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.

    34 | Could Rediscovering Yourself Actually Give You More Energy to Give Your Kids?

    Wish you could add something you actually ENJOY back into your life—but you're afraid you'll have even less energy for your kids? Wondering how you're supposed to make room for yourself when you're already giving everything you have to your family? Worried that doing something you love will just become one more thing draining your already-limited energy? In this episode, we’re diving into that fear that adding something you love back into your life will just take MORE energy away from your family — and why that isn't necessarily true!  I'm sharing how I started thinking about my own energy as a budget, how that changed the way I looked at the things I was adding back into my life, and why adding the RIGHT pieces of who you are can actually give you MORE energy and capacity for the people you love. You can DO this, mama, and I'm praying you through!   Links & Resources Mentioned: Join our free Facebook group: scatteredwoman.com/community The 6 Types of Working Genius (book & audiobook): https://a.co/d/0hzRTxE5   The Working Genius Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-working-genius-podcast-with-patrick-lencioni/id1553105854  Check out ALL things Working Genius – including the Working Genius Assessment – on their website: https://www.workinggenius.com/  Learn more about the Energy Budget concept in Episode 29 | You Don’t Suck at Being a Mom.

    30 | Mama, It's Time to Revisit That Dream You Put on Hold

    Did you have dreams for your life before you became a stay-at-home mom—but somewhere along the way, you put them on hold? Do you ever wonder what happened to the woman who used to have goals, dreams, and things she couldn’t wait to try? Feel like you’re so focused on taking care of everyone else that you don’t even know what YOU want anymore? What if that dream you tucked away years ago isn’t gone after all—and it might be time to take another look at it? This week, we’re talking about those dreams you’ve carried for years—the ones that got pushed aside when motherhood, family, and everyday life took priority. I’ll share why I’m learning that we don’t always need to know HOW a dream will happen before we take that first step toward it, and how God may be inviting you to trust Him with the pieces of your purpose that you can’t see yet.  If you’ve been wondering what’s next, feeling like parts of yourself have gotten lost in motherhood, or simply have a dream you’re not ready to give up on, this episode is for you. ❤️   Links & Resources Mentioned: Our free Facebook community: https://scatteredwoman.com/community Check out Abraham’s story in Genesis 12.   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 our free Facebook community for mamas who are rediscovering who they are and who they’re meant to be in this season of life.  – 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

    29 | You Don't Suck at Being a Mom. Here's What's REALLY Going On...

    Have you ever had one of those days where you feel like an utter failure as a stay-at-home mom?    ✅ You forgot to defrost the chicken for dinner, so you end up eating out... again... and completely blowing the budget you worked so hard to make zero out.   ✅ You yelled at your kids because you had to tell them a fourteenth time to get their dirty socks out from under the bed.    ✅ You finally get the kids to bed and fall into bed yourself, exhausted, but still feeling like you didn't accomplish anything you really wanted to during the day.    I used to live in that perpetual state of overwhelm, burnout, and just feeling like a walking #momfail. So, if you're feeling ALL THIS ⬆️⬆️⬆️, you're absolutely not alone.    But, I feel like I've finally turned a corner and identified WHY I was stuck in that cycle to begin with. Once I knew WHY it was happening, I could finally DO something about it!    Now, don't get me wrong, I still have days where I spiral, but they are SO much fewer and farther between than they used to be. It's one of those small victories that make it feel like I finally have a tiny bit of breathing room, like I don't completely suck at being a mom.   So, I want to share what I've learned with you. And it just might change your stay-at-home mom life, too!   Links & Resources Mentioned: The 6 Types of Working Genius (book & audiobook): https://a.co/d/0hzRTxE5  Check out ALL things Working Genius – including the Working Genius Assessment – on their website: https://www.workinggenius.com/  Episode 19 | Working Genius: The Productivity Tool That Made My Life as a SAHM Finally Make SENSE!

    27 | What Is God Calling You to Do Next? (A Devotional for Stay-at-Home Moms)

    Have you ever felt like God is asking you to do something that is just too BIG for you to handle?    If you have, you’re going to resonate with this week’s episode, which is a devotional for stay-at-home moms, just like you, all about Gideon and his introduction to God’s call on his life.    Did you know HE responded to God in much the same ways WE tend to react when God throws something new at us? He did! It’s simultaneously crazy and comforting to see ourselves reflected in Scripture, so I hope you are inspired and encouraged by this week’s episode.     Find Gideon’s story in Judges 6.   Links & Resources Mentioned: Episode 18: What Challenging Truth Does Your Name Reveal about Your Personal Identity as a SAHM? https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/18-what-challenging-truth-does-your-name-reveal-about/id1832015702?i=1000772003342 Book your clarity call at https://scatteredwoman.com/clarity.    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
