• 337 \\ The Sacred and Stretchy Calling of Motherhood (Especially in Summer)

  Hey Sisters! In today's raw and real podcast episode, we're diving deep into the true essence of motherhood - not the perfectly curated Instagram version, but the messy, beautiful, challenging reality of raising children while maintaining your faith and sanity. This summer has been intense for me personally. Between recovering from surgery, moving to a new town, and managing multiple kid appointments, I've been feeling the weight of motherhood more than ever. But here's the truth: you're not alone, and you're definitely not failing. I want to remind you that motherhood is a spiritual calling, not just a daily task. Scripture tells us children are a heritage from the Lord, and every moment - even the chaotic ones - matters. We explored the powerful stories of Lois and Eunice, Timothy's grandmother and mother, who shaped a key church leader through their quiet, consistent faith. Key takeaways: Motherhood isn't about perfection, but about consistently showing up Your faith matters more than your Instagram-worthy moments God sees you and is strengthening you, even when you feel exhausted I shared some personal strategies for maintaining spiritual health: inviting God into every moment, being honest with my kids about my limitations, and creating space for myself. I'm also doing a 30-day social media detox to help me stay focused and present. Journal prompts to help you reflect: How do you see motherhood as a spiritual calling? What does parenting with eternity in mind look like for you? How is your faith showing up in daily mom life? Remember, you are doing important Kingdom work. Those seeds you're planting? They matter more than you know. Praying for you always, Michelle P.S. Need support? Email me at [email protected]. You're not alone in this journey.

• 336 \\ This Is What Freedom Really Looks Like!

  Hey Set Free Sisterhood! Today's episode is all about freedom, and I'm recording this on July 4th from my brand new home - how fitting, right? I've been thinking a lot about what freedom really means, and I want to dive deep with you today. Freedom isn't just about fireworks and flags. It's about breaking free from the internal chains we put on ourselves. Those thoughts that keep us stuck, those habits that control us, those fears that paralyze us - that's what we're talking about today. I want you to get real honest with yourself. Where are you not experiencing true freedom? Maybe it's emotional eating, maybe it's people-pleasing, maybe it's overthinking your future. I've been there, and I know how suffocating those patterns can feel. Here's the beautiful truth - you have a choice. God has given you complete agency to choose differently. It's not about being perfect, it's about being intentional. Every single day, you get to decide. You get to choose clarity over compulsion. I'm challenging you to do three things this week: Identify one area where you've been on autopilot Make one intentional choice that aligns with your values Ask for one piece of support - from a friend, a coach, your community If you're feeling stuck and want personalized support, I'm here. Email me at [email protected]. I'd love to walk alongside you in this journey of freedom. Remember, you are stronger than you think, and more loved than you can imagine. You have the power to break free. Stay blessed, and I'll see you next time.

• 335 \\ Deprogramming from a Culture That Told You to Numb Out - Part 3

  In this powerful final installment of our Wine Culture Awareness Series, I'm pulling back the curtain on how alcohol has subtly infiltrated our lives, disguised as self-care and freedom. This episode is for anyone who's questioning their relationship with drinking - whether you're still consuming alcohol or already alcohol-free. Key Insights: You are not broken - you've been conditioned to cope with challenges in unhealthy ways Alcohol often becomes a mechanism to numb emotional pain, trauma, and stress Cultural messaging has normalized drinking as a solution to life's difficulties Biblical Perspective: I dive deep into scriptures that remind us God is always present, even when we feel most distant. Key verses include: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted" (Psalms) "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart" (Jeremiah) Challenging Your Beliefs: I encourage listeners to: Investigate the origin of their drinking habits Question beliefs like "wine relaxes me" or "I'm more fun when drinking" Recognize that alcohol often creates numbness, not genuine relaxation Personal Reflection Questions: What would you be doing if you didn't believe these lies about drinking? How would you feel if alcohol wasn't controlling your choices? Call to Action: Choose truth over trends Seek support in your journey Start investigating the roots of your drinking patterns Connect with Me: Email: [email protected] Let's continue this important conversation and support each other's healing journey. Remember: You were meant to live fully, not to numb yourself. With love and grace, Michelle

• 333 \\ How Wine Culture Got in Our Heads—and Our Hands - Part 1

  In this week's podcast, I pulled back the curtain on something that's been silently infiltrating our lives: wine culture. We've been sold a lie that alcohol is the solution to stress, overwhelm, and life's challenges. But I'm here to tell you - you are stronger than that narrative. I want you to know that you were never meant to numb your life. You were meant to live it fully, freely, and on purpose. Whether you're still drinking, questioning your habits, or already alcohol-free, this message is for you. Wine culture targets women, especially moms, with marketing that glamorizes drinking as self-care. But ask yourself: Is this truly caring for yourself? Are you handling your stress, or are you avoiding it? If you're ready to break free, I'm here to support you. My one-on-one coaching helps women transform from the inside out. We'll uncover the beliefs keeping you stuck and create a path to true freedom. Reach out. Your journey to a life without alcohol starts with one step. With love and support, Michelle Porterfield Set Free Sisterhood P.S. Email me at [email protected] to schedule your consultation. Your breakthrough is waiting.
