** TOP 2% Podcast** Welcome, Mama! Are you ready to stop being a victim to stress and anxiety? Do you lash out at your husband and children as a result of feeling burned out and having no more patience? Are you ready to cave under the overwhelm of motherhood and pressure to get everything done? Do you desperately wish you could stop feeling behind, inadequate, and just not enough? Wishing you knew how to connect with God and feel closer to Him in the middle of your stress? You are not alone, sister! I am so excited you are here! This podcast will help you manage stress naturally, so you can feel more confident and content despite the stressors of motherhood, feel at peace, and feel connected to God in the middle of the chaos of motherhood. Hey, I’m Christen. A mom, wife, Jesus lover, and user of essential oils. I did not understand what anxiety was until I became a mother, and how the stress of juggling it all could weigh me down. So, I sought out other ways to manage the stress - working out, eating better, drinking all the coffee and even sought self-care through social media and binge-watching Netflix after the kids were in bed. But it wasn’t sustainable, and the calm of the moment would cease to exist when I re-entered the overwhelming reality of motherhood again. I found myself physically, mentally, and emotionally drained-wishing I could be anywhere but home, while also feeling guilty for wanting a break from the constant tug of mother and wife responsibilities. The frustrations of constantly being needed and never being able to complete a task at home without a thousand interruptions began to pour into a tall glass of passive-aggressiveness toward my husband when he got home from work. But God, He is faithful, and He is good. He used my love for His word and essential oils to show me and teach me how to create habits to slow down in the moments of chaos, find peace in the midst of overwhelm and stress, and how to have more energy, better sleep and manage stress so that I can be FAITHFUL IN WHATEVER task He puts before me. Now, I have confidence in knowing that through the renewing of my mind, and the empowering of my body through natural wellness, I can manage stress in a way that glorifies God. Despite the never-ending list of to do’s or what feels like the thankless tasks of motherhood, I am content with my identity in Christ. And as the Lord fills my cup, I can overflow with love, joy , peace , patience , kindness, goodness and faithfulness to my children and to my husband, REGARDLESS OF MY CIRCUMSTANCES AND DESPITE MY FEELINGS. IF YOU ARE READY to finally find an easy way to manage stress using scripture and essential oils so you can… ＞Feel connected to God; ＞Be confident; ＞Be content of who you are in Christ; ＞Find true peace; and ＞Know how to use essential oils for more energy, better rest and manage stress- this podcast is for you!

Hey Mama,
It never fails that the majority of my stress stems from me not meeting my own expectations. My toxic trait is trying to fit one more thing in a time block that just doesn't have space, and then I find myself flying by the seat of my pants to get it done. For me, this worked for YEARS, but recently, my body has been telling me I need to create more space to manage the amount of stress in our current season.

Last week we talked about the importance of drinking water, the damage dehydration can do to your body, and all the amazing benefits of good hydration, not only for your physical body, but also for your ability to manage stress.

Hey Mama,

However, I have learned that no matter how busy my schedule, I can find at least ...
Hey Mama,
Living in a fallen world means we will encounter circumstances and situations beyond our control. We will make mistakes and fall short, because we are human, and, inevitably, we will feel stress and anxiousness because we cannot control our husband, our children, or the events for the day.
What we can control, however, is how we respond to these things.
We can better respond to the stress of life by preparing our bodie...

Hey Mama,
Do you feel stressed when things don’t go as planned?
As a mom of two boys, and an LEO Wife, my life is unpredictable most days. As a mom who strives on structure and routine, God has been working steadily to de-construct the idol of control that I have made for myself.
In this deconstruction, I have learned very important lessons that have helped me navigate the frustration of interruption, the overwhelm of the un...
Hey Mama,
In our busiest seasons of life, we tend to rely on our own devices to save the day. We plan it all, organize it all, and do it all so we know it will be done right. But what happens when we fail to meet our own expectations for how the day was supposed to go?
What do we do when our shortcomings result in stress for not doing enough, mom guilt for not being enough, and overwhelm because we have just had enough?

Hey Mama,
Living in a world affected by sin means grief and loss is inevitable. As busy moms, we often do not allow ourselves time or space to properly grieve. Sometimes it is the demands of our current season of life, and other times we simply do not want to re-live moments we wish we could forget.
Whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one, the loss of a season of life, or grieving the effects of sin in this world genera...
Hey Mama,
Part of being an overstimulated mom is feeling like you have lost control over your present circumstances. You find yourself overwhelmed, and often overcommitted to things that really don’t matter.

Hey Mama,
If you are feeling tired, sluggish, and have brain fog, you may need to detox! When I started my health and wellness journey over a decade ago, I had no idea detoxing your body was even possible. The unfortunate reality is that detox is no longer a “fad,” but instead has become a necessity to help our bodies function in a world inundated with toxins.
As Christian moms, we know God gives us only one body this side of heav...
Hey Mama,
As a busy mom who spins a ton of plates, my health and wellness used to fall to the wayside until I learned how to make time for my wellness, despite my busy schedule, so I wasn't forced to make time for my sickness, which always results in a complete break down of how my household functions.
I used to think feeling tired and like I was running on E most of the time was normal. Now I know that I was completely ignoring s...

...Hey Mama,
You know when it’s coming. The sneezing, coughing, runny noses, and germy hands that tag along with seasonal changes. The old me went to the big box store to stock up on over the counter medicines to help us miserably mask the symptoms associated with seasonal threats. I would have to be sure to leave enough sick time to manage all the time off with sick children, and then take additional time for when I would also get s...
