Your Mosaic Mom Life

How can you rediscover who you are when your life looks completely different than it did before kids? Could the experiences you're already having reveal something important about how God created you? What if AI could help you recognize strengths and gifts you've been overlooking? AI can be more than a tool for getting things done. It can also help you recognize strengths and gifts you've been over...

Have you ever wondered whether that thing you’ve wanted for YEARS is still worth holding onto—or whether it’s time to let it go? What if you don’t have to make your dream happen RIGHT NOW to stop burying it under the demands of motherhood? We as stay-at-home moms often tend to put our own d...

Do you feel like you need to figure out WHAT’S NEXT before you can start finding yourself again? Wondering if trying something new means committing to a new hobby, purpose, or plan? Afraid that if you start something and then quit, you’ve wasted your time – or somehow failed? What if you could simply get curious, experiment, and see what you learn about yourself? What if learning something about y...

Worried that doing something you love will just become one more thing draining your already-limited energy? In this episode, we’re diving into that fea...

I don’t have TIME to rediscover my identity as a stay-at-home mom. I’m SWAMPED as it is! Oh, believe me, mama. I get it.  Life as a stay-at-home moms is busy. MORE than busy.  But, what if you don’t ACTUALLY need more time in order to reclaim those pieces of yourself that you’ve been missing lately? What if you just need a PLAN, some guidance, and a willingness to experiment?  In this week’s episo...

Do you ever find yourself thinking, “I don't even know WHAT I’m good at anymore”? You remember the days when you were super confident of your talents and abilities, but now – after years at home with your kiddos – you’re not quite so sure anymore.    If that sounds like you, you’re not alone. That sentiment is one I hear over and over again from stay-at-home moms.   So, today, we’re going to walk...

Did you have dreams for your life before you became a stay-at-home mom—but somewhere along the way, you put them on hold? Do you ever wonder what happened to the woman who used to have goals, dreams, and things she couldn’t wait to try? Feel like you’re so focused on taking care of everyone else that you don’t even know what YOU want anymore? What if that dream you tucked away years ago isn’t gone...

Have you ever had one of those days where you feel like an utter failure as a stay-at-home mom?    ✅ You forgot to defrost the chicken for dinner, so you end up eating out... again... and completely blowing the budget you worked so hard to make zero out.   ✅ You yelled at your kids because you had to tell them a fourteenth time to get their dirty socks out from under the bed.    ✅ You finally g...

Do you ever catch yourself daydreaming about all the things you’d like to do once your kids are a little older? Maybe you’re thinking about going back to work, starting a career, learning something new, or maybe just figuring out who you are outside of motherhood.   But then you look at your kids and think, I should just be enjoying this. These years are going so fast. Why can't I just be present?...

Have you ever felt like God is asking you to do something that is just too BIG for you to handle?    If you have, you’re going to resonate with this week’s episode, which is a devotional for stay-at-home moms, just like you, all about Gideon and his introduction to God’s call on his life.    Did you know HE responded to God in much the same ways WE tend to react when God throws something new at us...

Do you ever feel stagnant or stuck in your life as a stay-at-home mom?  Like your life has been put on hold while you’re busy raising your kiddos?  Do you wish God would show up and tell you exactly what He wants you to know right then?    Yep, same, mama!    And the encouraging thing is… HE DOES!    God shows up for us SAHMs every single day and tells us what He wants us to know in the midst of o...

Have you ever felt guilty for taking a nap? Not guilty because you feel like you’re being lazy. But, “Mom guilty.” The kind where you're completely exhausted, you know you need to rest, but the second your head hits the pillow, your brain starts screaming at you...   📢 "You should be cleaning!" 📢 "You should be playing with the kids!" 📢 "A good mom wouldn't need a break!"   Mama, if you've ever...

Have you ever felt like you have to be good at all the domestic things to be a good SAHM? Like you’re not allowed to be bad at anything home- or kid-related or that makes you a bad mom? That you’re failing as a mom if you can’t do ALL THE THINGS well? Same, mama. Same! But, it’s a lie. It’s a lie straight from the pits of hell. And today, we’re talking about WHY that lie is so detrimental for moms...

“Laura, I don’t want to hear anymore about personality types. I don’t want to be put in a box!!”   Yep, I’ve heard that sentiment quite a bit over the past 20 years as a Certified Personality Trainer.    My usual response is “I don’t like being put in a box, either! Which is why I love so many different typing systems. No one profile or assessment will ever tell us everything there is to know abou...

Do you feel like your marriage is a constant battle against personality differences? Like you’re just TOO different to really have a strong marriage?    I promise, mama: nothing could be further from the truth!   Personality differences don’t have to be the detriment they’re often made out to be. Instead, with some understanding and willingness to adjust to each other, those same personality diffe...

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought: "I don't even know who I am anymore." Not because you don't know your name. Not because you've forgotten your favorite color. But because so much of your life revolves around meeting everyone else's needs that you don’t even remember what makes YOU come alive. Today I want to challenge a thought that many of us carry around, but few of us voice: What...

Have you ever looked at the people around you and thought, “What is wrong with me? I don’t seem to think or act anything like these people…”   Or, if you’re more honest, have you ever thought, “What’s wrong with THEM?! Why can’t they just do things like I do??” We all do it, so we might as well be honest about it!   God just made us all to think and act differently. But, there tend to be some simi...

Have you ever been aggravated with yourself that you can’t seem to follow thru on all those great ideas you have? New recipes you want to try, activities you want to do with the kids, trips you want to take for summer vacation… ALL the ideas, but very few of them ever actually come to fruition?   Or do you ever feel like you SHOULD be able to come up with great, creative ideas for your kids, but y...

Have you ever thought about what your NAME says about you? Does the meaning of your name ring true for who you believe yourself to be? Or does it feel like it doesn’t fit at all?  This week, we’re diving into a slightly different aspect of Your Mosaic Mom Life – your name, and specifically your God-given name, not just your birth name. It’s gonna be good, so let’s do this!   Links & Resources...

Do you feel like God is nudging you to do something, but you’re not entirely sure what?  Are you battling insecurity and doubts that you can actually DO whatever it is you’re feeling called to do?  Has being a SAHM had your confidence taking a hit?  If so, this episode is for you because this whole Mosaic Mom Life thing has one key ingredient that we stay-at-home moms tend to struggle with: CONFID...

After a 7-month break from the podcast, I’m finally back — and today, I’m sharing what this season away taught me about motherhood, identity, purpose, and Your Mosaic Mom Life. But even more importantly, I’m sharing the three deep struggles I keep hearing from stay-at-home moms over and over again: ✨ “I don’t even know who I am anymore.” ✨ “I miss feeling like myself.” ✨ “I just want to feel li...

I can’t tell you the number of times a mom has told me, “I just feel invisible, like nothing I do outside of taking care of our home and our kids actually matters. I’m not good at ANYTHING anymore.”   And doesn’t it often feel like that? In the midst of changing diapers, driving kids hither and yon, and making sure everyone is fed and has clean clothes to wear, we tend to lose sight of ourselves. ...

If you're listening to this podcast, chances are you're at least somewhat thinking about what your life would or could look like when you inevitably return to the working world after being a stay-at-home mom for a while. And returning to work usually requires that you create a resume. If you're like most SAHMs, it's that creating-a-resume piece that is absolutely terrifying. HOW do you write a sta...
