Episode Summary: How do you spend the very first sixty seconds of your day? For so many of us, muscle memory kicks in the moment we open our eyes: we reach for our phones, start scrolling, and immediately flood our minds with the world's noise and other people's emergencies.

But for the mom in the trenches, the sudden loss of the school routine often triggers sensory overload, mom guilt, and a frantic desire to become the ultimate "Cruise Director" of the family.

If you have ever scrolled the news after the kids go to bed and felt a cold grip of panic about the world they are growing up in, you are not alone.

Right on cue, the mom guilt creeps in. You wonder if God is disappointed in you because you can't handle the very children you prayed for. You think a "good Christian mom" wouldn't feel this way.

Do you ever scroll through social media, see another woman leading a formal ministry or doing something "big," and feel a heavy blanket of inadequacy fall over you?
