The Worthy Wife|Accepted,Self-confidence,Empty Nester,Marriage,Eggshells

What would life be like if you had the confidence to be yourself? What if you had the courage to speak up without the fear of rejection or feeling like you're disappointing others? How great would it be to stop trying to please others or living under the pressure to “perform” to feel accepted ? . Hey, I’m Carrie. Certified Life Coach, wife, and mom. This podcast is where I help wives like you learn how to build self-confidence, and acceptance of who you truly are through biblical truths and by managing your mind and your emotions. You’ll discover how to stop people-pleasing, stop carrying emotional burdens that are not yours to carry , and step boldly into the role God has given you as a wife, mom, and empty nester. For years, I tried to keep everyone else happy. I ignored my own desires and stayed small thinking that my worth was tied to how well I pleased others. But here’s the truth: it was exhausting and it didn’t work. I was believing a lie. Our worth is rooted in Christ—not in your husband’s emotions, your children’s choices, or your ability to fulfill anyone else’s expectations. If you are feeling stuck or are longing for connection in a difficult marriage; if you want to reclaim your God-given identity so that you can walk in peace without losing yourself, grab yourself some earbuds and settle in because I am going to cover all of this and so much more!

In this episode, I share how Christian wives can finally experience the peaceful, joyful Christmas they’ve been longing for — not the one tradition and family expectations demand. I talk about why Christmas feels heavy, how our thoughts shape our experience, and why you’re allowed to redefine what the holidays look like in your home.

Resources & Next Steps:

In today’s episode, I share how I spent years misusing Scripture and shrinking myself inside my marriage—all because of the messages Christian women were taught 35 years ago about obedience, submission, and “being a good wife.” I talk through how Romans 14:12 opened my eyes to biblical autonomy and how stepping into Spirit-led adulthood changed everything for my marriage and my walk with God.
