Hi beautiful mama!
I'm back!
Sometimes the break is where the breakthrough begins. In this episode, I’m sharing how God used a season of rest, pause, and peace to bring deep renewal and fresh purpose to my life, family, and the Restored Mama ministry. You’ll get an inside look at what’s been happening behind the scenes, what God has been teaching me about trust, restoration, and alignment, and what’s next for this new season of growth.
If you’ve been craving rest, seeking peace in the chaos, or waiting on your own breakthrough, this episode will encourage you to trust God’s timing and find hope in the in-between. Because He’s not just working around you — He’s restoring you.

00:02:37,557.99319728 I am just happy to be back. 34 00:02:37,557.99319728 --> 00:02:38,487.99319728 It feels so good. 35 00:02:38,697.99319728 --> 00:02:53,787.99319728 Like many of you, I had hit a point where I was just doing too much for the season that I was in, and as I've talked about in the past, each season, it's really important to reevaluate your priorities, reevaluate where you're at, and it was all good. 36 00:02:53,937.99319728 --> 00:03:02,7.99319728 Everything that I was doing was good, but it was a lot, especially considering that I was about to add two new humans into my family. 37 00:03:02,967.99319728 --> 00:03:03,477.99319728 So. 38 00:03:04,482.99319728 --> 00:03:09,12.99319728 That kinda leads me into the next thing why I actually paused. 39 00:03:09,192.99319728 --> 00:03:09,792.99319728 I didn't stop. 40 00:03:09,792.99319728 --> 00:03:19,452.99319728 I just paused, but I went into the hospital a month before the twins were born actually, and they were born early too. 41 00:03:19,512.99319728 --> 00:03:21,432.99319728 So I was in the hospital for a month. 42 00:03:21,432.99319728 --> 00:03:30,252.99319728 I had preeclampsia and cholestasis that preeclampsia is kind of a commonly known thing with pregnancy, but cholestasis was. 43 00:03:30,627.99319728 --> 00:03:33,27.99319728 Well, that was new to me, so it might be new to you too. 44 00:03:33,777.99319728 --> 00:03:45,447.99319728 Basically, my, my, um, liver and my gallbladder, all the things, they couldn't process the bile, so all of the bile in my body was going into my bloodstream. 45 00:03:45,777.99319728 --> 00:03:46,737.99319728 It was not good. 46 00:03:47,127.99319728 --> 00:03:50,577.99319728 My body just was kind of done, unfortunately. 47 00:03:51,897.99319728 --> 00:03:53,937.99319728 I had something. 48 00:03:54,357.99319728 --> 00:04:01,257.99319728 Absolutely wonderful take place in my life during that season, and I grew closer to God and I learned so much more about him. 49 00:04:01,677.99319728 --> 00:04:04,857.99319728 I gained two new, beautiful little boys into my family. 50 00:04:05,262.99319728 --> 00:04:13,122.99319728 And they're healthy and for being born so early, they were the healthiest that they could have been. 51 00:04:13,182.99319728 --> 00:04:16,152.99319728 So, they were born at 32 weeks. 52 00:04:16,532.99319728 --> 00:04:21,152.99319728 I was in the hospital for a month and then the boys were in the NICU for five and a half weeks. 53 00:04:21,242.99319728 --> 00:04:25,742.99319728 So it was like three months worth of living in the hospital basically. 54 00:04:26,372.99319728 --> 00:04:31,797.99319728 My other kids were really struggling, not seeing me all the time, you know, 'cause they were used to me being there. 55 00:04:32,582.99319728 --> 00:04:35,402.99319728 All day, every day, and they didn't get that. 56 00:04:35,402.99319728 --> 00:04:39,512.99319728 So it was just a really hard season on our whole family. 57 00:04:39,752.99319728 --> 00:04:46,562.99319728 My husband had to do two jobs, basically, like he had to support our family and then take care of the things that I was taking care of at home. 58 00:04:46,922.99319728 --> 00:04:49,52.99319728 My mom pitched in and then seeing 'em out. 59 00:04:49,52.99319728 --> 00:04:53,702.99319728 The kids actually stayed with her for quite a while and it was fun for them, but it was still really tough. 60 00:04:53,762.99319728 --> 00:04:54,152.99319728 So. 61 00:04:54,752.99319728 --> 00:04:55,382.99319728 Anyways. 62 00:04:55,742.99319728 --> 00:04:59,312.99319728 Long story short, twins were born at 32 weeks, super healthy. 