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!
 
Lack of sleep has gotten me ever since we came back from the hospital since Caleb was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes, but that’s ok. It’s just a season. But this is a season that many mamas can’t just say that’s ok to. They are completely drained, exhausted, and have a hard time just getting through the day let alone enjoy the season.
 
So how do you make it through this season and be able to enjoy it despite the lack of sleep? These 6 tips will help!
 
Remember, this truly is a season, no matter what season you are in, infant, toddler, or teen, those kiddos are only this age once. You don’t want to miss out because you put so much pressure on yourself to be perfect, to do what you thought you had to do, and then didn’t enjoy the season with them. You don’t have to be the perfect mom, you just have to be the mom they need.

Hey Mama!
 
I know it can be hard, and most days you may feel defeated and less than the other moms you see around you. But you aren’t alone. And you don’t need to feel defeated. You did a magnificent job, no matter the mistakes you made, you did amazing! 
 
I want to encourage you that no matter how this past year has gone, who you have in your life or don’t have in your life to tell you how amazing you are, you truly are amazing! God has called you to the life you are living. You can enjoy it and take things as they come, or you can let it bring you down, feel defeated, and let it discourage you and feel that mom guilt that you are not enough. But you are. You are enough. 
 
Don't forget that this Mother's Day!

Hey Mama!
 
Do you have a way to recharge? Do you constantly feel depleted with no way to fill yourself up again? You give and give, when do you care for yourself? You have to take care of yourself if you are going to care properly for the ones you love.
 
Anxiety can rear its ugly head in many different ways. When you have a way to combat it and give yourself what you need, you will feel recharged in ways you never imagined!
 
Kari Davis talks to us about what she went through and how she found her self care routine to build the life she loves!

Hey Mama!
 
Has the thought ever crossed your mind…who am I? Who am I apart from the title mom? If we aren’t careful, being a mom will take over and we won’t know who we are anymore other than a mom.
 
Don’t get me wrong, being a mom is the best job in the whole world. I couldn’t imagine my life without my kiddos and would never go back to not having the title mom. But being a mom isn’t the ONLY job we are called to do. So who are you apart from being a mom? Do you know? What happens when your kids grow up and leave the house, what will you do? Do you know who you are without the kids around?
 
When we have kids living at home, our lives can tend to revolve around them, no matter their ages, but it doesn’t mean you should give up your dreams, passions, and hearts desires. God has put those in you for a reason. Let’s explore how to get that back!

Hey Mama!
 
How do you trust God when it seems like everything is crashing down around you? Managing your life is more than just time management. Time management helps you get everything done without feeling overwhelmed, but there is a lot more to managing your life in a way you can enjoy it through every season.
 
It can be hard to trust God when you look at everything surrounding you and it seems like there is no way out, there is no way around, and no way through. You are stuck and this is it. It’s difficult in those seasons. It’s easy to let our emotions take control and get sucked into the way things appear in the natural.
 
But remember, God is doing things behind the scenes you can’t see. Trust God through it all, no matter how difficult the situation and He will see you through! I’m bringing you 3 ways to trust God in the midst of the difficult season. It won’t always be easy, but it will be worth it!

Hey Mama!
 
Time management doesn’t mean being able to do ALL the things. Time management means being able to do all the IMPORTANT things well. Where are your priorities? Is your day in line with those priorities or is it off kilter a bit?
 
Some priorities will always stay the same, and others may shift from season to season, but knowing your priorities and when things need to shift is a crucial aspect of managing your time and day effectively. My priorities haven’t necessarily changed this week, but the time I spend in those priorities has changed drastically. Let’s dive into priorities, what they are, and how to adjust when seasons change.

Hey Mama!
 
The devil is a liar, a thief, and he is out for our family but we won't stand for it! We are standing on God's promises and know that HE has the final say!
 
The Bible says in John 10:10 that the devil is out to kill, steel, and destroy, but God has come to bring life and life more abundantly! We have been called to live an abundant life and that means over and above not just mediocre, and not with disease.
 
Listen to our recent journey as a second child in our family and our youngest was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. He may have that diagnosis but we believe that God is our healer and what the Bible says is still true today! We could have gotten angry, defeated, let our heartbreak break us, but we decided long before this ever happened that in hard times we would cling to the hope that is Jesus Christ!

Hey Mama!
 
Tomorrow is our anniversary! I spent 6 years as a single mom, feeling like that would be my life forever, but still having hope that God had something else planned. Enter in my sexy man! He was totally worth the wait.
 
If you are in the season of hoping for that life partner to come your way, don't stop hoping. If you are in the season of not enjoying the life partner you have, find a reason to enjoy him. Or maybe you just adore your spouse but are always wanting to grow in your relationship. I want to celebrate my anniversary with you by talking about that partnership. 
 
We are talking about growing on your own so you can grow together. Marriage is a partnership. How can you be an effective partner if you don’t even know what you can contribute? Or how your contribution can better things, whether it’s in a marriage, a friendship, or a business partnership? To be a great partner, you need to be great on your own.

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
