Mom Guilt! - these two words that EVERY mama at some point in time struggles with…especially as a business minded mama with a heart for home. Maybe you feel guilty for working and worry that you're hurting your family for growing in business? Maybe you feel guilty for NOT working…feeling shame for being “just a mom” and not doing more to contribute to the family finances? Maybe you feel defeated in your faith…like you can't do enough to measure up? The list of negative self-talk and anxious emotions that are packaged in the phrase “mom guilt” could go ON and ON… But today we're talking about how to crush mom guilt at the root! This was actually a conversation I had over on my friend Brooke Jefferson's podcast recently. Go check out her show called the Five Star Business Podcast. She asked me to come on and speak to her audience about this topic and I thought it was a valuable conversation to share with you too! As you press on ahead toward this fall season, I want to encourage you to settle your heart and find greater peace in WHO you are and in ALL that you do!

TODAY is kind of a big deal because you're actually going to hear from my amazing husband on this week's podcast episode! Tyler is such an amazing man and so full of wisdom; but he is definitely NOT the podcast type. Any form of being on camera or being recorded he will usually run away from. lol In fact, I wanted to interview him for our 17th anniversary episode back in December, but when we started talking…I was like, this is not going to work. Haha He's often my biggest ‘kid' and there was no way he would sit still long enough to be serious. BUT, I caught him in a serious moment for this conversation - literally behind closed doors in our bedroom - and I wanted to share his perspective (a husband's perspective) with YOU so that you can be greater empowered in your marriage! (sharing with permission of course I've felt for the past month to record an episode on a few of the reasons why you cannot afford to NOT date your husband. Yes, you heard me right. This is a MUST in your marriage RIGHT now …you just might not realize it yet. There is SO much to say about this topic, and believe me, as a homeschooling mother of 5, I get ALL the excuses. However, in 2020 Tyler and I decided to make this a weekly habit and it was SO life giving for our relationship! Here's a few of the questions I asked Tyler - unplanned; unscripted; just sincere responses behind bedroom doors: -From a husband's perspective, Why do you feel like it's important to date your spouse? -What is the real ROOT purpose of dating your spouse from a Biblical perspective? -How should you prepare for a date? -What are the ingredients for a successful date night? -What if you have little kids; and you feel like you're drowning? What if you don't have the extra time or money…basically every excuse NOT to date? -What do you do when you feel like your husband doesn't listen when you share your heart? or he doesn't seem to desire you like he used to or maybe wouldn't WANT to prioritize a date with you? Or maybe doesn't even know the Lord? What then? let's get real and raw, and even a little controversial in today's conversation…I know you are here for a reason!

Do you struggle to find time to read the Bible as a busy mom? Or when you carve out the time, maybe you feel lost and you don't know what to do? Where to Start?

I recently heard a mompreneur talking about work/life balance and it got me thinking about what I REALLY believe about this topic that always seems “too good to be true” It also made me think, How SHOULD I be thinking about balance from a Biblical perspective? Balance is a word we throw around casually and it can stir SO many emotions…good AND bad. What I do know is that the pursuit of Balance or “work/life balance” as a busy mama always feels like a ‘GOAL' and especially this time of year when you are doing your absolute best to get your schedule in balance for the fall…it is at the top of your mind. But is it even possible or realistic at all? Today, let's get more clarity around this topic of BALANCE so that you can be empowered to know what to prioritize and find more peace in your to-do list.

In Today's bonus episode, we're talking about how life can often feel like a ROLLERCOASTER…SO many ups and downs, ya know?
I don't know about you, but times where “shifting” takes place can be an opportunity for doubt and uncertainty and “ALL the feels” that aren't all that positive to creep in! I'm finding myself in the middle of a major family transition. Change is often GOOD, but for me it always brings some level of discomfort… These are the moments where it can be easy to feel overwhelmed, lost, or even discouraged. The Lord, in His goodness, had prompted me to take this past month and go back to re-share some podcasts that were inspired straight from my personal Bible time and journal a year ago! I've been asked by several listeners to do some kind of ‘Podcast Bible Study' recently …SO, for those of you that would like to look to the word of God to be encouraged and rooted as YOU transition into the school year or in whatever change you're in the midst of? …Or if you want a bit of a spiritual reset!

