Description

Find joy, peace, and purpose amidst the chaos. Break the burnout! Are you an overwhelmed mom just trying to survive the day until bedtime… again? Do you feel like you’re running on empty—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually—while trying to juggle kids, marriage, faith, and a never-ending to-do list? Maybe connecting with your husband feels impossible because you’re just too exhausted and burnt out. Mama, you’re not alone—and it doesn’t have to stay this way.

Welcome to Restored Mama—a faith-filled podcast created for moms who are craving more peace, joy, and purpose in the middle of real, messy motherhood. Whether you’re drowning in laundry, navigating tantrums, or feeling distant from God (and your spouse), this podcast will help you trade survival mode for intentional, Christ-centered living.

I’m Jen—wife, mama, former single mom, stepmom, and daughter of the King. I know what it’s like to feel completely drained and unsure of how to keep going. But through God’s grace, simple structure, and a whole lot of restoration, I found a way to rebuild my home and my heart—with Jesus at the center. Now, I’m here to help you do the same.

Each week on Restored Mama, you’ll find:

Biblical encouragement to ground your heart and mind

Simple habits and practical tools to create peace in your home

Christ-centered routines and mindset shifts for everyday mom life

Real talk about marriage, motherhood, burnout, and balance

A supportive, honest space for moms who love Jesus but need rest

You’ll learn how to prioritize what matters most, go to bed feeling accomplished (instead of defeated), and wake up excited for the day ahead—even in the chaos. You’ll rediscover passion in your marriage, connection with your kids, and purpose in your motherhood, all while growing in your faith.

So grab that reheated coffee, take a deep breath, and let’s start this journey together. Because restoration is possible—for you, your home, your heart, and your family.

God doesn’t just restore—He makes things better than they were before.