63 00:04:59,372.99319728 --> 00:05:00,932.99319728 Needed a little bit of breathing help. 64 00:05:01,502.99319728 --> 00:05:06,92.99319728 One of them needed a chest tube because he had a hole in his left lung, and it healed totally fine. 65 00:05:06,122.99319728 --> 00:05:15,632.99319728 It healed all on its own, but I just needed a little help to drain all the fluid while it healed five and a half weeks later, they were feeding perfectly. 66 00:05:15,632.99319728 --> 00:05:19,322.99319728 They were healthy, keeping their weight up, keeping their bodies warm. 67 00:05:19,592.99319728 --> 00:05:22,52.99319728 We got to go home and we started on our new normal. 68 00:05:22,532.99319728 --> 00:05:22,952.99319728 Well. 69 00:05:23,732.99319728 --> 00:05:29,852.99319728 That led into a very extremely busy season, but also a season where I just needed to focus on my family. 70 00:05:31,112.99319728 --> 00:05:34,112.99319728 And I said that and it made me think of Dr. 71 00:05:34,112.99319728 --> 00:05:34,862.99319728 James Dobson. 72 00:05:34,862.99319728 --> 00:05:37,112.99319728 I don't know if any of you are familiar with that. 73 00:05:37,112.99319728 --> 00:05:38,792.99319728 We listen to Adventures and Odyssey all the time. 74 00:05:38,882.99319728 --> 00:05:39,542.99319728 Side note. 75 00:05:39,692.99319728 --> 00:05:43,52.99319728 But, um, I really had to focus on my family during this season. 76 00:05:43,52.99319728 --> 00:05:46,142.99319728 They lost so much time with me and it really affected them. 77 00:05:47,357.99319728 --> 00:05:56,747.99319728 So I just focused on where we were at and really devoting my time to them, my husband, my kids, and getting our new normal with the twins. 78 00:05:57,377.99319728 --> 00:05:59,147.99319728 So that has been the past year. 79 00:05:59,687.99319728 --> 00:06:02,237.99319728 And now fast forward, here we are. 80 00:06:02,657.99319728 --> 00:06:04,937.99319728 I have updated everything on the back end. 81 00:06:04,937.99319728 --> 00:06:09,257.99319728 So Restored Mama is the same restored mama, but it's still new. 82 00:06:09,257.99319728 --> 00:06:09,977.99319728 It has. 83 00:06:10,352.99319728 --> 00:06:35,462.99319728 All of the aspects that God told me restored mama needed to have, but it's fresh and alive with new purpose and even a new vision God gave me during the season because even though I wasn't physically here on the computer, in front of the mic recording, I was praying over it and really thinking about it, and I thought about it every single day. 84 00:06:36,377.99319728 --> 00:06:38,537.99319728 And I prayed through it every time I was in prayer. 85 00:06:38,867.99319728 --> 00:06:44,237.99319728 Okay, God, where are you leading me next? What's happening with Restored Mama? I know you told me to do this. 86 00:06:44,237.99319728 --> 00:06:50,357.99319728 I know I'm not supposed to stop, so what's next? And he really showed me so many things. 87 00:06:50,507.99319728 --> 00:06:52,457.99319728 And so here we are. 88 00:06:52,817.99319728 --> 00:06:53,387.99319728 We're here. 89 00:06:53,477.99319728 --> 00:06:54,437.99319728 It's happening. 90 00:06:54,497.99319728 --> 00:06:55,787.99319728 Oh, I'm so excited. 91 00:06:57,17.99319728 --> 00:06:58,217.99319728 Okay, so. 92 00:06:59,702.99319728 --> 00:07:01,622.99319728 That kinda catches you all up. 93 00:07:01,922.99319728 --> 00:07:08,162.99319728 And as more episodes come out, I'll give you more details through things, but I don't wanna take a whole episode talking about it all. 94 00:07:08,242.99319728 --> 00:07:12,592.99319728 so here I am and I'll update you as things. 95 00:07:12,907.99319728 --> 00:07:16,777.99319728 Come up and as time goes, you'll hear more and more about the past year. 96 00:07:17,167.99319728 --> 00:07:18,397.99319728 But that's the basics of it. 97 00:07:18,457.99319728 --> 00:07:19,387.99319728 That's the gist of it. 98 00:07:20,17.99319728 --> 00:07:24,877.99319728 But God made it clear that I needed to slow down and refocus over this past year. 99 00:07:25,57.99319728 --> 00:07:27,577.99319728 My family needed me. 100 00:07:28,207.99319728 --> 00:07:34,257.99319728 It wasn't an easy decision, but he really used that time to remind me that restoration starts in the quiet. 101 00:07:34,317.99319728 --> 00:07:43,527.99319728 And even though I now have, you know, seven kids, two, the older girls are in college, they're not here at the house, but I homeschool. 102 00:07:44,7.99319728 --> 00:07:45,687.99319728 I've got almost a teenager. 