Intentional Motherhood: Nervous system regulation, Mindfulness, Aligned Energy for peace, presence, spirituality, & personal

Kelsey Redd | Christian Mompreneur, Real Estate Investor, Meditation Teacher, Mental Health Counselor

Are you constantly exhausted and overwhelmed, feeling like there’s never enough time, energy, money, or space to create the life you actually want? Do you feel stuck in the daily grind, stressed about finances, or frustrated that your dreams keep getting pushed to the bottom of the list? Maybe you love your family deeply, but you also know there is more available to you: more peace, more freedom, more abundance, and more possibility. What if you didn’t have to hustle harder, sacrifice your family, or add more to your already-full plate to create your dream life? What if you could shift the way you think, regulate your nervous system, strengthen your connection with God, and begin intentionally creating a life of greater freedom, wealth, joy, and abundance? Hi, I’m Kelsey Redd, a former Mental Health Counselor turned SAHM of 4 amazing kids. I was you, friend! I remember crying at the prospect of another day managing 3 babies under 2 years old, feeling like there was never enough time for myself, enough energy to give, or enough money to create the life I wanted for my family. That’s when I decided to stop being a victim of my circumstances and start intentionally creating a life I love. Through mindfulness, nervous system regulation, mindset shifts, manifestation principles, investing, entrepreneurship, and a whole lot of Grace from God, I’ve learned that creating an abundant life isn’t about working harder. It’s about becoming the person who can create, receive, and sustain the life you desire. Intentional Motherhood is a podcast for ambitious, spiritually-minded Christian moms who want more than simply surviving motherhood. If you’re overwhelmed by the mental load, stressed about money, dreaming of financial freedom, or wondering how to create more time, wealth, and freedom for your family without sacrificing the life you love, this show is for you. Each episode blends mindset, meditation, nervous system regulation, Christian spirituality, manifestation, and practical wealth-building conversations to help you create your dream life from the inside out. We’ll explore the money stories and limiting beliefs that keep us stuck, how to shift from scarcity into an abundance mindset, and practical ways moms can build wealth, create passive income, invest, and design a life with more freedom and flexibility. On Intentional Motherhood, you’ll learn how to: Release overwhelm, stress, and scarcity thinking Regulate your nervous system so you can create from a place of peace instead of pressure Strengthen your spiritual connection with God Shift limiting beliefs around money, success, and abundance Create an abundance mindset around time, energy, money, and opportunity Stop striving and start intentionally creating your dream life Build wealth and financial freedom without sacrificing motherhood Explore investing, passive income, entrepreneurship, and other paths to greater financial freedom Become the creator and owner of the life you want for yourself and your family Subscribe to Intentional Motherhood for practical mindset, mindfulness, spirituality, and wealth-building inspiration for Christian moms who are ready to stop surviving, start creating, and build a life of greater peace, freedom, and abundance.

    81 | Getting Out of Survival Mode: Nervous System Healing, Self Worth, and the Power of Safety with Mary Armendarez (Part 1)

    If you have spent years putting everyone else first and somewhere along the way completely lost yourself, this episode is going to feel like someone finally put words to everything you have been carrying. Host Kelsey Redd sits down with Mary Armendarez, author of The Return to Your Soul, speaker, meditation guide, and creator of transformational programs for women who are done surviving and ready to actually live. Mary's story starts at 16, kicked out of her home and thrust into survival mode, and she spent decades giving her power away to everyone around her before a crisis with her husband's health brought her to her knees and ultimately to her greatest transformation. In this conversation Mary and Kelsey talk about the signs that your nervous system is completely shot, why you keep snapping at your kids even when you desperately do not want to, and the embarrassingly simple practices that can start shifting everything, including one that happens before you even get off the toilet in the morning. In this episode you will learn: The signs your nervous system is out of balance and you are stuck in survival modeWhy your most triggering child is actually showing you your own unhealed woundsHow the violet fire technique instantly neutralizes conflict with your kids and your partnerWhy feeling safe is the foundation of everything, including abundance, self worth, and receivingThe two minute breath practice that brings you back into alignment instantlyWhy you keep people pleasing and how saying no is actually an act of self respectHow what is happening inside of you is creating a ripple effect in your children whether you realize it or notThis is not about adding more to your plate. This is about shifting how you use the energy you already have so you can stop reacting and start responding, to your kids, your partner, and your own life. Part 2 drops in just a few days and Mary leads us through a full guided meditation to integrate your four bodies. Make sure you subscribe so you do not miss it.

