Ep. 362 — When Mom Feels Overwhelmed: Editing Life with Godly Intention with Jamie Erickson

If motherhood has ever felt like too much—too busy, too heavy, too lonely—you are not alone. And more importantly, you were never meant to carry it all by yourself.  In this weekend edition of Raising Godly Girls, host Melissa Bearden invites you into a deeply encouraging and honest conversation about the reality so many moms are quietly facing: overwhelm. With cultural pressures mounting and expectations soaring, today's mothers are navigating exhaustion, isolation, and the constant feeling of falling short. But what if there was a better way? A more intentional, peaceful, and joy-filled rhythm rooted in Christ?  Melissa sits down with author, speaker, and podcast host Jamie Erickson, a trusted voice for Christian moms who long to step out of survival mode and into purposeful living. Drawing from her newest book, Overwhelmed Mom, Jamie shares practical, grace-filled wisdom to help you "edit your life with intention," rediscover your calling at home, and build rhythms that bring delight instead of drudgery.  Together, they unpack the cultural forces driving burnout, the spiritual toll of chronic stress, and the quiet comparison traps that steal our joy. More importantly, they point you back to truth—reminding you that your motherhood matters, your presence is powerful, and your peace is possible through Christ.  <span class="NormalTextRun SCXW30125506 BCX0" da
