How Married Are You?

You're Not Gonna be a Lazy Mother #HMAY Ep. 262

“Am I going to be a lazy mom?”

A 23-year-old listener is glowing with excitement about her first pregnancy 👶🏾—but beneath the joy, fear lingers. Raised tough, she worries she won’t be nurturing enough, won’t have the energy, won’t measure up. Her 25-year-old husband is steady and supportive, but she’s left asking: How do I step into motherhood when doubt whispers louder than confidence?

We talk:

💡 Why parenting starts in the womb—and how small daily choices already shape connection

🛑 The lie of the “lazy mom” and why rest is a requirement, not a weakness

💸 Facing financial fears with faith and resilience instead of scarcity thinking

🍼 How breastfeeding, bonding, and even “missed invitations” become training grounds for grace

🌱 Learning to parent yourself first so you can parent your child with confidence and compassion

Have you ever doubted you’d be “enough” as a parent? How did you find your footing?
