Hey Mama,  Pregnancy can be an exciting time for expecting Mamas. But for some, discomforts associated with pregnancy can certainly steal their enjoyment. Women who are pregnant are more sensitive to what they inhale, put on their skin or even take internally. Because of this, there are often very limited relief options for aches, pains, seasonal threats, sleep support and more. Praise the Lord I was able to find safe, natural and incredibly effective relief using certified pure tested grade essential oils.

Hey Mama,  How do you handle your daily stress? Do you grab for junk food as a reward for surviving a stressful moment or day? Maybe you indulge in other forms of “junk” like dramatic television or social media scrolling. Whatever your quick fix, Mama, it never really seems to satisfy. Our world is full of self help symposiums, encouraging us to take control of our situation and find our own solution. Unfortunately, much of life's circumstances are outside of your control. And when we lose control, or feel like we have none, we reach for something that makes us feel satisfied and “happy”, even if just for a moment. But, Mama, as a Christian, we are called to separate ourselves from the ways of this world. We are not to seek solutions for peace, safety or satisfaction in what the world offers, but rather, in the One who made the world. So, Mama, today I am going to share with you one thing you can do to find peace, safety, and security in your moments of stress, instead of grabbing for that temporary “fix”.   For His Glory, Christen   I would love to hear from you!  >>Leave a Review >>Connect with me:   Sign Up for Manage In The Moment Coaching Call: https://bit.ly/ManageStressInTheMoment   Email me : naturalwellnessforbusymoms@gmail.com  Sign Up to Become an Insider: https://bit.ly/naturalwellnessinsider  Join Our FREE Facebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1789472588229094  >>Find Related Products Here: https://bit.ly/m/Natural-Wellness-for-Busy-Moms  >> These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Hey Mama,  Do you want a better period?  Maybe you experience varying mood swings or physical discomforts during certain times of the month. Some times of the month you may feel slower and more tired than usual. Other days, you feel focused and social, or maybe more confident and magnetic. These various phases of emotions often track alongside our month-long cycle. And yes, I did just say month-long, not week-long.  If you are where I was a couple years ago, you may be under the assumption that the week of menstruation is the totality of the menstrual cycle.  Women are beautifully designed with a hormonal cycle that ebbs and flows all month long, whereas men's hormonal cycles repeat every 24 hours. Better understanding these recurring rhythms can help you work with your body instead of against it. Today I will break down the four basic phases of our monthly cycle and what essential oils  to use to support you during each phase.

In this episode, we dive into the question, “Why won't God just take away my destructive anger?” Discover how God's gift of free will invites us to grow through our struggles, lean on His grace, and build stronger relationships with our kids. Through personal stories, scriptures, and practical encouragement, you'll learn how to pause, process big emotions, and ask, “Lord, what are you teaching me? Where are you growing flowers from my dirt?” Plus, find out how your growth can become a gift to others, helping them navigate their own challenges.Key Points:God doesn't take away our struggles because He gives us free will, inviting us to choose His way and grow in faith (Galatians 5:16-17, Ephesians 5:10).Managing emotions is like starting a new exercise routine—it's hard at first, but with practice, you build strength to choose God's path.When we slip up, God's grace covers us, and recovery helps us move forward (Romans 7:22-25, 2 Corinthians 12:7-10).Our struggles produce “flowers” (growth and healing) that we can share with others, like supporting a friend or modeling grace for our kids (Ephesians 5:18-20).Tools like the Trigger Tracker and SIT & Pray can help you process emotions and seek God's will (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17).Tools & Links: Help!

Hey Mama,  Do you feel guilty about the amount of time you spend on your phone? Do you wish you could feel more at peace and present in the moment ?  If you are like me, you use your phone as a coping mechanism for stress and anxiety. Whether it's playing a game, scrolling through social media or streaming shows, when we feel overwhelmed by stress, we as moms just want a moment to not have to think about all we have on our plates. But if you are like me, then you also feel guilty. You feel guilty about the example you are setting for your children regarding screen time. You feel guilty when your child says, “Mommy put down the phone and pay attention to me.” Mama, there is another way, a better way to manage your anxious feelings, to process through your stress instead of distract yourself from it. Tune in today as I share with you how you can manage stress naturally in just three simple steps.   Sign Up for Manage In The Moment Coaching Call Here: https://bit.ly/ManageStressInTheMoment    For His Glory, Christen   I would love to hear from you!  >>Leave a Review >>Connect with me:   Sign Up for Manage In The Moment Coaching Call: https://bit.ly/ManageStressInTheMoment   Email me : naturalwellnessforbusymoms@gmail.com  Sign Up to Become an Insider: https://bit.ly/naturalwellnessinsider  Join Our FREE Facebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1789472588229094  >>Find Related Products Here: https://bit.ly/m/Natural-Wellness-for-Busy-Moms  >> These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Hey Mama, I'm so expectant for what God is about to do in this new series where I'm inviting you into a deeper conversation on healing—physical, emotional, and spiritual. This isn't a topic I decided on lightly. It's something the Lord pressed on my heart through prayer, confirmation, and moments I couldn't ignore. I'll be sharing parts of my own story—how I've wrestled with doubt and experienced the miraculous in ways I didn't expect. This series is for the woman who's holding onto hope, praying for breakthrough, or just wondering if God still heals today. I want you to come with an open mind and an expectant heart. You're not here by accident—this is a divine appointment. Whether your healing happens instantly, over time, or in heaven, I believe God wants to move in your life in powerful ways. From My Heart: The Holy Spirit is leading this entire series, and I'm just the vessel. I believe your faith matters, your testimony matters, and the healing you've been praying for is not out of reach. You'll hear stories that stir your belief, and we'll walk together through the Word, prayer, and practical encouragement. I'm so honored to walk this road with you—and I'm believing for miracles.
