    TMV: Episode 45 – Loss and Redemption – Part 2

    Join us today to hear part two of the Loss and Redemption discussion with widow and mother, Brittany Price Brooker. We hear how Brittany’s life has changed since the loss of her husband, and how she now cares for a blended family with kids facing challenges she can’t help with. We discuss why mothers can’t always be everything and the importance of trusting God to cover the things that you aren’t able to. We touch on how you can best support those who are grieving around you; from what to say, to how to handle the awkwardness you might feel when God prompts you to help. We are all gifted with unique gifts, and sharing these gifts in the community of God can have a bigger impact on someone than you know! There is no timeline to grief, and Brittany highlights the importance of asking for help from those around you when you are in a grieving season. Tune in to learn how to help anyone walking in the valley of death.

    Overwhelmed Mom – Part 2 Oct 06, 2021
    Show notes

    TMV: Episode 37 – Overwhelmed Mom – Part 2

    Today, we’re welcoming back the wonderful Sarah Rainer for Part 2 of the Overwhelmed Mom series. Most people cannot anticipate what the experience of having children is going to entail, and the massive change that occurs in our lives when we become a mom can be very difficult. The stress that we may experience as a result of this can cause our bodies to go into “fight or flight” mode; this reaction is helpful in short-term doses, but when it becomes chronic, it can have detrimental effects on our health. That’s why biblically-based self-care practices (and not just “stress Band-Aids” which don’t address the root cause of the problem) are so important, and Sarah has a wealth of knowledge in this realm which can help all of us to manage the stresses that come with balancing being a mom with everything else in our lives.

    Key Points From This Episode:

    • A recap of the eight biblically-based self-care tips from Part 1.
    • Sarah shares some of the common factors which cause stress.
    • What the “fight or flight” response looks like inside our bodies.
    • The negative implications of chronic stress.
    • How a mismatch between our expectations and our reality can affect us.
    • A red flag which signals someone may need professional help.
    • Intimacy; a possible addition to Sarah’s list of self-care tips?
    • The importance of understanding and regulating our own emotions.
    • Practical advice from Sarah about how to be there for our families without becoming overwhelmed.
    • One of the biggest regrets that Sarah has as a mom.
    • Examples of “stress Band-Aids” which don’t get to the root of the problem.
    • The dangers of social media and news sources.
    • Helpful resources for anyone who is struggling with stress.

    TMV: Episode 36 – Overwhelmed Mom – Part 1

    Stress is an inevitable part of this life. As we learn from the Bible, we are not alone in our experiences of stress, and we will only be free from it entirely when we meet our maker in heaven. Being a mom in an individualistic society like ours, with the added financial and social pressures of today, often serves to heighten our levels of stress and this can have detrimental effects on our physical, cognitive, emotional, and spiritual health. However, there are ways in which we can alleviate some of the overwhelming emotions that we are being bombarded by, and today, we are joined by clinical psychologist Sarah Rainer, who is here to share eight very helpful pieces of advice on how we can achieve this. We are not God, we have limits, and we need things like rest, community, and prayer in order to thrive, and in turn, to be able to help our children to thrive!

    Key Points From This Episode:

    • An introduction to today’s guest, clinical psychologist Sarah Rainer.
    • Why stress levels in the United States are so high amongst moms.
    • Sarah explains what happens in our bodies when we experience stress.
    • The difference between chronic and acute stress.
    • Examples of stress which come up in the bible.
    • Signals which indicate that we are experiencing high levels of stress.
    • Two lies that we are constantly being told by society.
    • The importance of setting boundaries and getting enough rest.
    • How to incorporate prayer into your busy mom-life.
    • What science and the bible tell us about community support.
    • Why Sarah recommends learning a new skill as a way to reduce stress.
    • How we should approach feelings of guilt and shame.
    • Dangers of idolizing self-care.
    • The importance of learning to ask for help.
    • Some homework for all our listeners to do.
