The enemy wants you to believe that your motherhood has no purpose.

If he can get you to believe that the work you do day in and day out means nothing, then he can keep you low on the energy spiral and keep you from instilling the love and joy of the Lord into your family.

In this episode, Natalie shares how to work through the lies and beliefs that motherhood has no true purpose. That what you are doing daily adds up to nothing. That is all lies the world and enemy are spreading. Your motherhood is rich with purpose and meaning!

​​Natalie's goal with this episode is to help you discredit the lies and believe that the Lord has a huge purpose for you as a mother. He wants you to see it, live it, and find joy through serving him by serving them.
​
This episode will help you in your motherhood journey as you learn to find purpose in your daily life as a wife and mama!​

Questions Natalie asks in the episode:

Read Romans 12, then answer these questions below.

1. Am I allowing the enemy to steal my joy by believing the lies that my role and job as a mom has no purpose?

2. What am I speaking about my motherhood journey? Write three negative thoughts and replace them with three positive thoughts (look for the opposite of the negative and dig into the word to find these truths - even if you are not believing the at the moment).

3. What would appreciation and being thanked do for you?

4. How do you show appreciation and thanks to your family?

5. Is there a purpose in helping others problem-solve and fix things?

6. What does purpose look like to you? (Maybe think about what you think success looks like to answer this one).

Today, Natalie has the privilege of hosting Martha Metzler.

Martha Metzler, is a licensed psychotherapist, brings over a decade of experience to her private practice in North Carolina. She is a counselor, speaker, member of the Michael Phelps Foundation Advisory Council, and a dedicated advocate for mental health in her community. She loves weaving truth and humor into her ministry of counseling and speaking engagements. Martha lives in North Carolina with her husband and three delightful (sometimes feral) boys.

Natalie and Martha chat about boundaries and how boundaries in life are meant to protect good things! How life comes with friction, its inevitable. Martha describes these moments as “sandpaper moments”. The moments that feel like sandpaper against our spirit. The heart behind this analogy, and her book, is an invitation to shift our mindset away from fear and panic and towards purpose and hope.

They chat about her book which is full of tools and both personal and professional stories. We chat about seeing these hard moments as opportunities for God to smooth our rough edges allows people to experience these gritty moments with hope.

This interview will give you hope, inspiration, great tips, and strategies to help you feel encouraged with both grit and grace through life as a wife and mama!
