuck with God? Maybe you hear other people talk about their deep, emotional connection with Him—and you wonder why it feels so hard to access that kind of intimacy.

    390. How Healing Really Happens: Two Women Share Their Pain to Peace Academy Transformation

    In today’s episode, I’m joined by two incredibly special women, Holly and Lauren, who bravely share their honest experiences inside the Pain to Peace Academy. This conversation is sacred, vulnerable, and deeply hope-filled—and I truly believe it will meet you right where you are. Holly and Lauren come from very different life stages. One is navigating motherhood with grown kids, the other is in the thick of early marriage and parenting a toddler. And yet, you’ll hear just how universal our pain, patterns, and healing journeys really are. If you’ve ever wondered: Is this just another course that won’t actually change anything? Is this relevant for my stage of life? Is it worth the investment? Why do I keep reacting the same way in my marriage or relationships? This episode will answer those questions honestly. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or quietly hopeless, I hope this conversation reminds you that your pain is not the end of the story. Healing is possible. Clarity is possible. And you don’t have to do this alone. 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!
