Hey Mama, have you ever opened your Bible (or tried to start family Bible time) and immediately felt overwhelmed, guilty, or unsure where to even begin? You’re not alone, and there is real hope.

In this encouraging episode, I sit down with Angie Baughman of Steady On. Angie leads a ministry that helps women build consistent Bible study habits with her practical, step-by-step method: a simple way to explore one word in one verse. We talk about helping moms build a consistent Bible study rhythm for themselves and their families, and how this framework can make Bible study feel far less intimidating for both adults and children.

We get honest about common obstacles like busyness, guilt, and not knowing where to start. Angie shares how studying Scripture can shape parenting, deepen family conversations, and help moms and kids recognize God’s presence in everyday life. As she puts it: “The hurry comes from the outside temptation to do more, but God… wants us to sit with him and just listen and receive.”

If you’ve been feeling stuck in the cycle of wanting more time in the Word but never quite getting there, whether for yourself or with your kids, this conversation is for you. You’ll walk away with practical encouragement and a simple starting point that makes consistent Bible time feel doable again.

Grab your coffee (even if it’s cold and reheated) and press play. You’ll finish this episode feeling seen, steadied, and more equipped to sit with God and open His Word with confidence.

Hey Mama,

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, “Who even am I anymore besides Mom?” You’re not alone, and there is real hope.

In this encouraging episode, I sit down with Karissa King of Dear Young Married Couple. Karissa is a licensed marriage and family therapist, co-host of the Dear Young Married Couple podcast, and a wife and mama. We talk about what it looks like to find your identity as a woman in Christ when motherhood has become the loudest (and sometimes only) thing you feel like you are.

We get honest about how easy it is to disappear into the role of mom, how that can quietly feed resentment, burnout, and even anger, and why our deepest identity was never meant to rest on how well our kids are doing or how much they still need us. Karissa shares from her life as a wife, mom, and woman with a calling beyond the home, and how staying rooted in who God says you are makes you a more present wife and mama.

If you’ve been feeling lost in your season, wondering who you are now that your kids don’t need you the same way, or wrestling with guilt for wanting something that is just yours, this conversation is for you. You’ll walk away reminded that you are a daughter of God first and that motherhood is a beautiful calling, not your entire identity.

Grab your coffee (even if it’s cold and reheated) and press play. You’ll finish this episode feeling seen, steadied, and more rooted in who you already are in Christ.

Hey Mama,

This is a special episode. My first book is out on Amazon now!!!

Lord, Why Did You Give Me These Children?! A faith-based approach to overcoming mom anger.

This one is for the mama who’s ever whispered—or shouted—“Lord, why did You give me these children if I can’t take care of them the way I’m supposed to?”

That was my cry after a night I still remember: screaming at my four-year-old through a closed door while nursing my second daughter. I took her to a therapist sure she was the problem. The therapist said the child was normal for her age. I was the one who needed help.

That sentence wrecked me. And it saved me.

This book is not a five-step chart and it is not “just take a breath.” It is the journey the Lord walked me through when willpower failed—shame, triggers, repentance without self-hatred, and how God restores what anger has damaged.

Heart change comes from the Holy Spirit, not a better morning routine.

“For it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.” — Philippians 2:13

Get the book Search Lord, Why Did You Give Me These Children by Natalie Hixson on Amazon, or use this link!

Would you do two things?

1. If this named something you’ve never said out loud, get the book and read it with a pen. Don’t rush it.
2. If the Lord has already begun restoring you, leave an honest Amazon review—not a fluffy one. Other mamas need to know they are not crazy and they are not alone.

Thank you so much for your love, support, and prayers. Enjoy the book!