This conversation may seem slightly premature or it may find you right on time, but trust me…I think it's important to set this straight now, as your mama brain is just starting to tip toe into the reality that summer is almost over and the school year will be here before you know it. I KNOW you want to keep growing and getting better and you want to feel prepared for the upcoming semester…so let's have an honest Heart 2 heart conversation today! I want to ask… Have you ever been in a place where you feel nearly EVERY area of your life needs an overhaul? Maybe Life has felt cluttered and chaotic for so long that the thought of actually making changes feels overwhelming. It just feels too hard and like too much! …so you do what you always do - nothing, and stay stuck. Most likely You desire change for the good, but you're not sure where to start. You know you need some new healthy habits to help you get your life together and your home in order; but you've been off track or derailed for so long. It feels super intimidating to take even small steps towards improvement. Ultimately, You've failed yourself time and time again, and you don't really trust the commitments you make to yourself anymore. You struggle to believe in yourself and the negative self talk drowns out the encouraging voices around you. Hey friend, I SEE you and I want you to know that God sees you! Despite how you feel, you're not alone and you're not going under…You just need to take ONE simple but significant step to pivot in the right direction. In this Heart 2 Heart conversation, I want to take you by the hand (just like I did with one of my coaching clients) and tell you WHERE to start when you desire to get some healthy habits in place to make the changes Whether you need help in one area or maybe ALL the areas that feel out of order in your life... NOW is the perfect time to get clarity and begin to REFOCUS before the school year with a powerful practice that will get your heart aligned and cultivate peace.

Do you need a Miracle in your life? Do you need a breakthrough in your marriage, with your children, in your business? Do you need CLARITY on which way to go? What to do next? We use the word Breakthrough a lot in our culture, but what I've learned is that true transformative and lasting breakthrough doesn't come from trying harder. More self development is NOT the solution. YOU are not the secret ingredient to your miracle. Rather, it's the PRESENCE OF GOD that not only activates breakthrough, but precedes victory! I can't wait for you to listen Now, but I also want to encourage you to go back and listen to episodes 89 and 90 FIRST so it will catch you up on some previously discussed SUCCESS PRINCIPLES from the Book of Joshua. This episode unpacks the secret to your success...to MIRACLES as you move towards your goals and pursue your greatest potential. This passage of scripture is GOLD, as we, as christian entrepreneurs, look to the Word of God to be a “lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path.” Keep trusting! Keep doing your part! Praying this encourages and refocuses your heart today ~ Michelle P.S. This is a BEAUTIFUL worship/prayer set that you can put on when you're ready to be still and seek God's presence. This has been a blessing to me and I wanted to share it with you too, as I referred to it this episode.

Do you wonder if you can be a good mom WITHOUT always being available to your kids? Do you struggle feeling guilty for working and not being present as a mom? Do you feel the pressure to make sure your kids aren't “bored” this summer? These are some really great questions that you mind find yourself facing even more since the kids are home or off school for summer. I recently found myself sick in bed for TWO full days and was completely unavailable to the kids. ALL FIVE OF THEM were home…and this mama was M.I.A. Today I'm going to tell you how this played out and how my situation where I was forced to not ‘BE THERE'…reminded me of 3 reasons why there can be wisdom in being unavailable and how your kid's “boredom” is actually beneficial? I hope this conversation gives you a little more freedom as you carve out time to work; gives some vision for managing your days; and helps you ditch the ‘mom guilt'…as you work towards peace in your home.

What are you afraid of RIGHT now? Where is the subtle fear that you are holding on to? What are you feeling insecure about or wrestling with in your spirit as you seek to grow? If you're honest with yourself…there's SOMETHING?! Business is emotional (in case you haven't figured that out yet) lol And it takes SO much courage to GROW! Life, in general, takes so. much. courage and you continually have to navigate fear, whether you realize it or not. We are all so different in the way we naturally respond and process through this, but I will tell you that I was the fearful, cautious, uncertain little girl. It's naturally how I'm wired. But my husband on the other hand…he is NOT a fearful person by nature. He's never afraid to make hard choices or take big risks or quick decisions and he always loves a good adventure! But here's the point…we BOTH experience and wrestle with fear and uncertainties in our own life. Fear is not a respecter of persons or a personality trait (so get the lies of “labels” out of your head) It is something we ALL have to face and it is normal to experience one of the MANY emotions that stem from fear being at the root. In the last episode we talked about the VALUE of fear and the foundational way to soothe your soul - by praying and meditating on the word of God. Today is Part 2 of this conversation. We're going over my 2 Top heartset and mindset habits to embracing uncomfortable growth. Learn the ‘cycle of Surrender' and find freedom and purpose while balancing your home and your business. Press Play on the podcast to go over some Simple and powerful surrender driven success strategies for responding to fear!

