    107| Mary, Did You Know? The First Supermom’s Story of Faith and Motherhood

    In this special Christmas episode of Everyday Supermoms, Amy invites listeners into a creative, reflective conversation with Mary—the mother of Jesus. Through imagined dialogue and sound-rich storytelling, we explore Mary’s life before motherhood, her courageous yes to God, the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, and the profound joy and heartbreak of raising a child destined to change the world. This episode gently weaves together themes of surrender, trust, grief, and enduring love—reminding every mom that holiness is often carried in ordinary, messy, everyday moments. 💛 Key Takeaways Motherhood often begins with surrender before clarity Faith doesn’t remove fear—it gives us courage to move forward anyway Love entrusted to us is never truly ours, but deeply sacred God meets us in the middle of imperfect plans The heart of Christmas is love that gives, endures, and never ends “Love that gives. Love that endures. Love that believes—even when it breaks.” “Every mother knows the awe of holding a life entrusted to her for a time.” “God met us in the middle of the mess.” 🔍 Keywords Christian motherhood, Christmas reflection, faith and motherhood, surrender as a mom, spiritual motherhood, Everyday Supermoms podcast, Mary mother of Jesus, trusting God as a mom 📚 Resources Mentioned Scripture reflections from Luke 1–2 Traditional Christmas hymn (“Mary Did You Know” ) About the Guest Mary is the mother of Jesus—often remembered for her obedience, humility, and courageous faith.

    106| Mama Runs the Show: Simple Ways to Protect Your Peace This Christmas- Supermom Short

    Santa may get the spotlight on Christmas morning, but moms are often the ones making the season happen—logistics, emotions, traditions, budgets, and the invisible “magic-making” behind the scenes. If the holidays feel heavy, it’s not because you’re doing it wrong—it’s because you’re doing everything. In this Supermom Short, Amy talks about redefining holiday magic, sharing the load, simplifying traditions without guilt, and building in real-life rest so you can actually enjoy the season. Amy also shares the song she created called Mama Runs the Show at 11:30 A peaceful mom creates more magic than a perfect plan. Your kids remember connection, not the tiny details you exhausted yourself to produce. Delegating isn’t failing—it’s leadership (and you’re great at it). Shared gift lists (whiteboard, kitchen list, Google Sheets) Delegation ideas: stocking stuffers, wrapping help, budgeting for older kids Traditions can evolve: “Maybe not this year” is a full sentence. Rest prevents resentment—small pockets of recovery count. “Santa doesn’t buy all the gifts… Santa swoops in for one night while mom’s been working since November.” “Magic is not exhaustion.” “A peaceful mom creates more magic than a perfect plan.” Keywords: holiday mental load, mom burnout, Christmas stress, invisible labor, family traditions, boundaries, rest, delegation About Amy Grace Amy Grace is a licensed therapist, course creator, author and podcast host, centering everything she does on one mission—supporting moms to be happy, healthy, thriving, supermoms.

    105| Why Moms Must Prioritize Self-Care (Without the Guilt) — with Dr. Katie Murphy

    In this heartfelt conversation, Dr. Katie Murphy shares her journey from a thriving chiropractic career to becoming a mom navigating postpartum depression, emotional overwhelm, and a complete loss of identity. She opens up about the years she struggled silently, her breaking point, and the surprising thing that saved her: movement. Katie explains how community, accountability, mindset work, and her faith helped her rebuild her health from the inside out. Together, we explore why moms resist self-care, how diet culture shapes our beliefs, and what it means to steward our bodies—not for perfection, but for purpose. Key Takeaways Self-care isn’t selfish — it’s essential for living your purpose. You don’t need motivation to start; action creates motivation. Exercise can transform mental health, energy, and emotional tolerance. Diet culture complicates food and body image for moms and teens. Sustainable wellness starts small: one walk, one meal, one choice.Highlighted Quotes “If I don’t take care of myself, I can’t love my people from a whole place.” “Motivation doesn’t come first — actions come first.” “My kids watched me change, and it changed them too.” “Movement saved me from depression.” Self-care for moms, postpartum depression, mom burnout, faith and motherhood, healthy habits, movement for mental health, diet culture, mom guilt, holistic wellness Dr. Katie’s Website + 20 Free Recipes: www.flourish-health-coaching.com Katie Mae Murphy (Instagram + Facebook) Dr. Katie Murphy is a chiropractor, coach, and mom of four daughters.

