• 68 | You Prayed for Growth, but Not the Storm That Brings It - Devotion
    Mar 27 2026
    Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in a “winter season” of motherhood — where everything feels heavy, repetitive, or draining — and wonder if you’re doing something wrong? Have you caught yourself comparing your messy, stormy days to another mom’s sunshine moments and instantly felt your self-worth drop? Are you holding onto routines, expectations, or priorities that used to work in a different season of motherhood but now only leave you overwhelmed or guilty? If so, you’re in the right place. Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how life mirrors storms, there is good that can come out of the bad, and how God is still in the middle with us so you can learn to recognize God in the middle of your circumstances. 1. Every season has a purpose — even the ones that feel cold, dark, or hopeless. Winter seasons may feel like death or loss, but they’re often clearing space for something new to grow. 🌧️ 2. Growth requires storms — not comfort. Spring storms are uncomfortable, messy, and disruptive, yet they’re the very thing that produces maturity, strength, and new life. 🌞 3. Joy becomes deeper when you’ve walked through seasons of hardship. We appreciate the “summer” seasons more fully because we’ve endured the cold and the storms that came before them. 🌱 4. God uses endings to make room for beginnings. Sometimes He brings things to a close so you can step into a new season without being held back by what once was. 🙌 5. Whatever season you’re in, God is steady, present, and intentional. He is the same in winter, spring, and summer — and He is using your current season to shape you, grow you, and draw you closer to Him.

  • 67 | The Storm, the Crumbling, and the God Who Still Holds Me
    Mar 25 2026

    Does motherhood feel like a never-ending wave of storms?

    Are you wondering where God is when everything is falling apart?

    Do you know who God is when life is hard?

    If so, you’re in the right place.

    Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom.

    In this episode, I’m sharing how God is still present even when life is hard and maybe even a little depressed. No matter how messy mom life is, how perfect other people's lives seem compared to yours, or if your self-worth crumbling as fast as your overcooked meatloaf, God is there.

    Key takeaways:

    • Life is filled with storms AND times of beauty and peace.
    • Like it or not, moms set the tone for the home. Our kids feed off of our emotions and so do our husbands.
    • I hold myself to a higher standard of behavior and ultimately fail because I'm not that good.
    • Reminding yourself of who God really is, not what society says he is.
    • I know who God is because I have seen who he is in the hard times.
    • God is the only thing that has not crumbled in my life.
    • God is in the storm.

  • 66 | Death, Bullying, and Christ-Like Love in Children – Devotion
    Mar 20 2026

    Does your child handle life better than you?

    Have you needed to guide your child through a hard situation and been the one who is taught a lesson?

    Are you wondering if anything you've been trying to teach your children is sinking in?

    If so, you’re in the right place.

    Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom.

    In this episode, I’m sharing how life has shaped my child in ways my routines couldn't so you can walk with your child through life we can't protect them from forever.

    When your child faces loss or cruelty for the first time, it does something inside you. This episode walks through a moment where my daughter’s compassion outshined my instinctive reactions — and how God used that to reshape my heart. From navigating grief to responding to bullying, this devotional reminds moms that our kids often model Christlike love long before we think they can.

    • Kids often model God’s love more clearly than adults do.
    • Your first reaction isn’t always your best reaction.
    • Mom guilt shows up, but God uses it to refine your priorities.
    • Encouraging your child in the little things strengthens their self-worth.
    • Parenting moments can grow your heart in ways routines never will.

  • 65 | Stop Believing Mom Guilt. Being Healthy Makes You a Better Mom - Guest Christa Baker
    Mar 18 2026
    • Are you constantly exhausted but can't fall asleep?
    • Do you consistently skip breakfast?
    • Have you felt guilty for taking a shower longer than 5 minutes?

    Momma, you're being lied to. It's time to prioritize your health out of obedience to God.

    Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom.

    In this episode, I’m sharing why being healthy isn’t selfish — it’s stewardship, so you can ditch the mom guilt and make your health a priority.

    • “I Don’t Have Time” is the biggest lie moms believe.

    • Taking care of your health is not selfish — it’s stewardship

    • God calls moms to steward their bodies, not run them into the ground.

    • Health requires movement and nutrition, not perfection.

    • Mom guilt is destroying health routines

    • Taking time to make healthy decisions – to prioritize caring for our bodies is an act of obedience to the Lord.

    • 15 minutes is enough to make a difference in your health.

  • 64 | Don’t Stay Stuck in Routines, Embrace God’s Leading - Devotion
    Mar 13 2026

    Do you ever cling to old routines or habits because change feels too overwhelming?

    Have you compared yourself to other moms and been too afraid to step into something new God is nudging you toward?

    Are you ignoring God’s gentle nudges because your priorities are shaped more by survival mode than faith?

    If so, you’re in the right place.

    Hi, I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. We have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom.

    In this episode, I’m sharing a devotional comparing potty training and spiritual growth to help you recognize where you are on your own spiritual growth as a Christian.

    • Growth means leaving behind comfort.

    • God knows exactly what we’re capable of.

    • Spiritual growth is slow, messy, and repetitive.

    • God prepares us long before the moment of change.

    • Training isn’t pleasant, but it produces deep fruit.

    • God leads us deeper one step at a time.

  • 62 | Why, God? Ask Questions Without Mom Guilt
    Mar 6 2026
    Do you question God when asks you to obey but you don't understand why he's asking—just like your kids question you? Have you fought with God when you didn't understand his direction? Are you wondering if God is okay with your questions or if he's asking you for silent obedience? If so, you’re in the right place. Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, coach, and mentor. After years of comparison and mom guilt, I learned the secret to becoming the mom my girls needed! By prioritizing time with Jesus, building simple routines that actually worked, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth look like through God’s eyes, I was able to find joy in motherhood. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how watching my kids ask questions and struggle with obedience opened my eyes to how I do the same with God so you can find peace in the struggle between obedience and understanding. Obedience often comes before understanding, both for our kids and for us with God. Kids play the “Why?” game, and we often do the same with God when we delay obedience. God sees dangers, consequences, and priorities we don't, just like we do with our children. It’s healthy to ask God why, but He still calls us to obedience rooted in love (Deuteronomy 11:1). God sometimes withholds answers because faith grows through trust, not full explanations. Acts of obedience—like Rahab’s—can shape generations, even when we don’t see the fruit right away. Choosing obedience over questioning helps us build spiritual routines, stronger faith, and deeper trust in God’s guidance. Next Steps: >Free 45-minute workshop coming in April!

  • 61 | Are You Done Mom-Ing? 3 Kinds of Rest Every SAHM Needs
    Mar 4 2026

    Do your SAHM routines leave you exhausted and empty?

    Have you ever said, "I need me time!" but just felt guilty?

    Are you comparing yourself to other moms and wondering why none of them seem as tired as you? (They probably are.)

    If so, you’re in the right place.

    Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting comparison and mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is. This podcast is for moms who want Biblical encouragement and real‑life devotions. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom.

    In this episode, I’m sharing about 3 different kinds of rest (physical, spiritual, and mental) so you can find where you need rest as a mom and as a family.

    • How you get the rest you need isn't always the same as your spouse, bestie or even your kids.

    • You can rest on any day, it doesn't have to be on a Sunday. What will work for you and your family around school and work?

    • The rest we need varies week to week.

    • What kind of rest are you needing this week? Do you need one or all three kinds of rest?

    • The hardest part is sticking to rest. Schedule it like you would an appointment if you need to.
