Faith Based Guidance For Moms On How To Be Present In The Chaos with Courtney Schawl

Faith-based guidance for overwhelmed moms navigating motherhood struggles, life transitions, and the longing to be more present.
If you’ve ever felt torn between chasing your God-given dreams and staying present with your kids, this episode will encourage your heart.💖
In this heartfelt coaching-style conversation, Misty sits down with author and business consultant Courtney Schawl—mom of three little ones under three—who shares openly about the challenges of motherhood, the desire for presence, and the daily chaos of parenting. Courtney gets real about what it looks like to balance big dreams with real-life diapers, tantrums, and exhaustion, while still holding onto purpose and peace.
Together, Misty and Courtney explore how Kingdom-minded moms can rediscover their unique calling, find strength in their faith, and step into God’s guidance even when life feels messy and overwhelming.
They talk candidly about
➜ the guilt moms often feel for zoning out or scrolling on their phones,
➜ the struggle of enjoying caregiving tasks, and
➜ the importance of celebrating small wins in motherhood.
You’ll also hear the inspiring story behind Courtney’s new book, You Are the Sum of Your Last Two Moves, which uses the biblical beauty of the Fibonacci sequence to help readers get unstuck in life and take bold, faith-filled steps forward.
This episode is for every mom in transition who longs for spiritual growth, biblical wisdom, and practical encouragement to live powerfully, lead with purpose, and love with passion—even in the middle of everyday chaos.

The One Step Most Moms Skip In Emotional Healing

Most Christian moms struggle with emotions because we were never taught how to process them in God’s presence. In this episode, you’ll discover the one step most women skip in emotional healing—and how to notice, name, and free your emotions with God’s help.
If you’ve ever stuffed down anger, guilt, fear, or even joy, you’re not alone. Many women were raised to believe emotions are “too much,” or even wrong. But God designed our emotions as signals, not problems. They can become a pathway to deeper intimacy with Him when we learn how to bring them into His presence instead of running away from them.
In this episode of Mom2Mom Mentoring, Misty shares her own journey of learning to welcome emotions she once judged or abandoned, and why that shift has brought her greater freedom. You’ll hear a practical, prayerful 4-step rhythm—Notice → Name → Feel → Free—that helps busy Christian moms process emotions in a healthy, biblical way.
✨ What you’ll learn in this episode:
Why emotions are not good or bad—they’re God-given signals.
The surprising step most women skip when seeking emotional healing.
A simple prayer guide to process your feelings with God’s help.

Finding Your God Given Identity In Seasons Of Change

Hey Beautiful Mama,
If you’ve ever felt stressed and overwhelmed in your role as a Christian mom, leader, Uber driver for your family, chef, businesswoman, and all the other roles? Do you find times when you seem to be staring at the blank walls of your life and wondering, “Who am I really? Am I failing at this?”—you are not alone. I’ve been there too.
Well, join me today for the story of my kitchen renovation (not really a renovation, just a little make-over) 
What should have taken 3-4 days literally took me almost a year to complete. Because there was more going on than just a new coat of paint. I was learning to lean into transformation, identity, and learning to live unveiled. 
 
Together, we'll walk through powerful Bible verses about identity in Christ—including 2 Corinthians 3:18 and Romans 12:2—and discover how God invites us to move from mom burnout to flourishing, from guilt to grace, from survival to living with passion and purpose.
You’ll learn:✨ Why transformation is a process (from glory to glory)✨ How to stop copying the world and start renewing your mind✨ The importance of Christ-centered friendships that help you live boldly✨ Practical steps to rediscover joy, find balance, and shine God’s light in your everyday mom life
Friend, God has already approved you. You don’t need the world’s permission to step into your God-given calling as a Kingdom-Minded Glory Bearer. He’s inviting you to realign your life with His plan, set healthy rhythms, and live with purpose and peace.
So grab your coffee (yes, even if it’s gone cold), settle in, and let’s talk about how you can rediscover joy, find your rhythm, and live unveiled as the woman God created you to be.
Because Mama—you’re not unfinished. And when you shine, you give others permission to shine too.
Check out last week's episode to learn how God cares for the barren and desolate woman.