  4. 104| One Year Anniversary- A Letter to Supermoms

    12/02/2025

    104| One Year Anniversary- A Letter to Supermoms

    In this special one-year anniversary episode of Everyday Supermoms, Amy reflects on a year that didn’t go as planned—knee surgeries, a declining parent, growing a business, raising three kids, and simply trying to hold it all together. Through it all, she discovered something sacred and surprising: joy doesn’t come from perfect circumstances; it rises above them. Drawing from the last year of conversations with everyday supermoms, Amy shares the truths that surfaced again and again: motherhood rarely matches the plan, perfection never saved anyone, and the bravest moms are the ones who keep showing up—messy, tearful, hopeful, and still choosing love. This episode is a spoken love letter to every mom who feels tired, behind, or not enough. Motherhood almost never looks like we imagined—and that doesn’t mean we’re failing. Joy isn’t dependent on circumstances; it can coexist with pain and exhaustion. Perfection doesn’t help our kids—presence, honesty, and connection do. Asking for help doesn’t cancel your “supermom” status; it confirms your humanity. You’re not behind; you’re becoming. Your story, healing, and presence matter. “Supermom isn’t a title you earn; it’s a truth you uncover.” “You are not behind. You are becoming.” “Superpowers don’t always look heroic. Sometimes they look human.” “You have been holding heavy things this year—and you didn’t drop them.” “Your kids don’t need a perfect mom; they need you.” Motherhood, Supermom, imperfect parenting, mom guilt, joy in hardship, resilience, faith, emotional load, mental health for moms, motherhood expectations Follow Amy on Instagram: @supermomwithamygrace Learn more about Amy’s offerings and resources: www.amygrace.bio Amy Grace is a licensed therapist, course creator, author and podcast host, centering everything she does on one mission—supporting moms to be happy, healthy, thriving, supermoms.

    103| Rewiring Anxiety in Motherhood with Shelley Martinez

    Amy sits down with therapist Shelley Martinez to talk about one of the most common and misunderstood challenges moms face—anxiety. Shelley opens up about her personal experiences with perfectionism and overachievement before motherhood, and how becoming a mom forced her to confront her anxious patterns. Together, they explore how anxiety manifests physically, why traditional thought-based approaches often fall short, and how moms can use body-based techniques like diaphragmatic breathing, tapping, and movement to calm the nervous system. Shelley’s story is a reminder that healing doesn’t mean eliminating anxiety—it means changing your relationship with it. Key Takeaways: Anxiety isn’t just in your head—it lives in your body, too. Breathing techniques like the 4-4-6-2 pattern can calm your vagus nerve and stop fight-or-flight. Movement, singing, and laughter are powerful regulation tools for moms. You can model emotional regulation for your kids through your own calm. Healing anxiety is about rewiring—not perfection. Highlighted Quotes: “I didn’t want to be the kind of mom whose kids only remembered the sound of me gasping.” – Shelley Martinez“You can’t just think your way out of anxiety. Your body has to feel safe first.” – Amy Grace“As long as you have a body, your nervous system will respond to breath.” – Shelley Martinez“Every time we learn something new, we’re literally rewiring our brain.” – Shelley Martinez Keywords: motherhood anxiety, nervous system regulation, diaphragmatic breathing, vagus nerve, tapping therapy, mom stress, emotional regulation for moms, body-based healing Resources Mentioned: Free 25-minute Instant Calm class from Shelley Amy’s therapy and coaching resources: amygrace.bio The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk About the Guest:Shelley Martinez is a licensed therapist with nearly three decades of experience helping clients heal anxiety, stress, and trauma.

