Do you long for time to spend with Jesus? Have you found yourself needing a hug from your husband, so you feel wanted? Do you feel guilty wishing there was more to your life than wiping noses and doing dishes? Are you drowning in the responsibilities of just being Mom? Do you wonder why your pre-mom routines are no longer working?

I am so excited that you are here! This podcast will help find peace with the time you do have, start rebuilding routines you need to stay sane, invite you to see yourself how God sees you, and find joy in motherhood.
Hi, I’m Cheryl! Wife, SAHM of two girls, Mom Mentor and Jesus follower. For years, I struggled to fit myself into the same routines, spiritual habits and identity I had as a newly married woman.
I was frustrated, discouraged and depressed when all I felt at the end of the day was worthless because I couldn’t accomplish all the things I used to be able to do.
I finally realized in trying to meet everyone’s needs except my own, I had forgotten who I was and, if I was going to have any joy in motherhood, I had to discover who I had become.
I had to rediscover my identity, prioritize my mental, spiritual, and even physical health so I could be the mom my girls needed.
If you’re ready to ditch the mom guilt for peace, find Jesus in the middle of the dishes, and love yourself like your babies do, this podcast is for you.
Grab your ear pods and start folding laundry, this is Time for Mom.

    86 | SAHM Priorities and the Dreams God Revives
    May 29 2026

    Do you ever feel your self-worth slipping when your SAHM routines leave no room for the dreams you once held, making you wonder if you’ve fallen behind in comparison to everyone else?

    Have you carried quiet mom guilt for shifting your priorities, feeling torn between who you used to be and who motherhood is shaping you into?

    Are you wrestling with the fear that letting go of certain dreams means you’ve failed — instead of trusting that God may be reshaping them into something that honors your season and strengthens your self-esteem?

    If so, you’re in the right place.

    Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom.

    In this episode, I’m sharing how God reshapes the dreams we’ve had to set aside in motherhood so you can release the guilt, honor your season, and find peace in the dreams He’s bringing back to life.

    • Some dreams aren’t dead—just dormant. Motherhood often requires setting aside desires for a season, not forever.

    • God transforms dreams in His timing. What once felt impossible or “over” can be reshaped and revived by Him.

    • Your priorities shift with your season. What was healthy or exciting before kids may not fit the life you’re living now—and that’s okay.

    • Surrender brings peace. When we release our dreams to God, He carries the outcome and breathes life where He chooses.

    • New life comes after obedience. When the season changes, God often brings back dreams in a renewed, healthier form—because you have been transformed too.

    85 | Overwhelmed by Your To-Do List? Part 2: Finding the Solution
    May 27 2026
    Are you trying to manage a home, raise kids, and hold impossible standards all at once — and wondering why your self‑esteem keeps taking the hit? Have you let comparison convince you that your self‑worth is tied to how much you get done instead of who God says you are? Do you ever feel Mom Guilt because your routines don’t match the priorities you wish you had, and you assume every other SAHM is doing it better? If so, you’re in the right place. Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how to stop overloading your to‑do list and start living within your actual capacity so you can protect your time, your energy, and your family. 1. Choose Your Four Priorities and Stick to Them. Pick your top four (God, Family, Health, Home) and let them guide every decision in this season. 2. Set Realistic Daily Expectations. Aim for one pressing task a day. Anything beyond that is a bonus — not a requirement. 3. Delay What Can Wait. Not everything is urgent. If it can be pushed back, let it be pushed back. 4. Remove What No Longer Belongs on Your List. Some tasks need to be paused for a season — or released entirely. 5. Delegate Without Guilt. You’re managing a whole home. Let your husband and kids help, even if it’s messy or imperfect. 6. Pray Over Your To‑Dos. Ask God for wisdom and alignment. Do your priorities first — because if you don’t, you won’t. 7. You’re Human, Not a Machine. You don’t have to do everything all the time. Rest, margin, and breathing room are part of obedience, not failure.

    84 | The Hidden Cost of Compromise - Devotion
    May 22 2026
    Have you gotten so used to comparison or frustration in your SAHM days that you don’t even notice the “slimy places” in your heart until the damage becomes visible? Do you ever feel Mom Guilt because you’ve let unhealthy routines or attitudes linger so long that they feel normal — even though they’re quietly eating away at your self‑worth? Are you carrying habits, excuses, or emotional reactions that are quietly distancing you from God and your family — while your self‑esteem pays the price? If so, you’re in the right place. Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom In this episode, I’m sharing how small compromises slowly shape your heart and home so you can recognize them early and return to God before they take root. 1. Compromise is a slow fade, not a sudden fall. Just like the moldy cups that get dirty over time, spiritual compromise builds gradually through small, overlooked choices until the damage becomes visible. 2. We get used to what is unhealthy when we stop paying attention. Your girls preferred the taste of dirty water because they became accustomed to it — the same way we can get used to toxic habits, attitudes, or sin without realizing how harmful they’ve become. 3. Distance from God, your spouse, and your own emotional health happens one excuse at a time. “It’s just because I’m tired” or “I didn’t mean to” slowly creates separation in your marriage, your walk with God, and your home life. 4. The cost of compromise is long‑term damage that’s hard to undo. By the time we notice what’s happened, relationships, health, and spiritual life may already be suffering — and regaining lost ground takes intentional effort. 5. We need the Holy Spirit to reveal what we can’t see on our own. Just like you don’t notice the mold until you look inside the cup, we often don’t see the “slimy places” in our hearts without conviction and God’s gentle correction. 6. Cleaning your heart is hard work — but it’s holy work. Repentance, humility, and asking forgiveness (even from your kids) is difficult, but it’s the only path to spiritual health and a home that reflects God’s grace. 7. Your kids need to see you repent, not pretend. They learn who God is by watching how you respond to your own sin — with humility, honesty, and a willingness to be washed clean.
