Feeling overwhelmed by the competing demands of motherhood, marriage, and everything else on your plate? You're not alone. This eye-opening episode reveals startling statistics: one in four women experience anxiety or depression while balancing their roles as wives and mothers, with women twice as likely to be diagnosed with anxiety disorders due to this emotional overwhelm.

Beyond the numbers lies a powerful reframing of how we approach "balance" in our lives. Rather than maintaining perfect equilibrium, what if we viewed life more like juggling? Some balls will inevitably drop—the key is recognizing which ones can bounce and which are made of glass. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3:1, we explore how embracing life's seasons gives us permission to focus on what matters most in each chapter of our journey.

The Proverbs 31 woman, often misunderstood as doing it all simultaneously, actually demonstrates this seasonal approach perfectly. Her various accomplishments weren't happening at once but throughout different periods of her life. I share my own painful lesson of trying to maintain a demanding career with a newborn and two other children until the Holy Spirit nudged me to recognize my season had changed.

This episode challenges you to honestly assess what's on your plate right now. Does everything belong there in this current season? Does your work meet "the exchange rate of heaven" as described in 1 Corinthians 3:12-13? Through practical suggestions like drawing out your commitments and prayerfully evaluating each one, you'll discover how to create space for what truly matters. Subscribe now and join our community of women seeking to honor God in every season while finding authentic joy in our divine calling as wives and mothers.
