Hey, Mama!
I see you. I see the weight you’re carrying—the late nights, the never-ending to-do list, the constant pull between being fully present with your family and running your business. And somewhere in between all that hustle, the anxiety creeps in, whispering lies that you’re not doing enough or that you’re somehow falling short.
Let me pause right here and tell you: you are doing so much, and you are enough. I know it doesn’t always feel that way, especially when anxiety has you feeling like you’re spinning your wheels. But girl, you are showing up in ways that matter, both for your family and for your business. And even in those moments when the overwhelm feels heavy, I want to remind you that you are never alone.
Anxiety can be such a heavy burden, especially for us mama entrepreneurs, can’t it? You have this beautiful vision for your business, this deep love for your family, and yet the weight of it all sometimes feels like too much. The doubts, the fears, the “what-ifs”—they can spiral quickly if we don’t take a moment to breathe and invite God into the struggle.
Today, I want to share a heartfelt conversation with you about how to overcome anxiety with faith as a Christian mompreneur. We’ll talk about how to lean into God’s peace, practical ways to manage the anxiety, and how to create space in your heart for grace when things feel out of control. So, grab your favorite cup of tea (or coffee!), curl up in a cozy spot, and let’s dive in, friend. 💕
Recognizing the Source of Your Anxiety
First, mama, it’s important to recognize that anxiety isn’t something to feel ashamed of. It’s a natural response to the pressures we face, especially as women balancing so many roles. There’s this pressure to “have it all together” at all times, to succeed in your business while also being the best wife, mom, friend, and everything else in between. That pressure can build up, leaving you feeling like you’re walking on a tightrope, constantly afraid of falling.
But here’s what I want you to know: God never intended for you to carry that pressure alone. He knows your heart. He knows the dreams He’s placed in you and the desires you have to make an impact with your business while also loving your family well. And He’s not sitting back, watching you struggle. He’s right there, ready to carry the weight with you if you invite Him in.
Anxiety often creeps in when we try to control everything on our own, doesn’t it? The more we cling to perfection or try to figure it all out without resting in God’s guidance, the more overwhelmed we feel. So today, let’s start by releasing some of that pressure. Let’s recognize that it’s okay to not have all the answers. It’s okay to lean on God and let Him direct your steps.
Leaning Into Faith and Trusting God’s Plan
As a Christian mompreneur, your faith is your greatest asset when it comes to managing anxiety. I know it sounds simple, but in the midst of the chaos, we often forget to pause and remember that God is in control. He has a plan for your life, for your business, and for your family. Even on the days when nothing seems to be going right, His plan is still in motion, and He is working behind the scenes for your good.
When anxiety starts to rise, take a moment to pray. You don’t need fancy words or a perfect setting—just a simple, honest conversation with God. Let Him know how you’re feeling. Pour out your worries, your fears, and your doubts. And then, most importantly, release them to Him. Trust that He is bigger than your challenges and that He cares deeply about every detail of your life.
Here’s a little prayer you can say whenever the anxiety feels overwhelming:
“Lord, I feel anxious right now. The weight of everything I’m carrying feels like too much, and I don’t know what to do next. But I know that You do. I trust that You have a plan for me, for my family, and for my business. Help me to release my need to control every outcome and rest in the peace that only You can give. I know that You are with me in this, and I trust You to guide my steps.”
Practical Steps to Managing Anxiety
While faith is the foundation of overcoming anxiety, there are also some practical steps you can take to manage the day-to-day overwhelm. Here are a few simple strategies that can make a big difference:
1. Create Margin in Your Day
Anxiety loves to thrive in packed schedules. When you’re constantly rushing from one task to the next, it’s hard to find the mental space you need to process your thoughts and emotions. That’s why creating margin in your day is so important.
Start by looking at your calendar and seeing where you can build in some buffer time. Maybe it’s a 10-minute break between meetings, or perhaps you set aside an hour at the end of the day to unwind and reflect. These small moments of rest can help you recharge and reset when anxiety tries to creep in.
2. Set Realistic Expectations
Mama, you are amazing, but you are also human. You cannot do all the things perfectly, all the time. And guess what? That’s okay! It’s important to set realistic expectations for yourself, both in your business and at home.
Take a step back and evaluate what’s truly important. What are the non-negotiables, and what can be adjusted or postponed? Give yourself grace when things don’t go as planned, and remember that progress, not perfection, is the goal.
3. Practice Mindful Breathing
When anxiety hits, your body often reacts before your mind can catch up. Your heart races, your breath quickens, and suddenly, everything feels overwhelming. One of the quickest ways to calm your body and mind is through mindful breathing.
Try this simple technique: Close your eyes, take a deep breath in for four counts, hold it for four counts, and then slowly exhale for four counts. Repeat this a few times, and feel your body start to relax. It’s a simple but powerful way to reset in the moment.
4. Surround Yourself with Support
Anxiety can make you feel isolated, like you’re the only one struggling. But I want to remind you that you are not alone. There are other mompreneurs out there who understand exactly what you’re going through, and it’s so important to surround yourself with people who can lift you up.
Whether it’s through a small group at church, a close circle of friends, or an online community of fellow Christian moms, find your people. Share your struggles with them, and allow them to pray for you and encourage you. We were never meant to do this life alone, and having support makes all the difference.
Finding Peace in God’s Presence
At the end of the day, overcoming anxiety is not about eliminating every stressful situation from your life—it’s about learning to find peace in the midst of the storm. And that peace, mama, comes from knowing that God is with you every step of the way.
When the to-do list feels overwhelming, when you’re questioning if you’re doing enough, or when you’re just plain tired, remind yourself of this truth: God’s got you. He sees your heart, He knows your struggles, and He’s walking this journey with you.
I know the road can feel long and hard some days, but I also know that you are capable, strong, and faithful. You are balancing so much, and you are doing it with grace—even when it doesn’t feel like it. So take a deep breath, hand over your worries to God, and trust that He is guiding your path.
You’ve got this, mama. And more importantly, God’s got you. 💕
With love and encouragement,
Mal 💕