    78| Guided Visualization: You Are Everything to God (A Meditation on Worthiness & Abundance)

    Have you ever struggled to truly feel in your bones that God loves you? Not just know it in your head, but actually feel it? This guided visualization takes you on a journey through the paradox we explored in our last episode: how to hold both truths at once. That we are nothing without God and completely dependent on Him for everything, and that we are also everything to Him, His greatest joy, the whole reason He created any of it. Host Kelsey Redd leads you through an immersive visualization experience that begins in your favorite peaceful natural setting and slowly expands your perspective outward into the cosmos, all the way into the presence of God Himself, so you can experience in a new and profound way just how deeply, completely, and personally you are loved. In this meditation you will: Ground yourself in a peaceful natural setting using all five sensesZoom out from a single leaf or seashell all the way to the edge of the universeExperience the presence of a loving Heavenly Father who looks at you the way you look at something breathtakingly beautifulUnderstand at a soul level that you are the pinnacle of God's creation, not an afterthoughtReturn to your everyday life with a renewed sense of gratitude, worthiness, and purposeThis is not just a relaxation exercise. It is a perspective shift that will change the way you see yourself, your circumstances, and every gift God has placed in your life. Pair this episode with the previous episode on the paradox of worthiness and abundance for the full context.

    77| "I Don't Deserve It" - The Paradox of Worthiness and Abundance

    Have you ever moved into a new home, received an unexpected gift, or finally gotten something you'd prayed for, and then felt guilty about it? Like somehow you didn't quite deserve it? In this episode, host Kelsey Redd tackles one of the trickiest tensions in faith and abundance: the paradox of worthiness. How do we hold both truths at once, that we are nothing compared to God's infinite greatness, and yet we are everything to Him? Inspired by a conversation with a friend who couldn't stop saying "I don't even deserve this house," Kelsey unpacks why so many women of faith struggle to receive God's blessings with joy, and what gratitude has to do with resolving the whole tension. In this episode, you'll explore: Why worthiness is not the same as earning — and why that distinction changes everythingThe difference between healthy humility and the guilt that keeps you from receiving good thingsHow reformed theology and prosperity gospel both get it partially right — and where each misses the markWhy a gift stops being a gift the moment you think you've earned itHow gratitude holds the entire paradox together — humility and joy, meekness and praise, all at onceA powerful quote from Apostle Dieter F. Uchtdorf that perfectly captures the paradox of man's relationship with GodKelsey also shares her own experience with moving into a new home, her years of infertility, and why she believes gratitude is the one frequency that raises every situation — no matter what you're walking through. The answer to "do I deserve this?" isn't yes or no. It's thank you. Subscribe now, share this show with a mom friend, and join the conversation!  Want to be in the know?

    76| My 4 Year Old is a Master Manifester! 3 Lessons She Taught Me

    Sometimes the most powerful lessons come from the smallest moments — like a penny in a parking lot. In this episode, host Kelsey Redd shares a simple but profound story about her four-year-old daughter that stopped her in her tracks and taught her three key principles of manifestation that we are all born knowing — and slowly unlearn as we grow up. Kelsey also shares exciting news: after 15 years of real estate investing, she is now a licensed real estate agent in Utah and is channeling her background in mental health counseling, abundance mindset, and wealth-building into helping other families create financial freedom through real estate investment. The 3 Manifestation Principles Your Kids Already Know: Clarity — Decide with intention exactly what you want, without waveringTrust and Knowing — Surrender the outcome and rest in the deep, God-given knowing that it will come in His timingReceiving — Feel fully worthy of what you've asked for and receive it with genuine gratitude — no deflecting, no minimizing, no "I got it on clearance"Kelsey also opens up about her ten-year infertility journey and how the hardest part wasn't the treatments or the waiting — it was learning to truly trust God even when circumstances didn't match her desires. And how surrender, not striving, was the turning point. Whether your dream is financial freedom, a life change, a family goal, or simply learning to accept a compliment — this episode will shift the way you think about what you're asking for and whether you truly believe you deserve to receive it.

    75| Happy Father's Day! Experiencing God's Perfect Fatherly Love

    In this solo Father's Day episode, host Kelsey Redd shares a personal and vulnerable reflection on faith, language, and the perfect love of God the Father. After years of using inclusive terms like "the universe" and "divine source" in her work as a mental health counselor, Kelsey opens up about a moment of spiritual clarity that prompted her to start speaking more directly about God — and why that distinction matters. Drawing on a talk by Elder D. Todd Christofferson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Kelsey explores what it means to be parented by a perfect, loving Heavenly Father, and unpacks four powerful ways God shows His love for His children: Through teaching — giving us "earth school" to learn through our own experiencesThrough example — sending Jesus Christ as a perfect mirror of the Father's loveThrough provision — sustaining us daily, body and soulThrough sacrifice — the gift of His only Son for all of humanityKelsey also reflects on motherhood, minimalism, gift-giving, and a sweet moment watching her daughter's pure joy at the pool — drawing a tender parallel to how God delights in watching His own children experience joy. Whether you're navigating your own faith journey, thinking about the role of fathers (earthly and heavenly) in your life, or simply looking for a moment of spiritual reflection this Father's Day, this episode offers an honest, heartfelt look at gratitude, language, and divine love.
