1. The Juggle is Real: The Struggle to Find Balance as Working Moms & Military Women who Want to Have a Family

Hey friend! In balancing taking care of our children, performing & producing in our work, managing the home, nurturing our marriages, maintaining our own health & fitness, the juggle is real, am I right? And the struggle is REALLY real as mothers in uniform.

If you’re in the trenches navigating pregnancy, postpartum, big transitions, identity shifts, or are simply feeling stressed, torn, exhausted, pulled in a million directions, guilty, always pressured to prove yourself by doing it all and doing it all perfectly, or feel like you’ve lost yourself, your joy, or what matters most somewhere in the thick of trying to survive it all, I see you.

We are all giving & sacrificing so much of ourselves, carrying such an invisible load.

We’re pushing through, trying to keep it all together but it’s easy to feel like a failure and like we can’t give 100% at work or at home. It’s easy to feel like we’re forced to choose between being a great wife & mom or a great leader, or like we can’t be as present as we want to be in either.

It’s easy to feel isolated as a Christian woman in the military, or a mother who truly wants to put your faith and family first in an environment where that doesn’t feel truly valued.

In this episode, we dive into these shared struggles in building our family while building God’s kingdom through the military or other forms of service.

We cover why we often feel stuck, trapped, or lose our way, we debunk some myths & narratives society wants us to believe that make it much harder to find a sustainable balance, and discuss how God wants to lead us toward greater fulfillment in all He calls us to do.
