EP 175 Trusting Myself

The Mission Driven Mom Podcast ·

2026/10/06

Do you ever wish you just knew?Knew whether to keep your child home or send them to school. Knew whether to take the job or make the move. A lot of women tell me that's what self-trust is: if you really trusted yourself, you would just know. I don't think that's true. And I learned it sitting alone in my car on a cold afternoon, trying to make a really big decision for our family.

I want to tell you about one powerful night in a kitchen in Montgomery, Alabama.The man at the table was twenty six years old. He had a doctorate he had just finished, a wife asleep in the next room, and a baby daughter who had just been born. He also had a movement he never asked to lead: he was voted in. And the threats had started coming, sometimes thirty or forty per day. His house had even been bombed with his wife and daughter inside. All of these realities laid heavily on him and he

Have you ever imagined how things would turn out in the future—the perfect man you'd marry, the beautifully obedient children you'd have— and then, years later, when things were messy and hard, you wondered what had gone wrong?I did. And what I had to learn was that the image I was holding all that time was not a vision. It was an expectation.

Have you ever had someone you love decide to walk out of your life?Cadie did. Someone very close to her decided a few years back that they didn't want to be in her life any longer, and there's been no contact since. While Cadie was sharing with us her pain and struggle over this loss, we all had a profound realization: Even though she has no contact with this person, Cadie still has a relationship with them!

2026/08/25

Years ago, when I was just beginning my classical education, I sat in a seminar where the presenters kept telling us to use our scholar skills. So I finally raised my hand and asked where I could find these scholar skills.The presenters, including the founder of my college, gave me a blank stare. Nobody had an answer for me. I could have just brushed this problem aside. But I cared about being the best student I could be! I was making a lot of sacrifices in time, effort, and money to be in

I'm a recovering rescuer.For me this shows up as me doing things for others that they should really be doing for themselves (often my kids). I also sometimes jump in and try to fix a problem that isn't mine, or do something I was never asked to do—like call the doctor or plan the party or give dating advice. Of course, I'd tell myself I just "wanted to help." But honestly, that probably wasn't my true motivation. I probably thought something was broken that I needed to fix. Resources from

EP 166 The thing you dread

The Mission Driven Mom Podcast ·

2026/08/04

You do hard things every day. You run a home, you carry other people's needs, you handle complicated things most people never see. You have so much more power than you realize. So why can one small, ordinary thing still fill you with dread? Having people over for dinner. A phone call. A visit you keep putting off. Something that should be simple, and somehow just is not. What's fascinating is that the dread is almost never about the thing itself. It is about the story you are telling

In Auschwitz, a man told Viktor Frankl about a dream.A voice had said he could ask one question, so he asked the only one that mattered: when would the war be over for him. Not for everyone. For him. The voice gave him a date. He believed it completely. I have not been able to stop thinking about what happened to him on that date. It changed how I understand what we are really doing when we call ourselves creators. Resources from the Episode: Mothers of Creation- Provo, Utah - September

EP 164 Where "I am a creator" actually came from

2026/07/21

Thirty years ago, a man sat down for his morning quiet time in the middle of the hardest season of his life. His father had died far too young. He and his wife had been trying to start a family, and he had just learned he was infertile. His marriage was ending. And in that prayerful space, he said, "Okay, God, I'm ready to surrender my victim stance in the world. But I need to know: what's the opposite of victim?"The word came immediately. Creator.

I want to tell you something Abraham Maslow figured out while studying the highest levels of human consciousness. He had assumed, like most of us, that creativity belonged to a certain kind of person. The artists. The composers. The poets. The rest of us just didn't have that natural creative genius. Then he started studying people who were truly thriving and one of them stopped him. She was a housewife. Uneducated, not wealthy, no artistic training. And yet everything she touched was

Resources from the Episode: Mothers of Creation - Provo, Utah - September 26th You know the feeling. Something happens. Maybe your husband sleeps in, maybe the house is a mess again, maybe a conversation goes sideways. And before you have said a word, there it is. A tightening in your stomach. A low hum of frustration you carry around for the rest of the morning. That feeling is drama. And it is not the situation causing it. It is the story you are telling yourself about the
