Mom2Mom MENTORING - Work/Life Harmony, Soul-Care, Kingdom Minded Moms

🤷🏻‍♀️ Do you wonder where the mystical land of work/life balance is? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️Are you searching, striving, or longing to discover a better way to lead yourself and your family? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️Is your soul weary and often overextended and overwhelmed? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️Do you want to build your business or career but are afraid of letting one of those spinning plates drop? ✝ ✝ Are you looking for older women of faith who can share their nuggets of wisdom and offer you the encouragement you need to be a better you? Well, Marvelous Mom and Magnificant Mom-To-Be, , I’m Misty Hughes, I have been in that place. I spent countless years searching, weeping, and whining to God about the lack of older women who might serve as a mentor for me. I was a young mom, raising 4 kids, divorced, without a clue as to how to live in Christ, manage my home, provide for the family, love my kids, and care for myself. I looked around my church for a woman I could emulate. I longed for someone I could look to for wisdom. I ached for an older woman to encourage me. I wanted someone approachable, someone who had weathered the storms of life and was sailing on to her brighter future. I looked for a ✝ Faith Filled woman ✝ A woman who spoke words of life to others ✝ A leader in the church or community ✝ A woman who was actively reaching out, offering hospitality to younger women ✝ A mom who was encouraging others in godliness ✝ An overcomer ✝ A confident woman ✝ A woman who loved her family well + A woman who worked outside of the home or had her own business I read in my Bible about this Titus 2 older woman; I had images of what that should look like in my life. But I found no one. After a few years of grumbling and complaining, and maybe even a temper tantrum or two, I began to ask God to make me the solution to the problem. At the age of 36, newly divorced and a hot mess, I began inviting college girls to coffee, lunch, or to our home for dinner. My personal journey of being a mentor had begun. Over the years, I have mentored, coached, and taught countless women. I have also had the privilege of meeting many exceptional women who walk in wisdom, insight, and integrity. (The mentors we all long for.) Each week, I invite you to PRESS PAUSE on the busy demands of life, sit around the table with some of the most amazing women you will ever meet, glean nuggets of wisdom from these expert moms, and find answers to the questions your heart is searching for. So, grab your drink of choice, plug in those AirPods, and get ready to drink the encouragement your weary soul needs!

Mother’s Day isn't all flowers and breakfast in bed—especially for the busy, faithful, Kingdom-minded mom who's quietly carrying disappointment behind her smile.
In this raw and hope-filled episode, Misty shares her personal journey of navigating the emotional rollercoaster of Mother’s Day over nearly 40 years of motherhood. From early joy to later resentment, from unmet expectations to a powerful encounter with God’s truth—this episode speaks to the mom who feels unseen, uncelebrated, or just plain tired.
If you’ve ever whispered, “Is it too much to want to feel appreciated?”—this conversation is for you. Misty opens up about the transformation that happened when she stopped tying her worth as a mom to her children’s responses, and started anchoring her identity in what God says about her.
💬 You’ll reflect on:
The complicated emotions behind Mother’s Day for many working moms
How to shift your mindset from bitterness to blessing
Why rest, recognition, and reconnection matter more than material gifts
A powerful reminder:
You are not a failure—you are a faithful, fierce, and flourishing mom
💡 Whether you're in the thick of parenting, navigating adult children, or somewhere in between—this episode invites you to pause, process, and pursue peace.
👣 Take the Next Step:If this message stirred something in you, don’t keep going alone. Book a free Clarity Call with Misty to talk through what’s rising in your heart. Sometimes the most healing thing we can do is say, “This matters.”

Ok Mom,
🤔💭 Imagine if your brain were a web browser, except instead of having a few neatly organized tabs open, you've got 137 tabs running.
🎶 Five of them are playing music you can't find,◌♾️ One is stuck buffering ☕ᝰ.ᐟ While you are just trying to figure out where you left your coffee.  
That, my friends, is often the experience of a mom with ADHD.ADHD in adults, particularly moms, is a real and often misunderstood challenge.
It's not just about being scatterbrained or losing your keys for the 10th time today. It's about how executive dysfunction makes managing a household feel like juggling flaming swords while blindfolded.
The mental load of schedules, laundry, meal planning, and keeping tiny humans alive can be overwhelming for any mom.
But for those with ADHD it's like trying to organize a closet while a 🌪️tornado (or a toddler) keeps pulling everything back out. 
 
