Does it seem impossible to have rest in your routines? If so, you’re in the right place. Hi, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, and Jesus follower. 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 about 3 kinds of rest every SAHM needs and how to find doable things to fill you as a mom, family, and couple. The three kinds of rest: Physical Rest, Mental Rest & Spiritual Rest. Questions to ask yourself, family and spouse: What kind of rest do you need? What on your to-do list can wait? What gives you rest as person? What gives you rest as a family? What gives you rest as a couple?

  • 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.

  • 60 | Learning About God Through Tantrums and Tears - Devotion
    Feb 27 2026

    Have you noticed moments—just like your kids—when comparison, impatience, or selfishness reveal areas where God is still growing your heart?

    Do you ever feel stuck in a spiritual “baby stage,” repeating the same routines and wrestling with guilt when your priorities slip?

    Are you willing to let God mature you beyond spiritual milk, even in the exhausting SAHM seasons where your self‑esteem feels low and devotions feel hard to keep up?

    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 how motherhood mirrors our spiritual growth from baby to adult so you can see your own spiritual progress with fresh eyes.

    • Our kids’ behavior reflects our own spiritual tendencies.

    • As we grow, our prayers shift from self‑focused to others‑focused.

    • God delights in our small steps of obedience the way we delight in our kids.

    • Spiritual maturity is a choice, not a timeline.

  • 59 | Your Marriage Is Worth Your Time, SAHM
    Feb 25 2026

    Do you feel guilty for prioritizing your kids over your marriage but don't know how to stop?

    Have your SAHM routines pushed your marriage to the bottom of your priority list without realizing it?

    Are you trying to keep your marriage alive, but aren't sure how with the constant demands of motherhood?

    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 why and how to take time to nurture your marriage in the season of motherhood so you can keep your marriage strong even when your kids are demanding all of your time.

    • Your marriage can’t thrive on autopilot — relationships weaken when they’re not intentionally nurtured. Just like muscles, connection atrophies when ignored, and the longer it’s neglected, the harder it becomes to rebuild.

    • Your kids will be okay when you pause to prioritize your spouse. A stolen hug, a quick kiss, or a five‑minute conversation won’t harm them — but it will strengthen the foundation they depend on.

    • You don’t need elaborate date nights to stay connected.

    • Staying emotionally connected starts with simple habits: greet each other, check in, and make space for real conversation.

  • 57 | SAHM and Equal Partner in Marriage
    Feb 18 2026

    Is your view of “husband as head of the house” shaped by Scripture or by tradition, old routines, and comparison?

    Are you carrying guilt from not following beliefs God never actually asked you to follow?

    Would your priorities shift if your marriage was an equal partnership rooted in biblical principles and not a hierarchy?

    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 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 some hard truths about marriage dynamics and how my husband and I navigate them so you can stop comparing your marriage to others and start building your marriage in healthy ways.

    1. Authority doesn't look the same, but it doesn't mean it's not equal.

    2. Me Jane, he Tarzan doesn't mean I'm less capable but that the things that I'm the most capable in is different than him – hence partnership.

    3. If we want to do something but one of us doesn't agree, we don't do it or at the very least hold off until we have communicated and prayed and come to an agreement.

    4. What has God convicted you of verses what are the things you grew up thinking is normal?

    5. Don't compare your husband to someone else's.

    6. Find the cultural context of Scripture and stop taking it at face value.

  • 56 | What Does God’s Provision Look Like? Mom Life Devotion
    Feb 13 2026
    Have you ever wondered what God's provision looks like in your everyday life and routines? Do you compare what we experience with Hollywood special effects and wonder if you've missed God working in your life? Does God's provision seem like a good idea, but you don't know what you're looking for? 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 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 12 real life examples of what God's provision has looked like in my life so you can start seeing God's provision in your own life. What is the provision of the Lord? It's the not-so-glamorous things that happen to provide exactly what we need, not necessarily what we want. God's provision is: Unwanted direction. Generosity. Knowledge and skills. Desperation and exhaustion. The death of pride. "No". Just enough. Things lasting when they shouldn't. Community. Peace that defies the situation. Affliction. Small.
