Christian Motherhood Unfiltered with Emma Grace

What the Lord Taught Me in 2025 (& Where We’re Headed in 2026)

In this first episode back, I’m reflecting on 2025 and the lessons God taught me through rest, obedience, and surrender. I’m also sharing what I’m praying and planning for 2026. My hope is that this episode helps you enter the new year with clarity, peace, and confidence in the Lord.

Here’s How We’re Finishing 2025 Well (It’s Time for a Break)

This episode is a little different… but it’s exactly what my heart needed to record. As we head into Advent and the final stretch of 2025, I’m choosing to slow down, rest well, and make room for Jesus — and that means taking a short break from the podcast for the month of December.
In today’s conversation, I’m sharing the why behind the pause, the pace my soul has been craving, and how I’m preparing for a quieter, more intentional Advent this year. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, or tired of sprinting through December, I hope this episode feels like permission to breathe.

You’re Being Lied To: The Subtle Lies Shaping Our Lives (with Erica Gwynn)

In today’s episode, I’m joined by my very first podcast guest, Erica Gwynn, author of That’s Just Not True. We’re talking about the sneaky lies so many moms believe without even realizing it — the lies that tell us we have to lose ourselves, shrink our calling, or drown quietly in motherhood because “that’s just how it is.”
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unseen, or like you’re failing at motherhood… this conversation will breathe fresh life into you. You’ll walk away encouraged, grounded in truth, and reminded that God did NOT ask you to disappear in this season — He called you to live it with purpose.

Complaining Is Killing Your Joy — Here’s How to Get It Back

It feels harmless, but the truth is… complaining is quietly stealing our joy and peace. In this episode, we’re talking about why we complain, what it’s really doing to our hearts, and how to stop — not by pretending everything’s fine, but by shifting our focus toward gratitude and contentment.
 
At the end of this week, I’m kicking off No Complain November — a challenge to stop grumbling and start practicing daily thanksgiving. I’ll be doing it right alongside you, and I’m already expecting it to challenge me. But I truly believe that when we change our words, we change our hearts.
Make sure you follow my Instagram to get daily encouragement as we walk through this challenge together!