F.R.E.E.D From The Hidden Roots Of Bitterness

I get it.
You’re holding so much—your family, your work, your faith, your home—and while you pour out for everyone else, there are moments when someone’s words or actions sting deeper than you’d like to admit.
It starts small, doesn’t it?
A disappointment here, an offense there.
But slowly, quietly, it grows into something bigger, heavier: bitterness. And the truth is, bitterness never stays hidden—it eventually ♥︎ steals our joy, ♥︎ weighs down our spirit, and ♥︎ makes love harder to give freely.
This week, I want to walk alongside you and talk honestly about when bitterness creeps in. Together, we’ll uncover how it sneaks into our lives, why it holds us back, and most importantly, how God offers freedom from its grip.
❚█══█❚ You don’t have to carry this weight, nor are you created to carry this weight. 
🕊️ Jesus offers something lighter, more beautiful, more freeing.
And I promise—you’ll breathe easier once you take that step toward release.
Let’s take that step together.
Grab the Naming, Feeling, and FREEING Your Emotions Guide and bring your heart to the Master Gardener to let Him plant what is good.

Grace, Grace, God's Grace. 
♫ You've sang it, 🙋🏻‍♀️ You've asked for it, 🎁 You've given it. But how are you at RECEIVING GRACE? 
The definition of grace is undeserved favor, like the goodness that God gives us, no matter., You don't earn it, you can't earn it.  
In this episode of Mom2Mom Mentoring, we learn that grace is so much more. Today, we explore the POWER of Grace. 
It's more than just a good feeling.

Ascending The Transformative Hills Of Motherhood

Hey Friend,
Have you ever stood at the base of a “hill” in motherhood (or any season of life, for that matter)—exhausted, overwhelmed, unsure if you could make it one more step?
🏔️ You know THOSE HILLS...you've been climbing all day, up and down. You're ready to collapse and you look ahead and see 🏔️ THE BIGGEST HILL YET? 
🙋🏽‍♀️ #MeToo
In this first episode of my Camino Chronicles series, I take you with me to northern Spain—specifically to a rugged, relentless hill that pushed me to my physical and emotional limits. But here’s the twist: this wasn’t just about a steep path through forests and stone. This hill mirrored so many seasons of my life—especially the uphill ones we face as moms, wives, women, and disciples.
You’ll hear the moment I almost quit, the prayer I whispered as I trudged step by step, and the breathtaking view that made it all worth it. You’ll also meet a horse (yes, a horse 🐴), a church bell, and a gentle whisper from the Lord that changed everything.
If you’re walking through a hard stretch right now… if your motherhood feels like one long climb… this one’s for you.
🚫 You don’t have to sprint.🚫 You don’t have to compete.✅ You just need to keep walking—one holy step at a time.
With you on the journey,Misty🔥

What Moms Can Look For In A Mentor and How To Be One with Becky Moyer

Hey Marvelous Mom,🤔 Have you ever wished for someone a few steps ahead of you—a wise voice, a safe place, a mentor?
🤔 Or maybe you’ve looked around your life and thought, Could I actually be that for someone else?
In today’s episode, I’m joined by the witty and wise Becky Moyer—business owner, ministry leader, speaker, and yes, a woman lovingly nicknamed 🌞 “Suzy Sunshine” 🌞 by her daughters. (You’ll find out why!)
Becky and I talk all things mentoring—
how to find one,
how to be one,
and why it matters more than ever in the swirl of motherhood.
We get real about messy houses, spiritual dry spells, women who intimidate us (but who probably need encouragement too), and how you don’t have to be perfect to be present in someone’s life. We laugh, we reflect, we pray—
And we leave you with one beautiful truth: You are not alone, and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.
So pour a cup of coffee, or take us on your Target run, and let’s talk about the power of mentoring—from Mom2Mom.
