  • A Work in Progress: Grace for the Overwhelmed Mom
    Jul 14 2025

    Feeling behind or hard on yourself lately? This gentle devotional is your reminder: God’s not done with you yet. 💛

    Today’s episode is a little different, Mama. I’m sharing a short devotional called “Work in Progress”—a grace-filled reminder from Philippians 1:6 that God isn’t finished with you, not even close.

    If you've been setting impossible expectations, feeling behind, or trying to manage everything (including your children’s emotions), this moment is for you. We’re breaking the shame, leaning on grace, and releasing what we were never meant to carry.

    Take a deep breath, grab your coffee (or cry in the laundry room if you need to), and let this devotional meet you right where you are—with gentleness, truth, and hope.

  • Welcome to Redefining Self-Care for Moms
    May 20 2025

    Not selfish. Not a luxury. Self-care is soul care—and it starts right in the middle of your real, everyday life.
    Welcome to Redefining Self-Care for Moms—the podcast where we’re shifting the way we think about self-care in motherhood.

    Hosted by Rita Perry-Jones, a Christian mom of four and self-care advocate, this podcast invites moms to let go of the guilt, the pressure, and the old belief that self-care is something we have to earn—or something we can only do when everything else is done.

    Here, we believe self-care is stewardship. It's how we honor the bodies, minds, and hearts God has entrusted to us. And it goes far beyond bubble baths or time alone—because real self-care is soul care. And that includes your whole self: body, mind, and spirit.


    You’ll hear grace-filled encouragement, faith-rooted reminders, and simple, doable ways to care for yourself right in the middle of real, everyday mom life.

    Because motherhood is hard—but self-care doesn’t have to be.
    Let’s redefine self-care, together.
