Mom2Mom MENTORING - Work/Life Harmony, Soul-Care, Kingdom Minded Moms
š¤·š»āāļø Do you wonder where the mystical land of work/life balance is? š¤·š»āāļøš¤·š»āāļøAre you searching, striving, or longing to discover a better way to lead yourself and your family? š¤·š»āāļøš¤·š»āāļøš¤·š»āāļøIs your soul weary and often overextended and overwhelmed? š¤·š»āāļøš¤·š»āāļøš¤·š»āāļøš¤·š»āāļøDo you want to build your business or career but are afraid of letting one of those spinning plates drop? ā ā 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, , Iām 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 ā Faith Filled woman ā A woman who spoke words of life to others ā A leader in the church or community ā A woman who was actively reaching out, offering hospitality to younger women ā A mom who was encouraging others in godliness ā An overcomer ā A confident woman ā 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!

Feeling stuck in survival mode as a Christian mom? In this episode, discover how God invites you to reimagine your life with hope, healing, and purposeāeven when you cannot see the full picture yet. If youāve been exhausted, discouraged, or unsure whatās next, this conversation will help you begin imagining what renewal might look like in your real, everyday life. āØ
Have you ever looked around at your life and thought,āIām doing all the right things⦠so why does this still feel so hard?ā
You love your family.Youāre committed to your faith.Youāre showing up for work, ministry, and responsibilities every single dayā¦
ā¦but deep down, something feels off.
Youāre tired.Youāre stretched thin.And if youāre honest, you may have quietly stopped hoping that life could feel any different than it does right now.
In this final episode of the Rhythms of Renewal series on the Mom2Mom Mentoring Podcast, weāre talking about something many high-achieving Christian moms struggle to name:
You may not be lacking discipline.You may not be doing anything āwrong.āYou may have simply stopped imagining that things could change.
š Re-imagining is not about having a perfect plan for your future.š Itās not about fixing your life overnight.š And itās definitely not about striving for more.
Itās about permission.
Permission to believe:
āI can live differently.ā
āGod may be inviting me into something specific.ā
āI donāt have to figure out the whole pictureājust notice whatās being highlighted.ā
In this episode, Misty Hughesātransformational coach and mentor for Kingdom-minded moms navigating seasons of changeāshares part of her own story of becoming a single mom and how, in the midst of heartbreak and uncertainty, God restored her ability to imagine a different future for her children⦠and eventually for herself.
Youāll learn:⨠Why exhaustion and disappointment often shut down our ability to dream⨠How re-imagining begins with curiosityānot certainty⨠What Scripture says about Godās ability to do more than we ask or imagine⨠How to notice what the Holy Spirit may already be highlighting in this season⨠A simple awareness practice to help you begin listening for Godās invitation
This episode isnāt about answers.
Itās about opening your heart to the possibility that renewal might begin with one small shift in perspective.
If youāre ready to:āļø move from survival mode into Spirit-led livingāļø rediscover hope in a weary seasonāļø and begin noticing where God may be inviting you next
Be sure to download the free Rhythms of Renewal Mini Guidebook linked in the show notes š

š¬ Join the conversation inside our Facebook Community Mom2Mom Mentoringš² Follow the podcast so you never miss an episodeā Leave a review to help other moms find encouragement in their own renewal journeyš¤ And share this episode with a friend who may need permission to imagine again
Because hereās the truth:
God is not asking you to figure out your future.Heās inviting you to trust Him with the next step.
And sometimesā¦renewal begins the moment you believe a different story might still be possible. šæ

Have you ever rested but still felt worn thin inside? You got a full night's sleep, maybe even a girls' weekend away, but something in your soul still feels exhausted. This episode reveals why rest alone doesn't always heal the deeper placesāand how God restores what depletion has damaged.
You might just need restoration, not just rest. š
In Part 2 of the Rhythms of Renewal series, Misty Hughes explores the profound difference between rest and restoration, and why so many Christian moms are functioning well on the outside but feeling numb, disconnected, and spiritually dry on the inside.
In this episode, you'll discover:
⨠Why new moms lose an average of 700 hours of sleep in the first year (and why sleep fragmentation is as damaging as total sleep deprivation)
š The powerful truth behind Psalm 23: "He restores my soul"āand what restoration actually looks like
š Signs you may need restoration: functioning well but feeling emotionally numb, productive but joyless, faithful but spiritually dry
šæ The four layers of restoration: emotional, spiritual, identity, and relational healing
š How restoration happens through honest naming, remembering your identity, receiving grace, and small repeated rhythms
Misty vulnerably shares her own story of discovering shattered places in her soulāeven decades into her faith journeyāand how God continues to gently repair what's been worn down, strained, or distorted over time.
Key Truth from This Episode: Rest stops the depletion. Restoration rebuilds what that depletion has damaged. Rest creates roomārestoration is what God does in that space.
If you feel chronically drained, emotionally numb despite being productive, or spiritually dry even though you love Jesusāthis episode will meet you right where you are with hope, truth, and a gentle invitation from the One who restores souls.
Free Resource: Download the Rhythms of Renewal Mini Workbook to help you identify where God might be inviting rest or restoration into your life right now. No pressure. No shame. Just gentle awareness and partnership with the One who restores your soul.

