Your Mosaic Mom Life | Stay-at-Home Mom, Confidence, Personal Identity, Purpose, Personality Types

Laura Stufflebam Holth | Career Counselor for the Stay-at-Home Mom Identity Crisis | Certified Personality Trainer

Do you love being a stay-at-home mom… but feel like you’ve lost a bit of your identity along the way? Like you’re incredibly grateful for motherhood, yet actually miss the confidence, clarity, and validation you had when you were working outside the home? Do you adore your kiddos, feel totally called to be home with them, and still have this inner tug saying you were made for more? You’re in the right place, mama. Your Mosaic Mom Life is a faith-based podcast for stay-at-home moms who want to rediscover who they ARE, not just what they DO. I’m Laura Stufflebam Holth—a former teacher and university career counselor turned stay-at-home, homeschooling mom of two—and I know the tension of loving motherhood while longing for something else that is just “mine.” I tried so many different work-from-home mom jobs to feel more like ME again, and they’d help for a while. But then, I’d be right back to feeling like something was missing again. Turns out, what was missing was ME. My identity as a mom AND as a woman that God designed with unique gifts and talents. I needed BOTH identities to finally feel like a whole, purposeful person. And I’m betting, you need to rediscover that holistic identity, as well. If you’re ready to… … Rebuild your identity beyond diapers, carpool lanes, and endless laundry… …Find confidence in who God created you to be by understanding your natural tendencies & strengths, and… …Let go of guilt to create a life that honors both motherhood AND your unique gifts… This podcast is for you! Each week, we’ll be having encouraging conversations that point you toward helpful identity-based tools, as well as biblically-rooted strategies to help you understand your strengths, rebuild your confidence, and step fully into who God created you to be. Because your life isn’t random—it’s a mosaic. And God hasn’t wasted a single piece of it (Romans 8:28). So grab your coffee before it gets cold (again), hit play, and let’s start piecing together Your Mosaic Mom Life.

    23 | “I Don't Want to Be Put in a Box!” → 3 Rules for Using Personality Tools Well

    “Laura, I don’t want to hear anymore about personality types. I don’t want to be put in a box!!”   Yep, I’ve heard that sentiment quite a bit over the past 20 years as a Certified Personality Trainer.    My usual response is “I don’t like being put in a box, either! Which is why I love so many different typing systems. No one profile or assessment will ever tell us everything there is to know about ourselves. We’re too complex!”   So, when it comes to personality typing, I have three big rules for how to use those tools WELL. And what those rules are is what we’re talking about today.   Links & Resources Mentioned: Schedule a Clarity Call to walk through YOUR unique results of any Personality Tool: https://scatteredwoman.com/clarity “Life verse” for Personality Tools: Romans 12:18 Wired That Way Personality Profile (online): https://thepersonalities.com Working Genius Assessment: https://www.workinggenius.com/ Free Holland Codes Inventory: https://www.truity.com/test/holland-code-career-test Lifeway’s Free Spiritual Gifts Inventory: https://s7d9.scene7.com/is/content/LifeWayChristianResources/Spiritual%5FGifts%5FAssessmentpdf.pdf    Contact → laura@scatteredwoman.com  Podcast → https://scatteredwoman.com/podcast Connect → https://scatteredwoman.com/community Facebook →https://www.facebook.com/ScatteredWoman Resources → Grab my free Personalities Simplified Cheatsheet here!    Next Steps: Step 1: Join a great community of mamas looking for support and encouragement to ditch the mom guilt and dive into their own Mosaic Mom Lives at the free Facebook group – Your Mosaic Mom Life Community Step 2: Sign up to be a Podcast Insider at https://scatteredwoman.com/insider Step 3: Get more personalized support with a Mosaic Mom Life Clarity Call at https://scatteredwoman.com/clarity

    21 | Are You Having a Mom Identity Crisis... or Have You Just Forgotten Who You Are?

    Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought: "I don't even know who I am anymore." Not because you don't know your name. Not because you've forgotten your favorite color. But because so much of your life revolves around meeting everyone else's needs that you don’t even remember what makes YOU come alive. Today I want to challenge a thought that many of us carry around, but few of us voice: What if you're not actually having a mom identity crisis?
