Welcome back to Intentional Motherhood with your host Kelsey Redd—Former Mental Health Counselor, and Mom of four (including twins!), peaceful parenting coach, and your guide to living a soulful life while raising emotionally healthy kids.

In this heart-to-heart episode, we’re tackling a topic that hits home for every mom: the pressure to sacrifice everything in motherhood. Society tells us that the more we give up, the better mom we are. But what if there’s a better way?

✨ This week, Kelsey shares how to shift from a mindset of constant sacrifice to one of sanctified mothering—a grounded, spiritually aligned approach that honors both your kids and your God-given identity.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

🌿 Why sacrifice is glorified in motherhood—and how it leads to burnout
💡 How to reframe your day to focus on connection instead of depletion
🕊️ 3 practical tools to align your energy with God’s grace, not your own willpower
💬 Simple phrases and spiritual check-ins to bring peace into chaotic moments
💗 How to model emotional regulation and self-worth for your kids
🙏 Why motherhood is a sacred calling you’re not meant to carry alone

Whether you’re deep in the trenches of toddler life or feeling the weight of motherhood on your spirit, this episode will remind you that you don’t have to choose between being a good mom and being a whole woman.

You can love your kids AND yourself. You can pursue your dreams, grow spiritually, and still show up with patience, peace, and purpose.

Perfect for:

• Stay-at-Home Moms seeking balance
• Women craving spiritual alignment in their parenting
• Moms ready to break free from burnout and guilt
• Families building intentional, emotionally connected homes

🎧 Tune in and start mothering from a place of abundance, not exhaustion.
