EPISODES
Gracefully Unraveled is a podcast for thoughtful Christian and spiritually curious moms who feel quietly lost in motherhood and wonder, “Who am I now?”. Here you’ll find honest, faith‑friendly conversations about the inner life of motherhood—identity, emotions, and the pressure to be a “good mom”—not more parenting hacks or hustle culture.
Each episode captures a lived moment from real mom life and turns it into a gentle, research‑backed reflection, bridging psychology and neuroscience with faith so you can actually see what’s happening inside you, not just push through it. We talk about losing yourself in motherhood, mom mental load and burnout, guilt, shame, anger, loneliness, spiritual dryness, and the default‑parent weight so many women carry.
If you’ve ever looked “fine” on the outside but felt disoriented on the inside, these conversations will give you language for your experience, permission to feel what you feel, and a kinder way to untangle ego from identity—without shame, force, or spiritual performance.
Stream @GracefullyUnraveledPodcast on the go, on all major platforms—or begin right here with episodes on identity loss, mental load, and faith in the messy middle of modern motherhood.

Episode 1: Losing Yourself in Motherhood: Ego, Identity and the Search for ‘Who Am I?’
Before motherhood, I had a life. I had identity. A college degree, a career, marriage, a house, and disposable income. It all looked pretty shiny. But when we began talking about having kids…