Do you often feel anxious trying to navigate ALL the details of everyday life? Does Balancing the responsibilities of family and work feel overwhelming all too often? Does it Sometimes feel like no one understands or sees the weight that you carry? Today I want to take a few minutes to encourage you the way God has been encouraging me this past month…with His Truth! Remember that everything physical IS spiritual and it is so important to check in with your HEART as you DO all the things…so that you can live up to the calling on your life as a wife, mom, and in business. I know you want God to be glorified through your life, and to experience growth and peace, while making an impact here on this earth. I believe in YOU! but ultimately, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks…What matters is that you BELIEVE what God says about you. That you stop putting God in a box, and start seeing Him in all the details in ALL of Life because this is ultimately how you can find purpose and meaning in the mundane. Today We're going to Dominate the Tough Questions with God's Truth. I'll end with 3 Simple Ways to Soothe your Soul and KNOW That You are Not Alone!

Happy June mama! Ever feel like your day needs a “do over?” Like you just want to literally crawl back in bed and start over? Or maybe your kids need a major attitude adjustment or “re-do” themselves? It happens to ALL of us at times. I had one of those days recently, where I needed to re-set the family and wanted to share 4 tips that I use to help us start and RESTART the day when it doesn't get going on the right foot. I know you can't afford to NOT show up as your best for your family and in your business…so let's practice a few simple strategies to help when the emotions start getting off track. Praying for Smooth summer transitions ~ Michelle Connect ~ www.NourishingMichelle.com/connect Email ~ Hello@nourishingmichelle.com IG ~ @NourishingMichelle FB ~ www.Facebook.com/NourishingMichelle
How do you feel when I say the word REST? Does it feel impossible or offensive? Does it trigger feelings of guilt and laziness? Or does it sound like GOALS and something you are yearning for? …Maybe a little of all of it? I remember when rest felt like a ‘4 letter word' to me and I would be EMBARRASSED to be seen not doing anything! Even after having a baby, I would feel so insecure about lying down to nurse my baby for a fear that others were going to think I was a lazy mom. However, the word “BUSY” ...now THAT carried some 'worthy weight' and made me feel like a better person. I could throw that word around and feel proud that I was always DOING SOMETHING. Well, God busted me big time on my habit of striving and feeling that I had to work for my worthiness. He brought to my attention how my identity was wrapped up in what I DID rather than Who I was and WHOSE I was. I've come a LONG way and what I actually want to tell you today is how I've learned that REST is actually PRODUCTIVE. Yes, you heard me right. For a variety of reasons, you cannot afford NOT to rest if you're trying to reach your goals and move the needle in your business! Today I'm going to tell you about how I was reminded recently about the power of pressing pause because taking time to SLOW down is necessary at times, so that you can speed up and get the WORK DONE. I hope this quick conversations frees you up a little this summer to say YES, to that vacation or to that everyday moment to kick your feet up and RELAX!

