    Healing the Bond Mom Rage Broke With Your Child

    Hey Mama!  Have you ever felt disconnected from your child because of past mom rage? You’re not alone. In this encouraging solo episode, Healing the Bond Mom Rage Broke With Your Child, we’re diving into how to rebuild that precious mother-child relationship through prayer, humility, repentance, and the grace of Jesus.  A mom recently shared: “Sometimes, because of the mom rage I’ve felt with my daughter, I don’t feel as connected with her. I’d love any recommendations on how to foster our relationship so as she gets older, we’re both not feeling that.” If this resonates with you, this episode is for you.  We talk about starting with prayer to heal hearts first, the important mindset shift from forcing friendship to modeling Jesus, practical ways to reconnect at every age, and how to repair quickly after blow-ups. You’ll walk away with real hope, biblical truth, and simple next steps to restore connection.  Grab your coffee and press play—you’ll finish this episode feeling encouraged, equipped, and ready to take one small step toward healing.  Please like, subscribe, rate, review, and share so we can help more discouraged and angry mamas find hope and restoration in their motherhood journey!  Motherhood Restored – 10-week group coaching program The next group starts July 13th, 2026!

    Praying for Your Husband: Finding Hope and Healing | Interview with Julie Bender

    Hey, Mama, in today's episode, we’re sitting down with Julie Bender from thejuliebender.com to dive into the life-changing practice of praying for your husband. As Christian moms, we often juggle so much that our marriages can feel strained—but prayer can shift everything. Join Julie Bender and Natalie as they explore the power of intercessory prayer, drawing from Julie’s deeply moving journey through the loss of her first husband, healing, and remarriage, as shared in her work and ministry. Julie opens up about how prayer became her anchor after losing her first husband, guiding her through grief and into a restored future with a new marriage. Through heartfelt stories and Scripture, she reveals how praying for your husband can deepen your connection, dissolve resentment, and invite God’s peace into your home. Listen along as you discover the beauty of lifting up your husband in prayer, freeing yourself from overwhelm and embracing a marriage rooted in faith. God’s love and grace are ready to work miracles in your heart and home—you don’t have to do it alone. Julie is a believer, a wifey (formerly widowed), a mama, and an oversharer. As both a podcast host and recent author, she strives to be bold in everything: her lipstick and lashes, opinions, mistakes and wins, and sharing truth rooted in faith. Her life hasn’t been easy, but she's learned how to embrace her story, and in that, found healing and her true self. Her personal mantra is #beboldandjustbeyou so she shares her heart, humor, and frequent embarrassing moments willingly. She's winging it. Motherhood, her eyeliner, dinner plans, everything. She co-hosts Smart Living With Grit and Grace Podcast, hosts The Julie Bender Show Podcast, wrote When Marriage Is Hard and produces a video series for wives called #prayingforyourhusanddaily.  Please like, subscribe, rate, review, and share so we can help other mamas who are feeling stuck in their anger and burnout find joy in their motherhood journey!
