Are you looking for your new favorite podcast that's both entertaining and will challenge you in your walk with Jesus? Welcome to the For The Girl podcast, host...
Hey girl, welcome back! We’re so glad you’re here for today’s episode all about stepping into the beautiful and sometimes awkward journey of motherhood. Whether you’re a new mama, dreaming about it someday, or just figuring it all out—we’ve got you.
We’re talking about those early feelings of discomfort and breaking the mold of the stereotypical “mom identity.” We’re getting super honest about those early feelings of hesitation and how our idea of motherhood evolves over time.
We’ll also dive into what it means to parent with intention—how our words, actions, and even our tone shape the little hearts watching us. Through laughter and real talk, we unpack how parenting is actually refining us too. And we wrap things up with some practical ways to stay spiritually grounded, present, and full of grace as we navigate this wild, beautiful calling.

Surviving the Newborn Phase
GIRL, this season is WILD. The newborn phase? Whew. It’s a beautiful, sleep-deprived, joy-filled ride, and we’re here to talk about it ALL. In this episode, we’re getting real about the highs, the lows, and the unexpected surprises of new motherhood and sharing how our pregnancy and newborn experiences were so different. Because let’s be real—every story matters.
Parenthood is a sacrifice, but it’s also a gift. We’re unpacking Luke 14 and what it means to surrender in this season—how the sleepless nights and hard days might just be leading you into something deeper with Jesus.
And let’s talk about asking for help (because we ALL struggle with it). Motherhood isn’t meant to be done alone! We’re sharing how to lean on your people, let go of mom guilt, and create rhythms of peace in the crazy. We’re in this with you, sis.
