    25 | How To Stick To A Routine While Being A Mom

    Have you ever believed that if you could just stick to a routine, life would feel easier—only to quit and spiral into self criticism?   In this episode, Jill Gockel speaks directly to the exhausted mom who feels stuck between wanting structure and feeling overwhelmed by stress, mom guilt, and the mental load of being a mom. If you’re trying to juggle all the things, get things done, set goals, and still find joy—but keep falling back into old habits—this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.   Find out why failing to follow a daily routine isn’t a motivation problem or a character flaw. It’s how the brain responds to pressure, anxiety and stress, and perceived overload. When moms are already stretched thin, routines can actually increase mom stress—triggering self sabotage, negative self talk, and the belief that you feel like a failure as a mom.   In this episode, you’ll learn:   Why routines often increase anxiety and stress instead of providing stress relief How self sabotage is your brain seeking safety, not failure Why old habits die hard How chronic stress fuels mom burnout and mom guilt Why perfectionism and doing it all keeps moms stuck How to create a routine aligned with your values, not pressure Why small habits matter more than big new year resolutions How enjoying the process provides stress relief and helps routines stick Why routines aren’t a self worth test but nervous system support     Jill also shares practical mom tips for building routines that reduce anxiety, support getting things done, and help you show up as a calmer, more present good mom. You’ll learn how purpose—not willpower—is the key to sticking to a routine, and how grace-filled consistency helps moms stop cycling through stress and burnout.   This episode offers words of encouragement for any mom wondering how to be a good mom while managing mom stress, self criticism, and daily pressure.   💛 You don’t need to prove yourself. 💛 You don’t need to do it all. 💛 You are already a good mom, right now.     Motherhood isn’t about doing it all — it’s about finding joy in the moments that matter most. Together, we’re going to conquer mom stress, one small step at a time.   👉 If this episode encouraged you, share it with another mom who might need it.

    24 | How to Build Self Worth As A Mother

    What if your self value whiling being a mom didn’t depend on how much you got done today?   In this episode of Conquer Mom Stress, Jill Gockel gently challenges the belief so many moms carry—that finding your worth comes from your productivity, performance, and how well you “hold it all together.” If you’re feeling like a failure as a mom on days when the house is messy, the kids are melting down, or your to-do list goes untouched, this episode is for you.   Many moms unknowingly live under a constant performance-based scorecard—a self worth test of how productive, patient, or put-together you were that day.

It will help you to know your worth bible verses like the Prodigal Son remind you of your identity in Christ. Jill explains the importance of self worth rooted not in what you do—but in whose you are.   You’ll learn:   Why tying self esteem to productivity increases mom stress and burnout How performance-based worth keeps moms stuck in pressure comparing yourself to others What it truly means for knowing your worth as a woman and as a mother Why anchoring your identity in God transforms how to be happy as a mom The reason being a good mom has nothing to do with perfection—and everything to do with love     This episode offers relief for the mom who feels like she has to be everything for everyone, all the time. It invites you to step off the invisible scoreboard, stop striving to prove yourself so you dont compare yourself to others.   You’ll also learn practical mom tips for how to get things done and how to be productive without attaching your identity to performance.   If you’re longing to know how to build self worth and how to stop comparing yourself to others so you can gain deeper peace and joy as a mom, this conversation will help you rest in God's truth instead of striving to be perfect.   💛 You don’t have to earn your value. 💛 You don’t have to prove you’re enough. 💛 You are already deeply loved—and from that place, joy can grow again.   If this message encouraged you, share it with another mom who's wondering how to know your self worth so she can recognize she is already worthy, right now.

    20 | New Year Resolutions Without Mom Stress

    As January approaches, many moms feel dread instead of motivation when thinking about New Years Resolutions. In this episode, Jill Gockel speaks directly to the overwhelmed mom who wants to grow but feels buried under stress, mom stress, and exhaustion.  Jill shares why a traditional New Years Resolution often leads to mom burnout and increased mom guilt—not because moms lack discipline, but because their brains are wired for safety, not sudden massive change.

This episode introduces a healthier way of setting goals using The Compound Effect, showing how small, consistent actions help moms achieve goals without triggering stress. Instead of chasing perfection, Jill teaches how tiny habits reduce pressure, build confidence, and create lasting change over time. You’ll also hear encouraging Bible verses and heartfelt words of encouragement that remind moms God rejoices in small beginnings. Growth doesn’t require force—it requires faith, consistency, and grace. If you’re ready to pursue goals without guilt, reclaim peace, and grow in a way that fits your season of motherhood, this episode will help you start the new year grounded, hopeful, and supported. Motherhood isn’t about doing it all—it’s about finding joy in the moments that matter most.
