Well I did NOT see this email coming…but for now, I wanted to update you that today I published my LAST episode on The Surrender Driven Success Podcast…(for Now at least?)

For those of you that may be feeling the nudge to scale back,

wrestling with slowing down,

craving more time to focus on your family…

and maybe even feeling called to lay down your good endeavors altogether

…I get it!

Letting Go is both PAINFUL and FREEING, and I am confident that wherever these podcast episodes find you…you’ll find hope and encouragement for YOUR journey! 🦋

Check out Episodes 105, 106, 108, and today’s final episode 109 right here on the Surrender Driven Success Podcast where I’ve audaciously poured out my heart during the shifting of seasons in my life.

I pray this podcast continues to help you and other mamas find more purpose and peace as you balance ALL the THINGS with God at the Center.

Press Play Today for all the details on why I’m pressing PAUSE.

I’m so thankful for the JOY of Surrender and the transformations that only God can do 🙌🏼🦋

I’m VERY Thankful for you too!

Big Hugs ~ Michelle

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!

I want to pick back up where I left off in REALLY catching you up on my life and what God’s been doing in my heart over the past few months. It’s been DEEP, and Hard, and Surprising…but So good because I KNOW that my God is SO SO Good!

Even when my emotions have struggled, I have the deepest clarity and confidence that God’s ‘turning of the tables’ in my little heart is His grace and MERCY in my life.

So Where do you find yourself today?

Are you wrestling through some changes in an area of your life?

Are you struggling with the shifting of seasons maybe in your HEART and trying to make sense of it all?

Maybe you feel a little confused at what God is doing and deep down you just really NEED to know that the work you are doing is WORTH IT. That you are on the right track?

Seriously, go make you a cup of coffee or just cross your legs and get comfortable in your mind so that you can be attentive to WHATEVER the Lord might want to speak to YOU about in today’s episode…as I show up once again to pour out my heart some some valuable pieces of wisdom that will help steady YOU for your journey.

I know that there is something that you need to hear today that will cover you with warmth and truth as you continue to bravely TRUST God in your life and challenging circumstances.

You absolutely want to go back and listen to episode 105 if you haven’t yet because this is a continuation of that conversation;

Today we’re going to be talking about What If Your Struggle is Actually God’s MERCY in Your Life? Surrendering the HOW and WHEN of the Dreams in Your Heart while Finding Purpose and embracing PATIENCE in the UNEXPECTED.

AND SO MUCH MORE

Get out a paper and a pen to write down some truths and press PLAY!

Let’s grow together ~ Michelle

Can I be SOO honest with you?

What are you holding onto?

What NEW thing is God doing in your life?

What about the struggle of letting go so that you can move ahead in obedience to the Lord.

How do YOU work through this with wisdom and grace?

These are all very REAL questions we talk about in today’s Podcast episode

as I sit down “friend to friend” to catch you up on my life.

I want to let you in on my very raw personal journey of struggle so that God can get glory from my life and speak what He needs to speak into YOUR life too.

Even in the crushing, even in the pressing…SO much strength is found in SURRENDER. And I want to invite you to embrace the process WITH me.

I believe you are here for a reason, so seriously, DO grab that cup of coffee and come listen as I pour out my heart.

Whether you’re Wrestling through feelings of grief, loss, or CHANGE?

I trust that God will meet you in the Middle of wherever you’re at.

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!

Growing with you! ~ Michelle

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?

Maybe you feel guilty because your mind is constantly distracted during your quiet time and it feels impossible to be STILL?

Or do you wrestle with hearing from God…unsure sometimes if you really KNOW Him?

These are all hard and triggering questions, but I think as a Christian mama…you can relate to the STRUGGLE of confidently nurturing your faith through your relationship with God.

Today on the podcast I’m hanging out with my friend Angela and I know you are going to leave both encouraged and also with a little “tough love perspective” for pursuing Jesus.

Don’t worry, there is SO much grace in this conversation. I promise, you are in the right place!

Angela Pitnikoff is a pastor’s wife, boy mom, worship leader and podcaster. She is so down to earth and fun to be around and you’re going to leave with some foundational reasons and practical ways you can connect with God Consistently!