School is ALMOST out for summer and I know you're so ready...even us homeschool moms - WE READY! Lol This week I wanted to revisit a fantastic podcast conversation where I went over WHY and HOW to set your kids up for success this summer…because setting your kids up for success is going to give YOU the peace of mind and productivity you NEED too! As I encouraged my kids to wrap up the school year, I found myself intuitively giving them a crash course on setting goals for summer. But WHY NOW? When I questioned my motives later, I came up with some pretty darn good reasons! In this episode I explain WHY you should set some fresh goals for summer… even more, WHY you should teach your kids to do the same! I'm sharing about how I did this with my kids and some helpful tips to help you not only do the things you want to do, but BE the person you want to be over the summer, INTENTIONALLY! Praying this timely conversation blesses you as you seek God's best in every season and stay faithful as the hard working mama you are:) Connect ~ www.NourishingMichelle.com/connect Email ~ Hello@nourishingmichelle.com IG ~ @NourishingMichelle FB ~ www.Facebook.com/NourishingMichelle
Last week on The Nourishing Mompreneur Podcast I talked about The Number One Way You Can Be a Better Mom and Overcome the Fear and the feelings of being “Not Enough.” Please go listen to episode 77 to catch up with this conversation, but here's the bottom line… Your KIDS JUST WANT YOU AND QUALITY TIME IS THEIR DEEPEST DESIRE. But HOW? How do you connect with your kids better and meet their emotional needs when life is SO BUSY and you barely have the time for YOU or to get what you need to get done? Today we're talking about 5 practical ways to carve out quality time and where to get started. This is going to help you Find more fulfillment as a mom, more peace in the home, and the peace of mind to get more work DONE …because everyone's going to be happy and their love tank will be full.
Ever wish you could have ONE simple Conversation that would Cover ALL the most pressing topics on your heart? Ya know, just to offer some encouragement and maybe a “next step” strategy or helpful perspective? Well, TODAY might be your day …lol
Do you find yourself secretly wondering if you're a good enough mom? Do you wonder if you're doing enough for your kids - providing the perfect balance of saying YES, but also giving the structure they need to thrive? Do you hope your kids are truly happy and getting their needs met? Do you subtly fear that your weaknesses and imperfections are going to pass down to your kids and you're going to hurt them because of the areas that you just can't seem to “measure up?” I could go on and on with the questions (and really fears) that might be frequently swirling around in the back of your mind and in the deep places of your heart as you do your BEST to raise your kids. I know this because I AM a mom too…and I know these questions so well. There is NOTHING I want more than to be the BEST mom that I can for my children. AND I know you want the same. But here's the thing… Although asking yourself hard questions and checking in with yourself from time to time is NOT a BAD thing. There's so much wisdom in self reflection as you seek to keep growing. It's important that you identify the lies and if your questions are rooted in doubt, fear, insecurity, comparison to others, mom guilt, or simply SHAME? I know Mother's Day is upon us and as you anticipate your family celebrating you in some way, you might be triggered to subconsciously ask some of these doubting questions or feel a certain way …and wonder if you're WORTH being celebrated as a GREAT MOM?! Today, I'd love to speak some TRUTH and bless you This Mother's Day (or whatever day you're listening) But first, let's take a moment and set our feelings aside and discover WHAT OUR KIDS actually want from us and how we can be a better mom (from their perspective). When I ask my Kids the question “How can I be a better mom to you” the answer is always the same…and I'm going to share that with you today because I bet your kids would agree too. Be Blessed this Mother's Day! ~ Michelle Connect ~ www.NourishingMichelle.com/connect Email ~ Hello@nourishingmichelle.com IG ~ @NourishingMichelle FB ~ www.Facebook.com/NourishingMichelle
Do you ever wonder if the work you are doing or the thing you are building is actually going somewhere? if it's really making a difference? or if it's even WORTH IT? If you have ever listened to the podcast, you know that one of my FAVORITE quotes is “the most important work you will ever do is within the walls of your home” For me and probably for you…this includes working on my marriage, working to raise and homeschool my kids, and also pursuing business endeavors as well. It's all done in my home and it all matters to my heart. But there's one thing it ALL has in common… it's HARD. It's hard growing and pursuing God's best in all areas of life and with Mother's Day just around the corner, you might feel triggered to even question how great of a job you are actually doing balancing the many hats? Listen, let me be the first to tell you that you are amazing and there is not only NO ONE like you, but there is no one that could take your place. I know we can all use a little encouragement sometimes as we press on and BUILD beautiful lives for the glory of God! Today, I want to remind you that although the journey may feel HARD, although it often feels HEAVY THE WORK YOU ARE DOING IS HOLY. The truth is, the work you can see with your eyes is but a glimpse of the greater picture as you show up every day. Let's get some greater vision on how you ARE paving the way for the next generation. You are setting your kids up with every seed you SOW and it is a hard and holy process. I want to remind you of 4 Biblical Principles to Help You Stay Faithful and Think Clearly even When it's Hard. And above all remind you to Be Strong and Courageous and DO THE WORK! Listen to Today's Episode for some encouragement and perspective, straight from the Word of God and straight for your “mama heart.” Keep being Amazing! ~Michelle P.S.

