What if your self value whiling being a mom didn’t depend on how much you got done today?

In this episode of Conquer Mom Stress, Jill Gockel gently challenges the belief so many moms carry—that finding your worth comes from your productivity, performance, and how well you “hold it all together.” If you’re feeling like a failure as a mom on days when the house is messy, the kids are melting down, or your to-do list goes untouched, this episode is for you.

Many moms unknowingly live under a constant performance-based scorecard—a self worth test of how productive, patient, or put-together you were that day. This way of living quietly fuels stress, mom guilt, and mom burnout, especially for an exhausted mom with kids at home and unpredictable days.

Through Scripture and lived experience, this episode redefines self worth meaning that your value is not something that is earned. It will help you to know your worth bible verses like the Prodigal Son remind you of your identity in Christ. Jill explains the importance of self worth rooted not in what you do—but in whose you are.

• What it truly means for knowing your worth as a woman and as a mother

• Why anchoring your identity in God transforms how to be happy as a mom

• The reason being a good mom has nothing to do with perfection—and everything to do with love
