Mama’s Tired | Time Management, Overwhelm, Organization, Peace, Patience

Do you wish you had enough time in your day to get everything done? Are you tired of feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and impatient with your kids? Do you wonder what it would be like to say “no” and prioritize your needs for a change? I am so excited you’re here! This podcast is for the mamas who are doing all the things and running on empty. If you are looking to regain your peace, become a more patient mom, and finally have the time to be fully present with your family instead of worrying about everything that needs to be done, then this show is for you. Hey, I’m Rachel. A wife, child of God, and fellow mama in the trenches. For years, my days felt chaotic, my time felt hijacked, and peace felt like a fantasy. I was living in survival mode, placing my hope in planners and to-do lists. I finally realized that if I was going to have a peaceful home and stop letting the enemy steal my joy and my time, I needed to implement systems to get me there. I created a routine that fits ME and my family. A simple strategy that we could actually stick with. A lifestyle that made managing our time not just doable, but sustainable . And I’m ready to share it with you! Each week, we will talk routines, time hacks, mindset shifts, and real-life ways to bring calm back into your home and heart. Because burnout isn’t the plan. Let’s reset and find the peace you’ve been craving together. Heat up your morning coffee and throw that laundry back in the dryer, my friend. It’s time to jump in.

Balance. The word moms hear over and over again… but here’s the truth: Balance is a myth.

It suggests you can (and should) give equal time, energy, and attention to everything — work, home, self-care, kids — all at once. But motherhood doesn’t (and shouldn’t) work that way. Life moves in seasons and rhythms, not perfect symmetry.

It’s time to stop striving for balance and start creating systems that actually work in your real life...

Have you ever snapped at your kids over something small… and then instantly felt guilty? Or craved silence so badly you could scream if you hear one more “Mom, Mama, Mommy?"

That, mama, is overstimulation. And it’s one of the most common — yet least talked about — struggles for moms.

The truth is, your brain and body are processing constant noise, touch, and demands every single day. Add in the invisible mental load of keeping a ho...

Are you feeling buried under all the “stuff?” Tired of looking at piles of stuff and not knowing where to start? Clutter costs you energy you don’t even realize you’re spending.

 

Good news: decluttering doesn’t have to mean an all-day project.

 

Decluttering isn’t just about your house looking better. It’s about creating mental and emotional breathing room too.

 

Peace doesn’t come from perfection — it comes from clearing a little...

Feeling stretched thin?

Snapping over little things?

Mentally holding a thousand invisible tasks?

I used to think peace would come when everything was done.

Spoiler alert: it never was.

Peace came when I let go of the guilt, the pressure, and the ‘shoulds.’

Today we’re talking about what to drop — not what to add — so you can make more space for peace, presence, and sanity.

When women come to me to work together on their nutrition, I always end up hearing so many sad stories. These women are living lives where they’ve been skipping meals for years in order to lose weight. When they do eventually end up eating, they are terrified of carbs or eating over the 1,200 calories we've all been conditioned to think is a "magic" number. The nutrition world has come so far, and yet, the bad advice g...

There is a strong correlation between our nutrition and mental health. Unfortunately, the American diet is overloaded with processed foods that can lead to an increased risk of depression, cognitive impairment, and ADHD.