My goal…to build more unity and community by speaking specifically into your life and simply processing life WITH YOU, as a friend. My ultimate desire…is that God would speak thru me and that my words would not be full of opinions, preferences, or even solid “mom advice”...but that God's heart would be revealed and you would walk away feeling so loved and encouraged by the ONE who made you. I hope that we can learn from each other and grow TOGETHER in the Lord. How this works…many of you have reached out through a written message or voice note with something specific you'd like to chat about. I'm here to respond to you on the podcast and like I said, process life WITH you as a friend. Not a coach. Not someone who has it all figured out or who has the answers…but as someone who can humbly point you to THE ANSWER - Jesus Christ. Because here on this podcast, pursuing your greatest potential as a wife, mom, in business, and in all areas of life always starts with pursuing JESUS FIRST. I hope to offer some practical but Biblical perspective. If you don't know anything about this…here's your invitation to reach out and tell me what's on your mind and ask what's on your heart.

Are you feeling a wave of change in your heart, but you're having trouble making sense of it? Maybe you're doing the things you've always done...following your plans and strategically moving towards your goals...BUT doubt is creeping in? Maybe the WAY you've been going about your life and business feels "off"...like something isn't lining up? Maybe you're at a crossroads moment and are trying to get clarity on WHAT to Build? Where to go from here? I understand those feelings and in fact THIS podcast conversation is me jumping off the ledge of fear in my own mind so that I can depend fully on God…pursuing the more SIMPLE. I know the journey may be messy, but I'm going to keep going for it and I believe that I have a word for you today as YOU keep pressing on too! No matter what your season, let's find freedom to shift From building “kingdom” to building “family” because your YES of surrender is going to bring forth the breakthrough that you could NEVER achieve on your own!

Are you often overcome with insecurity or frustration when scrolling social media? Are you in the habit of constantly putting yourself down or criticizing how you look? Do you feel a sense of shame or “I'm not good enough” when you look at other moms? Are you triggered to jealousy when you see all the great accomplishments or “big followings” that other business mamas seem to have? …or maybe just wish you had what she had - that marriage, that home, those kids? There are SO many ways that COMPARISON can rear its ugly head and affect how we feel and think, but one thing's for sure …we ALL have to fight it. Today I have a special guest, Bethany Beal, on the podcast to talk about the topic of comparison…because friends, SHE (whoever She is) is NOT your MOM petition! We talk about things like -the value of diversity in our homes and with others because the truth is…being different is BEAUTIFUL! -Why standing up against comparison is important for the sake of our children. -the BEST strategy for breakthrough from a Biblical Perspective, when you are struggling to measure up. …AND SO MUCH MORE This is a fun and fast paced conversation so Buckle up and Open Up your Heart!

A topic of conversation that the Lord has been having with me is about IDENTITY and the importance of knowing who we are in these times we are living. This is the only way we can respond RIGHT is if we can SEE rightly…so I want to initiate this conversation with you today. Did you know that today, March 16th is Purim? …this is a holiday or feast day found in the Bible. I believe that there is beauty and significance in remembering and celebrating the feasts of the Bible, but unlike Passover…Purim may be something you haven't heard about before? Basically, it's all about the story of Esther…which is why I love this Biblical holiday so much and want to form some of our podcast conversation around this inspiring story this week! If you've been feeling OVERWHELMED by the chaos in the world If you've been feeling beat down by the challenges in YOUR world If you've been wavering and floundering inside trying to navigate all the unknowns Let's get RE ROOTED in our identity in Christ so that we can stand firm and courageous NOW and in the days to come. This conversation is LOADED and heartfelt and I believe timely!. So pray for wisdom to open up your ears to whatever the Lord wants to speak to you and push PLAY on today's podcast episode.

I want to continue my conversation with Hannah Taylor - the girl who's been living with me for the past 2 months - so that you can grasp more of the heart of hospitality! This conversation was so special and RICH and we talked about questions like? What does it look like to stay flexible and adaptable with JOY as you surrender your home to love others well? How can you feel at Home and plant your roots wherever you find yourself living or whatever season you are in? What does hospitality look like in other countries of the world FIRST HAND? How can Breaking up our compartmentalized lives allow God to break through to OTHERS and create a lasting impact? I know this conversation will both CHALLENGE you and BLESS you…and I can't wait for you to listen! Together, Let's be more intentional about cultivating relationships not only with the people IN our home, but bringing in those outside the home. No matter how you feel, You have so much to offer! You can confidently welcome others as you are and TRUST WHO God is within you.