103 00:07:45,687.99319728 --> 00:07:48,477.99319728 She'll be a teenager and one more week, my goodness. 104 00:07:48,867.99319728 --> 00:07:50,427.99319728 And I have. 105 00:07:51,207.99319728 --> 00:07:53,847.99319728 Four boys four years and under. 106 00:07:53,997.99319728 --> 00:08:02,517.99319728 So it's not that my house is quiet, and we'll talk a lot more about this as we dive into rest and peace in the coming episodes. 107 00:08:02,517.99319728 --> 00:08:04,887.99319728 But my family's not quiet. 108 00:08:04,887.99319728 --> 00:08:06,237.99319728 My home is not quiet. 109 00:08:06,297.99319728 --> 00:08:07,617.99319728 I have lots of boys. 110 00:08:07,707.99319728 --> 00:08:11,547.99319728 They are loud and rambunctious and so fun. 111 00:08:12,327.99319728 --> 00:08:13,257.99319728 But I still. 112 00:08:13,677.99319728 --> 00:08:18,807.99319728 Found quiet, and that is where restoration really starts. 113 00:08:18,807.99319728 --> 00:08:22,617.99319728 And God did a whole lot of restoring in my soul over the past year. 114 00:08:23,967.99319728 --> 00:08:27,327.99319728 I spent a lot of time in prayer and I focused on my home. 115 00:08:27,327.99319728 --> 00:08:35,337.99319728 I let God rebuild some things in me that I had been too busy to focus on, and I didn't notice that they were breaking in me. 116 00:08:35,337.99319728 --> 00:08:38,577.99319728 They were breaking in my family and in my kids, and

00:02:37,557.99319728 I am just happy to be back. 34 00:02:37,557.99319728 --> 00:02:38,487.99319728 It feels so good. 35 00:02:38,697.99319728 --> 00:02:53,787.99319728 Like many of you, I had hit a point where I was just doing too much for the season that I was in, and as I've talked about in the past, each season, it's really important to reevaluate your priorities, reevaluate where you're at, and it was all good. 36 00:02:53,937.99319728 --> 00:03:02,7.99319728 Everything that I was doing was good, but it was a lot, especially considering that I was about to add two new humans into my family. 37 00:03:02,967.99319728 --> 00:03:03,477.99319728 So. 38 00:03:04,482.99319728 --> 00:03:09,12.99319728 That kinda leads me into the next thing why I actually paused. 39 00:03:09,192.99319728 --> 00:03:09,792.99319728 I didn't stop. 40 00:03:09,792.99319728 --> 00:03:19,452.99319728 I just paused, but I went into the hospital a month before the twins were born actually, and they were born early too. 41 00:03:19,512.99319728 --> 00:03:21,432.99319728 So I was in the hospital for a month. 42 00:03:21,432.99319728 --> 00:03:30,252.99319728 I had preeclampsia and cholestasis that preeclampsia is kind of a commonly known thing with pregnancy, but cholestasis was. 43 00:03:30,627.99319728 --> 00:03:33,27.99319728 Well, that was new to me, so it might be new to you too. 44 00:03:33,777.99319728 --> 00:03:45,447.99319728 Basically, my, my, um, liver and my gallbladder, all the things, they couldn't process the bile, so all of the bile in my body was going into my bloodstream. 45 00:03:45,777.99319728 --> 00:03:46,737.99319728 It was not good. 46 00:03:47,127.99319728 --> 00:03:50,577.99319728 My body just was kind of done, unfortunately. 47 00:03:51,897.99319728 --> 00:03:53,937.99319728 I had something. 48 00:03:54,357.99319728 --> 00:04:01,257.99319728 Absolutely wonderful take place in my life during that season, and I grew closer to God and I learned so much more about him. 49 00:04:01,677.99319728 --> 00:04:04,857.99319728 I gained two new, beautiful little boys into my family. 50 00:04:05,262.99319728 --> 00:04:13,122.99319728 And they're healthy and for being born so early, they were the healthiest that they could have been. 51 00:04:13,182.99319728 --> 00:04:16,152.99319728 So, they were born at 32 weeks. 52 00:04:16,532.99319728 --> 00:04:21,152.99319728 I was in the hospital for a month and then the boys were in the NICU for five and a half weeks. 53 00:04:21,242.99319728 --> 00:04:25,742.99319728 So it was like three months worth of living in the hospital basically. 54 00:04:26,372.99319728 --> 00:04:31,797.99319728 My other kids were really struggling, not seeing me all the time, you know, 'cause they were used to me being there. 55 00:04:32,582.99319728 --> 00:04:35,402.99319728 All day, every day, and they didn't get that. 56 00:04:35,402.99319728 --> 00:04:39,512.99319728 So it was just a really hard season on our whole family. 