The good news.
ADHD also comes with some incredible strengths,
💪🏽 creativity, 💪🏽 💪🏽 hyperfocus, 💪🏽 💪🏽 💪🏽 ability to problem solve, 💪🏽 💪🏽 💪🏽 💪🏽 an empathetic heart, and so much MORE.
But how do you move from barely surviving to actually thriving?
Well, that's exactly what we're diving into today with my guest, Audra Queen, the powerhouse behind Thriving Queen Coaching
In this episode of Mom2Mom Mentoring, we’re diving deep into the reality of ADHD and autism in motherhood with Audra. We unpack executive dysfunction, sensory sensitivities, and the grief and empowerment that come with a late diagnosis.
🦸🏻‍♀️ Audra shares her journey to self-acceptance, how she’s learned to embrace her neurodivergence as a superpower, and why most of the world is actually neurodivergent—but society just isn’t built for us.
“Most of the world is neurodivergent. The problem isn’t us—it’s that the world wasn’t built for us.” – Audra Queen
✨ Download the Chaos to Calm Chore Chart—the exact system Katie Welch developed to bring peace to her home as a mom of six. She shares it freely with the families she supports through Foster Light. Want to hear more about her journey? Listen to Episode 45!

👋🏽 Hey Mama,
Have you ever noticed how easy it is to focus on what’s missing? 🔍
❌The messy house,
❌ the to-do list that never ends,
❌ the ways you feel like you don’t measure up?
It’s like our 👀 eyes are naturally drawn to the gaps, the voids, the places where we feel like we’re falling short.
But what if I told you that what you behold is what you become?
In this episode, we’re flipping the script and learning to fix our eyes on who God is instead of what we think is lacking. We’ll dive into the story of the 12 spies from Numbers 13-14—how ten of them focused on the giants and fear, while Joshua and Caleb fixed their gaze on the faithfulness of God.
The result?
Their perspective shaped their destiny.
And, friend, the same is true for us!
I’ll also share two practical ways to shift your focus back to Jesus in your everyday life. Whether you’re unloading the dishwasher, running late for school drop-off, or feeling the weight of all your responsibilities, these small shifts will help you see God’s presence in the middle of it all.
Oh, and I’ve got a special free resource just for you—one that’s been near and dear to my heart since 1998. It’s a list of The Names of God & Scripture References, passed down from my mentor Kathleen Kennedy. This is the very tool that helped me learn to pray God’s names instead of dwelling on life’s struggles, and I want to share it with you!
⚓ Download it now at mom2mommentoring.com/namesofgod and let your heart be anchored in who He is.
If this episode encouraged you, be sure to share it with a friend and leave a review. And always remember:
When you shine, you give others permission to shine too! 💛✨

Beloved Kingdom-Minded Momma,
Have you ever heard yourself say, "I just need more CONFIDENCE?" 
Do you wish God would have given you an extra portion of confidence? 
                                                                                                                                                                         
Well, my Mom Mentor friend Kimberly Wright has something to say about that and you are going to want to lean into her wisdom and insight. 
Growing up in a toxic home, Kimberly had some choices to make as an adult and raising her own children. Her grandma gave her the best advice, wisdom that carried HOPE: 
 "You have two chances to have a family in your life. The one you're born into and the one you create. So you get to create the family you want.  And that was just the richest advice." 
So Kimberly set out on a journey to create a family that thrived. 
In this powerful episode, Kimberly Wright—a National Mother of the Year (wait until you hear THIS story) , author, speaker, and leadership mentor—and I talk about what it really takes to thrive as a busy Christian working mom.
 
🔥 You’ll learn:✅ Why courage matters more than confidence—and how to cultivate it daily.✅ The real key to being fully present with your kids (even when life is overwhelming).✅ How to set boundaries that honor both your family and your faith.✅ The two things Kimberly instilled in her kids that made all the difference.
And SO much more! 😍
 
✨ Ready to go deeper? Join Misty for her FREE Align Your Life with What Matters Most Masterclass on March 20 & 21 from 12:00-1:00 PM CST! Register now at https://lead-her-ministries.myflodesk.com/gbjq9r5s5q and take the first step toward a life of peace, purpose, and presence. 💛
