Restored Mama - Break Burnout! Faith, motherhood, and messy grace. Let’s restore your joy, your peace, and your purpose one episode at a time.
Find joy, peace, and purpose amidst the chaos. Break the burnout! Are you an overwhelmed mom just trying to survive the day until bedtime… again? Do you feel like you’re running on empty—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually—while trying to juggle kids, marriage, faith, and a never-ending to-do list? Maybe connecting with your husband feels impossible because you’re just too exhausted and burnt out. Mama, you’re not alone—and it doesn’t have to stay this way.
Welcome to Restored Mama—a faith-filled podcast created for moms who are craving more peace, joy, and purpose in the middle of real, messy motherhood. Whether you’re drowning in laundry, navigating tantrums, or feeling distant from God (and your spouse), this podcast will help you trade survival mode for intentional, Christ-centered living.
I’m Jen—wife, mama, former single mom, stepmom, and daughter of the King. I know what it’s like to feel completely drained and unsure of how to keep going. But through God’s grace, simple structure, and a whole lot of restoration, I found a way to rebuild my home and my heart—with Jesus at the center. Now, I’m here to help you do the same.
Each week on Restored Mama, you’ll find:
Biblical encouragement to ground your heart and mind
Simple habits and practical tools to create peace in your home
Christ-centered routines and mindset shifts for everyday mom life
Real talk about marriage, motherhood, burnout, and balance
A supportive, honest space for moms who love Jesus but need rest
You’ll learn how to prioritize what matters most, go to bed feeling accomplished (instead of defeated), and wake up excited for the day ahead—even in the chaos. You’ll rediscover passion in your marriage, connection with your kids, and purpose in your motherhood, all while growing in your faith.
So grab that reheated coffee, take a deep breath, and let’s start this journey together. Because restoration is possible—for you, your home, your heart, and your family.
God doesn’t just restore—He makes things better than they were before.

Hey Mama!
Anxiety, depression, and overwhelm is all too prominent in the younger generation. Could your child be struggling with any of these, or all of these?
Through all the responsibilities, jam packed schedules, high demands, and massive peer pressures, our kids have so much more to cause anxiety than we did as kids. Today, we are walking through tools that you as a mama can help your child to work through this anxiety and come out on the other side stronger and free!
Love you Mama!

Hey Mama!
What expectations have you set for your kids? Are you met with frustration, anger, and disappointment when they act out and don't meet those expectations?
We are talking about expectations for our kids verses reality, why those expectations may not be met, how to handle it, and how to handle yourself in those situations. It's not easy as a busy mom to expect something from your kids, only to be met with the realization they aren't meeting those time and again. We hash it out today and talk through several solutions to help work through it.
Love you Mama!

Hey Mama!
Our kids really know how to push our buttons, don’t they? How do you react when your kids are behaving badly or don't listen?
God is our heavenly father, and he disciplines us, but it is always out of love, grace, and mercy. That is how we are to discipline our kids. But we are human, we aren't perfect and there are days that we will lose it too! I have 8 questions for you to ask yourself and reflect on as you learn to train your children up in the way they should go. Just as Proverbs 22:6 says.
Love you Mama!

Hey Mama!
Depression, fear, anxiety, unfulfilled? I know....all the trigger words! It's real life! But it doesn't have to be. God has called you to greatness, mama.
God has called you to greatness and His word says that His children are blessed. You can be the epitome of success in the worlds view, but not be creating disciples. It's ok to be successful, to have the money, have the things, but are you living for yourself, or are you living to live out the calling of God on your life?
When you live to serve, that is when you can feel what true success in the kingdom of God is and what true fulfillment is.

Do you find yourself waking up day after day, struggling with depression, fear of what is to come, anxiety, and feeling unfulfilled? I know....all the trigger words!
It's time to live a life that you AND your kids can be proud of! God has called you to more. Mathew 28 says that we are called to make disciples. That is the great commission. You can be the epitome of success in the worlds view, but not be creating disciples. It's ok to be successful, to have the money, have the things, but are you living for yourself, or are you living to live out the calling of God on your life?
When you live to serve, that is when you can feel what true success in the kingdom of God is and what true fulfillment is.

Have you given your life to Christ? If so then you can be free from this! You have the Holy Spirit living inside of you and you are a new creation! It's time to stand on God's promises and live the life He has called you to live, and have fun!

Hey Mama!
Are you worn out and working so hard in life but seeing no results? Or maybe you are seeing results but not fulfilled in those results.
Listen as we discuss John 15 and what it means to abide and rest in Jesus. John 15 says that the Father is the vinedresser and Jesus is the true vine. What does that actually mean? How does that help us busy moms?
When we learn to abide, or rest, in Jesus, let Him put the effort in, we will see the true rewards!

Hey Mama!
Imagine the alarm going off, you hit snooze, and before you know it your kids are running in your room to wake you up to make them breakfast, or your littles are screaming in their beds for you to come get them. So you crawl out of bed half asleep rubbing the dried sleep goop out of your eyes as you peel yourself off the bed and out of the room.
You rush to do your business in the bathroom grab the kids, pour yourself a cup of coffee that ends up sitting there getting cold and you have to reheat it 3 times before you end up dumping it in the sink or drinking it lukewarm for the unpteenth morning in a row. By the time the morning is done, you are running on auto pilot, no time to yourself, knowing how difficult the rest of the day may be if it goes like all the other days, and you are already looking forward to bed time.
Is this you? Has it been you? It’s so not fun to start your day like this. It CAN be better!
I used to let my kids determine my wake up time, and when I worked out of the house, I often times would still wake up around the same time as when I had to get my kids up. Those mornings were not fun. I was always rushing, whether I had to get the kids up and going and ready for school, while I got ready for work, or when I was working from home, if I let the kids determine my wake up time, I was rushing from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to bed. Why is that?
When you start your day off with chaos, you are going to be in that mindset for the rest of the day, unless you are extremely intentional about getting out of that mindset, but it is often difficult to do once you are there.
You are playing catch up the entire time. Playing defense instead of offense, reacting to each situation, instead of being prepared. That is not an effective state to be in and will make you completely exhausted by the end of the day.
Starting with a morning routine, getting yourself in the right frame of mind instead of starting off with chaos, will make all the difference for the rest of your day.

Hey Mama!
Summer is coming to a close, but there is still a short amount of summer left! Let’s enjoy it with our kids! I have 5 steps to enjoy the end of summer on a budget leaving the stress of the school year transition behind.
As the summer comes to a close and you go through the preparations we discussed in episode 81 for the back to school transition, the kids may be having a difficult time, maybe they are getting bored a little more easily, or maybe they want to do some last hurrahs before the summer ends. Perhaps they have been spending a bit too much of their summer on electronics so mama can get her stuff done.
Perhaps you have spent too much money on fun summer stuff and you realize it’s time to crack down on the budget, but that means no fun last hurrahs before the end of summer. Then today is for you mama! Enjoy!

Restored Mama Method
From overwhelmed with no time, to find rest and be a mindful mom - Get your JOY back!
Life is meant to be truly lived! Being a mindful mom means to be fully present in all those moments through the day. To actually LIVE in the moment, love your life (in every season). Your attitude will be peaceful, less yelling and frustration, you will live more intentional, and have time in the day to do what you love!
"Mindful: focusing one's awareness on the present moment." -Oxford Dictionary
