Feeling like you're never doing enough as a Christian mom and entrepreneur is something many faith-led women quietly carry every single day.

You move through your day trying to keep up with the house, the kids, your business, your faith, and the constant list running in the back of your mind — and yet, no matter how much you do, you still end the day feeling a little behind.

In this episode of the Sustainable Foundations Podcast, Ashleigh helps you uncover where that pressure is really coming from and why it's not a time management problem at all.

You'll discover:

• Why you feel like you're constantly falling short, even on productive days

• The invisible "scorecards" you've been trying to pass without realizing it

• The powerful question God asks in Book of Genesis that changes everything: "Who told you that?"

• How living in today's world mirrors what God's people experienced in Babylon

• Why Christian women in business often measure success the world's way without noticing

• What God's way of measuring a day actually looks like

• A simple awareness exercise to help you notice the pressure you've been carrying

By the end of this episode, you won't just feel seen — you'll begin to recognize the invisible expectations shaping your days and understand why this pressure has felt so normal for so long.

This is the second conversation in a series that will help you see where these expectations came from — and prepare you for how to begin laying them down.

🎧 Press play and simply start noticing.

Feeling behind as a Christian mom is something many faith-led business owners quietly carry every single day. You're moving all day long — helping, working, responding, trying — and yet the to-do list never feels smaller. In fact, it often feels like it's growing.

In this episode of Sustainable Foundations Podcast, Ashleigh walks through why this constant feeling of being behind has less to do with time management and more to do with invisible expectations you've been trying to live up to without realizing it.

You'll discover:

• Why planners, routines, and productivity tips haven't solved this feeling

• How "behind" is often tied to standards you never consciously chose

• The subtle pressure Christian moms in business carry every day

• A simple exercise to make those invisible expectations visible

• How this connects to the story of Mary and Martha in Gospel of Luke 10:38–42

By the end of this episode, you won't just feel understood — you'll have a piece of paper in front of you that reveals the real source of the pressure you've been carrying.

This is the first conversation in a series that will help you see why this feeling has followed you through every season of motherhood and business — and what to do next.

🎧 Press play and grab a piece of paper.

There's a kind of overwhelm that doesn't come from chaos.

It comes from carrying everything at the same time.

The house.
The kids.
The business.
The mental list that never fully turns off.

And the quiet thought you carry all day is: "I can't drop anything… so how do I stop feeling like this?"

In this episode of the Sustainable Foundations Podcast, we're talking about what overwhelm actually feels like for Christian moms running businesses — and why the solution is not doing less, but learning how to carry what you're already doing differently.

You'll learn the three simple shifts that completely changed the way I experience my days:

• How to stop treating everything like it's top priority

• How to plan from honest capacity instead of imaginary capacity

• How to get the mental load out of your head and into simple systems

Because overwhelm isn't a volume problem. It's a weight distribution problem.

And when you redistribute the weight, the exhale finally comes — without dropping the responsibilities that matter most to you.

• Why overwhelm often shows up as stalling, scrolling, and zoning out

• The reason everything feels equally urgent in your mind

• How to determine what is primary, supportive, and maintenance in your current season

• How motherhood seasons change your capacity (and why that matters for your plans)

• The role simple weekly rhythms and visual systems play in reducing mental load

• One practical action you can take today to immediately feel lighter

Grab a piece of paper and write down everything currently living in your head. Then decide:

• What actually needs your attention today?

• What can have a place later this week?

• What doesn't need to be carried right now?

You're not making a to-do list.
You're giving your brain permission to set some of it down.