    102|Surviving Family Gatherings: A Supermom's Guide to Healthy Holiday Boundaries

    The holidays can be joyful, sentimental, and full of connection—but they can also stir up anxiety, overwhelm, and boundary violations that leave moms emotionally drained. In this Supermom Short, Amy breaks down practical, real-world tools for setting and enforcing boundaries with family during holiday gatherings. From time limits and parenting decisions to physical boundaries and emotional safety, this episode empowers moms to protect their peace without cutting off important relationships. Boundaries are not walls—they’re doors that let in what’s healthy and keep out what harms your peace. You can prepare your partner and kids with a simple plan or signal. You don’t owe long explanations. A calm, repeated sentence (“We’re heading out at 3”) is enough. You can protect your kids in real time with simple redirections. Post-event debriefing helps create a better plan for next year. “Boundaries help you protect your own emotional bandwidth—and your family’s wellbeing.” “If your boundaries make people uncomfortable, their discomfort doesn’t require your guilt.” “You’re not responsible for everyone else’s holiday expectations.” Keywords: holiday boundaries, family dynamics, motherhood stress, emotional safety, parenting boundaries, holiday gatherings, anxiety during holidays Emotional regulation strategies (breathing, visualization) Communication tools like “broken record” and redirection About Your Host Amy Grace is a licensed therapist, course creator, author and podcast host, centering everything she does on one mission—supporting moms to be happy, healthy, thriving, supermoms.

    101| From Survival to Self-Compassion: Michele Hoover's Journey to Overcoming Chronic Illness & Comparison

    In this inspiring conversation, Amy Grace chats with coach and mother Michele Hoover about the emotional and physical challenges she faced as a young mom battling chronic illness, isolation, and relentless self-comparison. Michele shares how years of feeling unseen and unsupported led her into deep burnout—and how nervous system regulation, mindset work, and emotional healing transformed her approach to motherhood. You’ll hear real talk on imperfect parenting, attachment styles, people-pleasing, and the surprising power of silly moments on a living room floor. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough, this episode will leave you feeling validated, understood, and inspired to start showing yourself the same compassion you offer everyone else. Key Takeaways Chronic illness and unrecognized stress often go hand-in-hand—especially for moms constantly in survival mode. Comparison is a major motherhood trap that can lead to disconnection and self-doubt. Nervous system regulation is a critical (and often missing) piece of healing and parenting with peace. Repair and vulnerability in parenting—especially with teens—can transform relationships. Shifting “I should” to “I could” creates space for self-compassion and intention. Kids don’t expect perfection—they need love, presence, and repair. Embracing your imperfections helps your kids feel safe embracing theirs. Key Quotes: From Michele Hoover: “I was in survival mode for years without even realizing it.” “Comparison is the thief of connection—not just with others, but with yourself.” “There is no expectation from your children for you to be perfect. They just want to know they are loved.” “The compassion you give everyone else becomes your superpower when you turn it inward.” “You’re not failing. You’re just carrying an expectation backpack that isn’t even yours.” From Amy Grace: “Instead of focusing on the highlight reel, we so often get stuck in our outtakes.” “Yes, your kid might need therapy. So do we all—and that doesn’t mean you failed as a mom.” “Our biggest weaknesses are often the flip side of our greatest strengths.” “I will hold on to hope when you can’t.” Michele Hoover is a coach, educator, and mom of two teens who helps women reconnect with themselves by integrating mindset coaching, attachment theory, and nervous system regulation. After years of chronic illness, burnout, and perfectionism, Michele transformed her life and now supports others in doing the same. She’s passionate about helping moms release shame, rebuild identity, and rediscover joy in motherhood through deep compassion and connection.

    100!| The Five Truths Every Supermom Learns

    Amy marks 100 episodes with the core lessons moms repeat: expectations rarely match reality; you get to create your own version of motherhood; self-care is essential maintenance, not indulgence; community is non-negotiable; and resilience blooms when you hold the “ands” of motherhood—hard and beautiful. Key Takeaways Expectations vs. reality is where struggle and growth are born. “Create your own motherhood”—ditch the box, tailor rhythms to your strengths. Self-care = daily maintenance (sleep, nourishment, support), not just spa days. Build a village—moms were never meant to do this solo. Hold the “ands”: tired and thankful; overwhelmed and proud. Highlighted Quotes “Being a supermom isn’t about doing it all. It’s about doing it with purpose.” “Resilience is the superpower.” “You are allowed to be tired and thankful.” Keywordsmotherhood expectations, self-care for moms, build your village, resilience, emotional flexibility, Supermom identity, mom mental health Resources Mentioned Supermom Resource Bundle Everyday Supermoms website topic search (postpartum, empty nest, etc.).
