When You’re Carrying Too Much and Still Have to Show Up: 3 Ways to Navigate a Heavy Season
There are seasons in motherhood that aren’t just hard — they’re heavy.

If you’re carrying something at home that’s consuming your heart, your emotional energy, and your prayers, but you’re still expected to show up at work, keep things moving, and act like everything is fine, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I speak directly to working Christian moms who are navigating heavy family seasons while continuing to show up in their professional and everyday responsibilities. You’ll hear encouragement, biblical truth, and three gentle ways to support yourself when life feels overwhelming and the weight you’re carrying feels invisible.

This is not an episode about trying harder or pushing through. It’s about recognizing when you’re carrying too much and learning how to receive support — spiritually, emotionally, and practically — in a season that requires more from you than you expected.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

The difference between a hard day or week and a truly heavy season

Why survival mode in a heavy season is not failure — it’s faithfulness

A personal story about redefining “doing your best” when capacity changes

Three practical ways to navigate a heavy season, including:

Permission to lower the bar without guilt

When and how to communicate your needs at work

Why allowing others to help is part of God’s design, not a weakness

Encouragement for staying connected to God when your spiritual rhythms feel disrupted

Hope and reassurance that God sees you and is present in the middle of your heaviness

A word of encouragement
If you’re showing up tired, stretched, and emotionally spent, you are not falling behind or failing God. You are faithfully walking through a season that requires grace, support, and gentleness — not more effort.

God is near to you in this season. He hears the quiet prayers, sees the unseen weight, and is carrying you even when you feel worn down.

 

If you’re realizing that what you need right now isn’t more effort, but better support, Lindsay’s Faithfully Balanced course was created for seasons exactly like this. It’s designed to help working Christian moms clarify priorities, release unrealistic expectations, and create rhythms that support both faith and family — especially when life feels heavy.

When Hustle Culture Steals Your Peace and Leaves You Exhausted—and What You Actually Need Instead

If you’re a working Christian mom who ended the holidays feeling more exhausted than refreshed, you’re not alone. As routines return and responsibilities pile back on, many moms find themselves carrying guilt for resting at all—wondering why peace feels so far away.

In this episode, we talk honestly about how hustle culture quietly steals our peace and convinces us that our worth is tied to productivity. We unpack why exhaustion isn’t a sign you need to push harder, but often a signal that your soul is longing for rest and trust in God.

Using Exodus 14:14—“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still”—we explore how biblical stillness is not passivity, laziness, or giving up. It’s surrender. It’s choosing to stop striving, stop proving, and allow God to fight battles we were never meant to carry.

You’ll hear encouragement for the working mom who feels behind, overwhelmed, and unsure if she’s doing enough—and a reminder that the peace of Jesus isn’t something you earn through perfect performance. It’s a gift freely offered, even in seasons of exhaustion, uncertainty, and unmet expectations.

This episode will help you:

Identify how hustle culture fuels exhaustion and mom guilt

Release the belief that your value is tied to productivity

Understand what biblical rest and stillness really mean

Shift from striving to trusting God with your time, work, and family

Embrace peace that doesn’t depend on having it all together

If you’re longing for more peace and less pressure—especially as you balance faith, family, and work—this conversation will gently point you back to the rest Jesus offers.

 

Questions to consider as you work through your week:

Where am I hustling when God is inviting me to rest?

Where am I carrying guilt that He's already forgiven?

Where can I pause today and remember I am loved, not for what I do, but for who I am in Him?

You're Not Behind: What Faithful Progress Actually Looks Like for Working Moms
Feeling like you're already falling behind on your New Year goals? You're not alone—and you're not failing. In this episode, we're talking about what faithful progress actually looks like when you're juggling work deadlines, bedtime routines, and trying to stay close to Jesus in the middle of it all.

If you started January with good intentions but you're already wondering if you're doing enough, this conversation is for you. I'm breaking down the lie we believe about progress, what the Bible actually teaches about spiritual growth, and how to recognize faithfulness in the everyday moments that feel small but matter eternally.

In this episode, you'll discover:

Why visible progress isn't the same as faithful progress

What the Bible reveals through Noah, Ruth, and the Israelites about slow obedience

The specific ways faithfulness shows up in your real life as a working mom

Why consistency with God matters infinitely more than intensity

How to know if you're actually growing (even when it doesn't feel like it)

What to do when the answer is "no" and you feel stuck or far from God

Plus: I'm inviting you to join our Faithful Progress January Challenge—a month-long journey with daily reflection prompts, weekly Scripture, and a community of working moms letting go of "all-or-nothing" thinking together.

Many moms start the year already feeling behind—before January is even halfway over. Guilt from unmet expectations, comparison, and the pressure to “have it all together” can quietly weigh us down, leaving us stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed. In this episode, Lindsay Walker explores why the new year brings guilt for moms and how leaning into God’s grace can give you a gentle way to release it and start fresh.

You’ll learn:

The difference between conviction and guilt, and why it matters for your heart

How to release last year’s unmet expectations, comparison-driven goals, and the belief that you “should be further along”

A simple surrender moment to let go of what God never asked you to carry

Why starting again doesn’t mean failure—it means you are still responding to God

Plus, I share how the Faithfully Balanced course can help you:

Identify your foundational priorities

Create faith-filled, sustainable weekly rhythms

Set healthy boundaries without guilt or overwhelm

Restore your heart and perspective so starting again feels peaceful, not heavy

🎧 If you’ve ever felt behind, overwhelmed, or burdened at the start of the year, this episode is for you. Press play and take your first step toward a grace-filled, purpose-driven year.

Christian working mom, anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, busy mom, managing anxiety, faith-based productivity, time management for moms, mom guilt, finding peace in chaos, Christian mom

The start of a new year can feel surprisingly heavy—especially for working moms. Even with the best intentions, January often brings pressure to move quickly, get organized, and figure everything out right away. Before long, peace is replaced by urgency, and hope gives way to overwhelm.

In this episode, we slow things down.

Instead of rushing into plans, goals, or productivity, you’re invited to begin the year from a different place—staying close to God rather than striving for clarity. Drawing from Scripture and the example of Jesus, this conversation reminds you that a peaceful start doesn’t come from having everything decided. It comes from abiding, listening, and letting God set the pace.

You’ll hear encouragement for releasing pressure, embracing stillness, and approaching the new year with trust instead of urgency. This episode centers on one simple, Spirit-led question that can help you experience peace when life feels full and the road ahead feels uncertain.

If you’re a working Christian mom who already feels behind—or who wants to start the year faithfully without burning out—this episode will meet you right where you are.

 
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

Why the beginning of the year often feels rushed and overwhelming

What the Bible teaches about peace, stillness, and staying rooted in Christ

How Jesus modeled beginning from intimacy, not urgency

One question that helps replace striving with peace

A gentler, faith-filled way to start the year as a working mom

 

A Question to Carry With You This Week:
Where in your life is God inviting you to stay close instead of striving?

You don’t need to answer this all at once. Return to it in quiet moments—during your commute, in prayer, or when you feel pressure to rush ahead. Peace often comes not from clarity, but from closeness.
