Are you a mama walking through chronic pain or invisible illness while trying to love your husband and kids well? You’re not alone, and there is real hope.

In this raw and encouraging episode, I sit down with author and disability advocate Sydney Anne Bennett to talk about her journey with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). Just weeks after her honeymoon, Sydney’s life changed dramatically as she began experiencing daily seizures, chronic pain, and mobility challenges while stepping into motherhood.

Sydney shares honestly about how chronic pain affects emotional processing in marriage and with her kids, the guilt and grief that come with it, and what it looks like to keep showing up as a wife and mom even when your body won’t cooperate. We talk about releasing mom guilt, redefining “good motherhood,” and holding onto faith when life feels broken.

If you battle invisible illness, chronic pain, fear, or feel alone in your suffering, this episode is for you. You’ll walk away with practical hope and biblical truth that points you toward real restoration.

Grab your coffee (even if it’s cold and reheated) and press play. You’ll finish this episode feeling encouraged and less alone.

Hey Mama!

Have you ever felt disconnected from your child because of past mom rage? You’re not alone. In this encouraging solo episode, Healing the Bond Mom Rage Broke With Your Child, we’re diving into how to rebuild that precious mother-child relationship through prayer, humility, repentance, and the grace of Jesus.

A mom recently shared: “Sometimes, because of the mom rage I’ve felt with my daughter, I don’t feel as connected with her. I’d love any recommendations on how to foster our relationship so as she gets older, we’re both not feeling that.” If this resonates with you, this episode is for you.

We talk about starting with prayer to heal hearts first, the important mindset shift from forcing friendship to modeling Jesus, practical ways to reconnect at every age, and how to repair quickly after blow-ups. You’ll walk away with real hope, biblical truth, and simple next steps to restore connection.

Grab your coffee and press play—you’ll finish this episode feeling encouraged, equipped, and ready to take one small step toward healing.

You’ll hear Biblical examples, real-life honesty about interruptions, exhaustion, and training little sinful hearts, plus the beautiful truth that we love God by loving and serving our families.

Grab your coffee (cold and reheated counts) and press play, you’ll finish this episode feeling encouraged, refreshed, and more surrendered to the Lord.

Hey, Mama, in today's episode, we’re talking with Dr. Corey Allan from Sexy Marriage Radio to dive into healing communication in marriage. As Christian moms, we often juggle so much that our conversations with our husbands can feel broken or strained—but simple, intentional steps can restore connection and bring peace back into your home.

Join Dr. Corey Allan and Natalie as they explore practical tools for healing communication, drawing from Corey's expertise as a Marriage and Family Therapist, his Ph.D. in Family Therapy, and his real-life insights from hosting Sexy Marriage Radio with his wife Pam.

Corey opens up about how marriage is more about building character and wisdom than just chasing happiness—love is a process that sparks action, and communication is the key to growing deeper spiritually, keeping it simple, staying passionate, living in community, and truly enjoying the ride. Through heartfelt stories, Scripture, and actionable advice, he reveals how healing your communication can dissolve resentment, deepen intimacy, and invite God’s transformative power into your relationship.

Listen along as you discover the beauty of choosing better conversations with your husband, freeing yourself from overwhelm and embracing a marriage rooted in faith and fun. God’s love and grace are ready to work miracles in your heart and home—you don’t have to do it alone.

Corey is a husband, father, author, speaker, and Marriage and Family Therapist with a Ph.D. in Family Therapy. He and his wife Pam host the weekly podcast Sexy Marriage Radio, where they help couples frame conversations and actions to create a marriage fully alive. Corey founded SMR (smr.fm), an online resource aimed at helping marriages not just survive, but thrive. Pam is a CPA at a small firm in Frisco, TX, and co-hosts with Corey.