When I say the word HOSPITALITY or When someone asks if you would host an event or there's the need or expectation to have someone over for dinner or someone spontaneously wants to stop by…. how does that make you feel? I'm not sure how these situations may trigger you, but I can say that in the past I have been very BURNT OUT on hospitality when it comes to others visiting or staying with me or even hosting dinners.
Are you tired of constantly feeling like you're in “figure it out mode”? …Of trying to solve problems and put out fires and adjust to ALL that life throws at you? Do you crave consistency and lack of CHANGE? …just ONE moment of COMFORT please! lol Well, I get it and my personality craves consistency, stability, and having a plan. I love to feel in control and change is often exhausting because I'm a “processor.”
Hey Friends…today's podcast is going to be important because here on The Nourishing Mompreneur Podcast we are taking a little “pivot.” Trust me…this is going to be an amazing thing but I'm going to genuinely need your help so that I can help YOU in return. I believe these conversations are going to become even richer; because you're not only going to feel more connected in a personal way, but you're going to get more of the specific support that you need on your journey in ALL the things - faith, marriage, motherhood, business, and just balancing it ALL. For today, I want to let you into the “behind the scenes” of my heart so that you know where I've been with the podcast, where we're going, and why you can be excited for all that is to come! It's gonna be good…so let's get into it! Connect ~ www.NourishingMichelle.com/connect Email ~ Hello@nourishingmichelle.com IG ~ @NourishingMichelle FB ~ www.Facebook.com/NourishingMichelle
As you heard in last week's podcast, my Nourishing Cupcake business journey has been quite the EVOLUTION. I can say that things are getting SWEETER on the back end side of things. It is a different experience to involve my girls. In some ways much harder because it requires more patience as you can imagine. But ultimately, there is so much joy in teaching and training my children in this sweet little business endeavor. There is so much more purpose now that I can pass on the mindsets, heartsets, and SKILLSETS of entrepreneurship to the next generation - for me, that's my beautiful daughters! My desire is to lead by example and help my daughters use the work of their hands to give God glory in all they do. TODAY…I want to share with you FIVE business and life coaching lessons…all inspired by cupcakes. When I got in the kitchen with my daughter to bake and began to review the process with her, there were some valuable success principles that popped up and I wanted to share with you so that YOU can be reminded of them as you build your business and build your family.

Hey mama, Are you feeling discouraged in your business? Do you feel like it's one step forward, two steps back…or like you constantly have to start and stop again because LIFE and MOTHERHOOD get in the way? Do the interruptions and DISTRACTIONS feel impossible to overcome? I truly get ALL of it and the frustration of not being able to move in the way and at the pace that you desire. As I wrapped up a busy week of pouring into my business in a “massive momentum” kind of way…it reminded me of some truths about Balance and Consistency as I reflect on my own experience through the years. The JOURNEY when it comes to balancing business/entrepreneurship in the midst of motherhood may bring some struggles but it doesn't have to stop you! I simply want to share with you a little of my business journey specifically when it comes to The Nourishing Cupcake and in the process bring YOU some powerful truths and sprinkles of encouragement that you can grab hold of and RUN with as you STAY the COURSE.

Want to position yourself for breakthrough? It's a little unconventional to talk about, but a big part of my faith journey this past year has revolved around FASTING. Outside of intermittent fasting for health benefits, refraining from food for a spiritual purpose was new to me, in the sense that I hadn't really done much of it before. If you are curious about my journey, I would encourage you to go back and listen to episodes 26 and 27 on The Nourishing Mompreneur Podcast! Ep 26: Part 1: WHY I Fasted for 21 Days and Why YOU Should Consider Fasting Too! Ep 27: Part 2: Fasting For a Purpose. Spirit of Esther Rise Up! Fasting is an ancient pathway to access your Heavenly Father in a very specific way. Today, I want to share with you how my last 21 day fast played out and the importance of a fasted lifestyle.
