Say Goodbye to Burnout
Hey sweet mama!
If you’ve been in a space of overwhelm, exhaustion, struggle, and feeling like you are just not good enough…Maybe you feel the tug to step into your authority as a present mom and wife while still pursuing your career… but you’re unsure how to integrate everything with more peace and intention while staying partnered with God. And you are truly ready to figure out who God is calling you to be in your life. Then this podcast for YOU!
Hi I’m Cynthia, director (both at work and at home), entrepreneur, busy working boy mom of two here on earth and two in heaven, wife, and daughter of the King. After struggling to be the patient and loving mom I wanted to be, constantly burntout, having outbursts of anger towards my family, allowing the enemy to torment me with food, striving to always please people, and believing I was failing in all areas of life, I spent years finding my identity in Christ. Fighting against the spiritual bondage of perfectionism, worry, fear of failure and growing my trust in Jesus, have allowed me to experience healing, restoration, and freedom. After navigating who God has called me to be as a wife, mom, leader in higher education, and businesswoman I was transformed! Through that shift, I was led to creating this safe space for other working moms to explore their own identity in Christ and create a rooted, whole, life-God’s way with His priorities and energy!
This Holy Spirt-Led podcast is going to help you find TRUE freedom, while resting in Jesus, rising into your authority, and raising kingdom kids. AMEN!
Here in this space you will be encouraged, empowered, and partnered with Jesus to get breakthrough in your faith, motherhood, wellness, and mindset so that you can have victory, as a mama who is resting and living light, in the presence, with peace, joy and fulfillment. You will find tactical training, tips, biblical truths, inspiring guests, honest stories from women just like you, self care tips, and so much more!
Grab your coffee or glass of wine and let’s dive in!
You were born for such a time as this!
