The Work Like A Mother Podcast | Working From Home, Working Moms, Faith, Organization, Time Management

You’re building a career, raising a family, leading a home, and trying to keep God at the center of it all. It’s a lot—but you were never meant to do it alone or strive your way through it. Welcome to The Work Like A Mother Podcast, a lifestyle and leadership show for ambitious women who refuse to choose between faith, family, and meaningful work. Hosted by Marina Tolentino—wife, mom of two, entrepreneur, REALTOR®, and business owner—this podcast explores what it really looks like to build a life that honors God without sacrificing the people and priorities that matter most. Each week, you'll hear honest conversations, biblical wisdom, and practical strategies on faith, motherhood, leadership, entrepreneurship, productivity, home, financial stewardship, and building a lasting legacy. We'll tackle everything from discipling and disciplining our children with grace and truth, to creating healthy family rhythms, leading businesses with purpose, managing our time with intention, and building systems that create more freedom—not more hustle. If you've ever felt torn between your calling and your family, overwhelmed by all the hats you wear, or wondered if there's a better way than constantly striving, you're in the right place. This is a place for women who want to work with excellence, lead with conviction, love their families well, and build lives marked by faith, purpose, and intentionality. Because the work you do—both seen and unseen—matters deeply. And when God is at the center, your work becomes more than a career or a checklist—it becomes part of your legacy. So grab your coffee, pull up a chair, and let's build a life that matters—together.
