Practically Joyful Mom

Makenzie Tricola

Are you tired, Mama? Tired of feeling like you have to resign yourself to either being a “hot mess mom” who’s drowning in the chaos of motherhood or a “pinterest perfect mom” who looks like she has it all together but is actually miserable on the inside? The world keeps telling us that these are the only options, but that’s a lie. You can get out of victim mode and make changes to bring more joy into your life. And at the same time, you can find freedom in remembering that you can’t control everything and you can stop striving for perfection. I’m Makenzie Tricola and I’d love you to join me every week here on the Practically Joyful podcast to talk about realistic ways to bring more joy to your mom life and how to choose to be joyful even when it feels like the chaos is winning. We’ll talk about intentional parenting, simplicity, faith and following Jesus, connecting with your kids, taking care of yourself and so much more. Welcome in, friend. I'm so glad you're here!

Listen to the last episode:

Have you ever felt like a failure as a mom? Ever felt like all the moms around you have it more figured out than you? It’s easy to lack confidence as moms partly because we put pressure on ourselves to be at the end of our motherhood journey where we’ve already learned all the lessons even when we’re just starting out. Motherhood is a journey and we can have more confidence when we remember that growth, not perfection, is our goal. The journey of motherhood can also feel exhausting when we try to do it alone. But you aren’t alone. There are moms all around you who are in the trenches with you and moms who have gone ahead of you who have learned the lessons you are learning now and are willing to share their wisdom. Most importantly of all, you’re not alone because you can call on the God who created the universe to give you wisdom and rest in the midst of your motherhood journey.
