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!
 
I talked a lot about shifting your perspective last week. It’s crucial to look at where you are now and see the situation from God’s point of view. To see yourself from His point of view. He has a plan for your life, He was intentional in your creation. He didn’t make a mistake. Look at your life now and ask yourself, what does God see?
 
We have talked through marriage, purpose and God’s calling, motherhood, anxiety, depression, losing yourself as a mom, there are a lot of things we have just touched the surface of. You are a mom. That is the best purpose you could ever have.
 
God has given us all gifts, talents, abilities, and spiritual giftings to make a difference in this world. If you are feeling unfulfilled in your life, it’s probably because you aren’t living out the calling God has placed on your life and just living day to day trying to just get through it all.
 
When you have this ache inside of you, God is telling you that there is more you are called to do. But it all starts with one simple thing. Well, actually two. It takes you continually trusting God in every circumstance, but the thing we are delving into today… is perspective.
 
Shift your perspective and find the joy, and excitement in life!

Hey Mama!
 
Part 2 in this weeks two part series!
 
To the mom that feels exhausted and depleted because she's living day to day not actually living out the purpose that God has put her on this earth for other than being a mom. Being a mom is the best purpose that God could give anyone, but there is more. There is more to your purpose here on earth than being a mom.
 
God has called you to go into all the world and preach the gospel, whether that means in your neighborhood, through your church, in your family, it doesn’t have to be going to another country, that is what we are called to do!
 
When you feel so depleted and exhausted and worn out, waking up not wanting to do the normal daily tasks, when you wake up feeling depleted before the day has even begun, one reason is because you aren’t living out the purpose God has called you to do. It’s because you aren’t excited to do life because you aren’t fulfilling the calling on your life.
 
You aren’t operating in the gifts God has given you, and you aren’t fulfilled doing basic tasks. You are called to more and you aren’t living that more you are called to, so it isn’t a fulfilling life. How can you live a fulfilling life? We are going to be walking through that this week!

Hey Mama!
 
Is your marriage what you dream of it being? Maybe you are struggling, wondering if your marriage is going to make it through this season. Or maybe you are just living each day wondering if this is all there is to your marriage. 
 
These three tips can help you communicate more effectively and grow stronger in your relationship in ways you have only dreamed! We have seen amazing growth in our marriage because of it and you will too.
 
Things aren’t going to change over night, it will take time and persistence in your fight for your marriage from both of you for you to start to see change, but the more you persist, the more you pray, the more you will start to see those little changes happen, then, soon, those small changes will grow into big changes. And before you know it, your marriage is stronger than you could imagine and you are doing mighty things for God TOGETHER!

Hey Mama!
 
Are you struggling to help your kiddos feel loved? Do they constantly need something from you and you just can't seem to keep up or figure out how to manage all the kids and their constant need for attention?
 
Whether you are adding another child into your home, or you have several kids you are trying to keep happy and help them feel loved, this is for you. We all feel loved in different ways, kids are the same. And each child in a family are all going to need different things in order to feel loved. So how do you navigate this all? It can be hard.
 
You may feel like you are doing everything right, then your kids say something like, you love her more than me! Or why do you love the baby more than you love me? Or maybe it’s more subtle cues like acting out when it’s out of the norm, or being more clingy and you just can’t understand why? You aren’t failing. It’s easy to feel that way and let mom guilt creep in, but you aren’t. Maybe you just need to adjust your methods a little. These two tips can help!

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
