About this listen

Do you ever find yourself wondering, “What am I even doing with my life?”
Do you put yourself in “time-out” just to catch a breath?


Do you ever feel like you belong to everyone else—your husband, your kids, the chores, the commitments—and somewhere along the way, you stopped belonging to yourself?


Well Mama, you are in the right place.


Faithful Mama Rising is a faith-filled podcast for overwhelmed moms who are tired of living in survival mode and ready for calmer days, better rhythms, and fewer meltdowns—yours and theirs.


This is where you’ll start feeling seen, supported, and grounded again… where you finally finish that book you started, make space for the devotional you keep meaning to open, and build routines you can actually stick to—without pressure or perfection.


I’m Mitch—girl mama of two, wife to my hunk-o-hunk of lovin’ husband, Andrew, and a former Mom-ster who once lived knee-deep in overwhelm, resentment, and loneliness.


For years, I believed the right checklist or perfect schedule would magically fix everything. But no amount of planning stopped the Mom-ster from returning—and it definitely didn’t help me feel supported or seen.


Everything changed when I shifted my thinking, got honest about what wasn’t working, and finally asked God what He actually had for me.


Through simple mindset shifts, faith-centered conversations, and practical tools, I learned how to release the pressure of the endless to-do list, ask for help, reconnect with myself, and—get this—be playful again. My lips literally remembered how to smile.


And now? I’m here to walk this journey with you.


If you’re ready to stop chasing quick fixes that only last three days, reclaim the woman God created you to be, and rise out of feeling stuck and into a life of grace, support, and purpose—these are the conversations for you.


So fold the laundry—or don’t (honestly, it’s clean, that’s what matters)—and let’s get our change on.

    Ever feel like every other mom has her faith figured out — and you’re still trying to find five quiet minutes with God?

    As a busy mom, does growing closer to God feel like one more thing on a to-do list you’ll never get to?

    What if you’re not behind on your faith — you just need a different way to live it out?

    If you’re a busy mom who loves God and yet still feels behind on your faith, this episode is for you. We’re talking about why growing closer to God doesn’t require a perfect prayer routine, a quiet house, or even the right words — and what it actually looks like to build a real, everyday relationship with Him in the middle of mom life. Whether you’re just starting to figure out faith as a mom or you’ve been walking with God for years and still feel like you’re falling short, you’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on prayer and a simple way to stay connected to God that actually fits your real life.

    Does it feel like you and your husband are just two bodies occupying the same house?

    Are you always go, go, go and somewhere in the middle of all of it, you lost each other?

    Do your conversations revolve around schedules, kids, and to-do lists and you honestly can't remember the last time you just... talked?

    If you're nodding your head right now, this episode is for you.

    Somewhere between the school pickups and the never-ending to-do lists, a lot of marriages quietly shift from partnership to autopilot. In this episode of Faithful Mama Rising, we're getting into why routines work against your relationship, how small intentional doses of connection and flirting can shift the dynamic faster than you'd think, and why going first is the move that changes everything. If you've been craving more connection with your husband but don't know where to start, this episode will meet you right where you are.

    Tired of feeling like motherhood has swallowed your identity?

    Do you wonder if you’ll ever feel like yourself again outside of diapers, laundry, and sippy cups?

    Ever catch yourself asking, “Am I just here to teach my kids how to survive, or is there more for me?”

    In this episode, I get real about the struggle of losing yourself in motherhood and how to reclaim your sense of identity while fully loving your role as a mom. I share my personal journey—from feeling trapped in routines and exhaustion, to discovering practical ways to reconnect with myself, take small actions that bring momentum, and find joy in the everyday “string cheese moments.”

    You’ll hear how serving others outside your home, embracing your worth, and remembering that being a mom doesn’t limit your dreams can transform your perspective and energize your life. This episode is for any mom who wants to feel empowered, regain her sense of self, and show her children that motherhood and pursuing dreams can coexist beautifully.
