The Worthy Wife|Accepted,Self-confidence,Empty Nester,Marriage,Eggshells

What would life be like if you had the confidence to be yourself? What if you had the courage to speak up without the fear of rejection or feeling like you're disappointing others? How great would it be to stop trying to please others or living under the pressure to “perform” to feel accepted ? . Hey, I’m Carrie. Certified Life Coach, wife, and mom. This podcast is where I help wives like you learn how to build self-confidence, and acceptance of who you truly are through biblical truths and by managing your mind and your emotions. You’ll discover how to stop people-pleasing, stop carrying emotional burdens that are not yours to carry , and step boldly into the role God has given you as a wife, mom, and empty nester. For years, I tried to keep everyone else happy. I ignored my own desires and stayed small thinking that my worth was tied to how well I pleased others. But here’s the truth: it was exhausting and it didn’t work. I was believing a lie. Our worth is rooted in Christ—not in your husband’s emotions, your children’s choices, or your ability to fulfill anyone else’s expectations. If you are feeling stuck or are longing for connection in a difficult marriage; if you want to reclaim your God-given identity so that you can walk in peace without losing yourself, grab yourself some earbuds and settle in because I am going to cover all of this and so much more!

Biblical Peace, Emotional Safety, and Boundaries Without Guilt for Christian Wives

Show Notes

For many Christian wives, “keeping the peace” feels like the loving, faithful thing to do. We stay quiet. We smooth things over. We manage emotions—our own and everyone else’s—so nothing escalates.

But over time, that kind of peacekeeping often leaves us tense, guarded, and walking on eggshells.

In this episode, I explore the important di...

New Year’s Resolutions, God-Given Desires, and the Goals We’re Afraid to Admit We Want

Should Christian women set goals? (I love this episode so much) Is it okay to want more — more impact, more purpose, more joy — or does that mean we’re ungrateful or prideful?

In today’s episode, I’m talking honestly about New Year’s resolutions, big dreams, and the quiet guilt many Christian women carry when they feel a desire stirring inside th...

As this year comes to a close, I want to talk about something many Christian wives quietly wrestle with: worthiness.

So many women live as though their value is tied to performance — how well they’re doing as a wife, a mother, a Christian, or a person. In this episode, I share a different perspective rooted in Scripture: your worth is not earned, not fragile, and not under construction. In Christ, it is a finished work.

In this episode, I speak directly to the woman who loves the Lord and still finds herself unsettled by how different life feels now.

We talk about God’s sovereignty and why pain doesn’t mean something has gone wrong or that you’ve missed His will. I share how peace begins when we release misplaced responsibility and return power to God alone—especially when it comes to our adult children and circumstances beyond our control.

Are you actually having any fun this Christmas?

As Christian women—especially wives, mothers, and keepers of the emotional atmosphere—we’ve been told (directly or indirectly) that holiness means seriousness, that reverence means quiet heaviness, and that grief or hardship automatically disqualifies us from laughter or joy.

But that’s simply not true.

In this episode, I talk about why fun doesn’t cancel out sadness, why your grief i...

In this episode, I share how Christian wives can finally experience the peaceful, joyful Christmas they’ve been longing for — not the one tradition and family expectations demand. I talk about why Christmas feels heavy, how our thoughts shape our experience, and why you’re allowed to redefine what the holidays look like in your home.

In today’s episode, I share how I spent years misusing Scripture and shrinking myself inside my marriage—all because of the messages Christian women were taught 35 years ago about obedience, submission, and “being a good wife.” I talk through how Romans 14:12 opened my eyes to biblical autonomy and how stepping into Spirit-led adulthood changed everything for my marriage and my walk with God.

Can You Trust What You Want? When Delighting in God Shapes Your Desires

When I first learned that God gives us “the desires of our heart,” I used to think that meant if I behaved well enough, He’d reward me with what I wanted. But over time, I’ve learned that delighting in Him actually reshapes what I want.

In this episode, I talk about what it means to truly delight in the Lord — to enjoy His presence — and how that transforms our...