Are you an overwhelmed Christian mom feeling exhausted physically, emotionally, and spiritually? You're not alone. š
If you've ever collapsed into bed wondering why you feel so drainedāeven though you love your family, your faith, and your callingāthis episode is for you.
Many Christian moms today carry invisible weight. You're managing schedules, supporting your family, showing up at church, pursuing your career or business, caring for relationships, and trying to stay spiritually connectedāall at the same time. And somewhere in the middle of doing all the right things, you quietly whisper:
"Why am I so tired?" "Why do I feel disconnected from God?" "Why does life feel so heavy when I know I'm blessed?"
In this powerful opening episode of the Rhythms of Renewal series, Misty Hughes invites you into an honest and hope-filled conversation about exhaustion, identity, and the invitation Jesus extends to women running on empty.
What You'll Discover:
⨠Why your exhaustion isn't failureāit's actually an invitation
š The deeper meaning of Jesus' tender invitation in Matthew 11:28ā30 to the weary and burdened
š How rest is more than sleep or self-careāit's a relational rhythm that renews your soul from the inside out
š« The 7 Areas of Rest framework that helps you understand why you can be sleeping but still exhausted, surrounded by people but still lonely, or love God but still feel spiritually dry
The 7 Areas of Rest Include:
Physical Rest
Emotional Rest
Mental Rest
Spiritual Rest
Sensory Rest
Creative Rest
Social Rest
Misty introduces the foundation of the four life-giving rhythms explored throughout this series:
Rest
Restore
Relationship
Re-Imagine
These rhythms aren't tasks to completeāthey're invitations to live differently and rediscover who God created you to be.
Free Resources: Download the Rhythms of Renewal Mini Workbook to process what God is stirring in your heart and identify areas where you need deeper rest.
Ready to go deeper? Join the Rhythms of Renewal 12-Week Cohort Waitlist for guided transformation, biblical coaching, and community support.
If you've been longing to reconnect with God, rediscover your identity, and step out of survival mode, this episode will remind you that rest is not weaknessāit's sacred.
Because when you begin living from true rest, you don't just survive⦠you begin to shine.
And when you shine, you give others permission to shine too. āØ

Feeling overwhelmed, stretched too thin, and exhausted from trying to control outcomes you were never meant to carry? You're not alone. In this episode, I'm sharing a powerful story about a wave that literally crashed over my head in Puerto Ricoāand what God whispered to my heart in that moment that's changing how I'm walking into 2026.
Maybe you're bracing for the next hard thing. Maybe you're stuck in "what if" mode, living in constant fear of what's coming. Maybe you're spiritually dry, carrying invisible guilt, and wondering when you'll finally get to exhale.
Here's what I want you to know: You are safe with Him. You can actually enjoy the wind and the waves when He's the One hiding you in the cleft of the rock.
š In This Episode, You'll Discover:
The miraculous story of a rare wave in Puerto Rico and what it revealed about God's delight in His daughters
Why Peter began to sink (and what that means for you when life feels overwhelming)
The difference between bracing for impact and trusting the One who holds you
How to move from "what if" thinking to faith-filled living
What Psalm 42:7-8 teaches us about waves sweeping over us while God directs His love
Practical ways to stop surviving and start thriving in 2026
š” This Episode Is Perfect For You If:
You're doing all the right things but still feel like something's missing
You're tired of living in survival mode and craving more peace and purpose
You're struggling with decision fatigue, mom guilt, or constant overwhelm
You want to reconnect with Jesus in a way that feels personal and life-giving again
You're ready to let go of control and step into the abundant life you're promised
⨠The Big Takeaway: The wave is comingābut so is the joy. When you keep your eyes fixed on Jesus instead of bracing for impact, you can experience delight in the adventure because you know who's holding you.
As I share in the episode, I wasn't always this way. For years, I lived in "what if" land, dwelling in fear and exhausting everyone around me. But through my divorce and single parenting journey, I learned that God is trustworthy, that He has my best interest at heart, and that His joy goes even deeper than the sorrow.
This isn't a quick fixāit's a sacred shift. And if you're ready to stop surviving and start living in abundance and alignment, I'm here to help.

Feeling overwhelmed by mom guilt and wondering if you'll ever measure up? šµāš« You're juggling work, kids, and trying to keep it all togetherābut that voice in your head keeps telling you you're failing. Mama, what if I told you that freedom from guilt isn't about doing more, but about surrendering control and inviting God into the mess?
In this episode of Mom2Mom Mentoring, I sit down with Dr. Laura Leeāa mom, prenatal and pediatric chiropractor with 23+ years of experience, and author of Postpartum Reimaginedāfor one of the most honest conversations about the guilt, anxiety, and overwhelm that so many of us carry in silence.
Dr. Laura gets real about her own journey: š the checklist mentality that left her emotionally empty, the constant comparison that stole her contentment, and the wrestle between wanting to be a stay-at-home mom while God kept calling her back to her practice. If you've ever felt torn between work and home, guilty about not being present enough, or anxious that you're missing something importantāthis is YOUR conversation.
Here's what we dive into:
⨠The hidden connection between mom guilt and our need for control (and why letting go changes everything)
š How to identify the negative "guilt tapes" playing on repeat in your mindāand what to do about them
š” Why confession is the first step to freedom (it's simpler than you think!)
ā° How to start your healing journey with just 2 minutes a day, even in the carpool line
š The mentorship practice that transformed Dr. Laura's relationship with God and motherhood
ā¤ļø Why checking all the boxes doesn't equal being a good momāand what does
šļø Practical ways to manage anxiety, find peace, and stop comparing yourself to other moms
If you're a working mom struggling with time management, feeling guilty about your career, or carrying the mental load of trying to be everything to everyoneāthis episode will meet you with so much grace. Dr. Laura shares the biblical wisdom and practical tools that helped her move from constant overwhelm to authentic peace.
You don't need another checklist. You need permission to breathe, to start small, and to believe that you really are enough for your kids.