57 00:04:39,752.99319728 --> 00:04:46,562.99319728 My husband had to do two jobs, basically, like he had to support our family and then take care of the things that I was taking care of at home. 58 00:04:46,922.99319728 --> 00:04:49,52.99319728 My mom pitched in and then seeing 'em out. 59 00:04:49,52.99319728 --> 00:04:53,702.99319728 The kids actually stayed with her for quite a while and it was fun for them, but it was still really tough. 60 00:04:53,762.99319728 --> 00:04:54,152.99319728 So. 61 00:04:54,752.99319728 --> 00:04:55,382.99319728 Anyways. 62 00:04:55,742.99319728 --> 00:04:59,312.99319728 Long story short, twins were born at 32 weeks, super healthy. 63 00:04:59,372.99319728 --> 00:05:00,932.99319728 Needed a little bit of breathing help. 64 00:05:01,502.99319728 --> 00:05:06,92.99319728 One of them needed a chest tube because he had a hole in his left lung, and it healed totally fine. 65 00:05:06,122.99319728 --> 00:05:15,632.99319728 It healed all on its own, but I just needed a little help to drain all the fluid while it healed five and a half weeks later, they were feeding perfectly. 66 00:05:15,632.99319728 --> 00:05:19,322.99319728 They were healthy, keeping their weight up, keeping their bodies warm. 67 00:05:19,592.99319728 --> 00:05:22,52.99319728 We got to go home and we started on our new normal. 68 00:05:22,532.99319728 --> 00:05:22,952.99319728 Well. 69 00:05:23,732.99319728 --> 00:05:29,852.99319728 That led into a very extremely busy season, but also a season where I just needed to focus on my family. 70 00:05:31,112.99319728 --> 00:05:34,112.99319728 And I said that and it made me think of Dr. 71 00:05:34,112.99319728 --> 00:05:34,862.99319728 James Dobson. 72 00:05:34,862.99319728 --> 00:05:37,112.99319728 I don't know if any of you are familiar with that. 73 00:05:37,112.99319728 --> 00:05:38,792.99319728 We listen to Adventures and Odyssey all the time. 74 00:05:38,882.99319728 --> 00:05:39,542.99319728 Side note. 75 00:05:39,692.99319728 --> 00:05:43,52.99319728 But, um, I really had to focus on my family during this season. 76 00:05:43,52.99319728 --> 00:05:46,142.99319728 They lost so much time with me and it really affected them. 77 00:05:47,357.99319728 --> 00:05:56,747.99319728 So I just focused on where we were at and really devoting my time to them, my husband, my kids, and getting our new normal with the twins. 78 00:05:57,377.99319728 --> 00:05:59,147.99319728 So that has been the past year. 79 00:05:59,687.99319728 --> 00:06:02,237.99319728 And now fast forward, here we are. 80 00:06:02,657.99319728 --> 00:06:04,937.99319728 I have updated everything on the back end. 81 00:06:04,937.99319728 --> 00:06:09,257.99319728 So Restored Mama is the same restored mama, but it's still new. 82 00:06:09,257.99319728 --> 00:06:09,977.99319728 It has. 83 00:06:10,352.99319728 --> 00:06:35,462.99319728 All of the aspects that God told me restored mama needed to have, but it's fresh and alive with new purpose and even a new vision God gave me during the season because even though I wasn't physically here on the computer, in front of the mic recording, I was praying over it and really thinking about it, and I thought about it every single day. 84 00:06:36,377.99319728 --> 00:06:38,537.99319728 And I prayed through it every time I was in prayer. 85 00:06:38,867.99319728 --> 00:06:44,237.99319728 Okay, God, where are you leading me next? What's happening with Restored Mama? I know you told me to do this. 86 00:06:44,237.99319728 --> 00:06:50,357.99319728 I know I'm not supposed to stop, so what's next? And he really showed me so many things. 87 00:06:50,507.99319728 --> 00:06:52,457.99319728 And so here we are. 88 00:06:52,817.99319728 --> 00:06:53,387.99319728 We're here. 89 00:06:53,477.99319728 --> 00:06:54,437.99319728 It's happening. 90 00:06:54,497.99319728 --> 00:06:55,787.99319728 Oh, I'm so excited. 91 00:06:57,17.99319728 --> 00:06:58,217.99319728 Okay, so. 92 00:06:59,702.99319728 --> 00:07:01,622.99319728 That kinda catches you all up. 93 00:07:01,922.99319728 --> 00:07:08,162.99319728 And as more episodes come out, I'll give you more details through things, but I don't wanna take a whole episode talking about it all. 94 00:07:08,242.99319728 --> 00:07:12,592.99319728 so here I am and I'll update you as things. 95 00:07:12,907.99319728 --> 00:07:16,777.99319728 Come up and as time goes, you'll hear more and more about the past year. 96 00:07:17,167.99319728 --> 00:07:18,397.99319728 But that's the basics of it. 97 00:07:18,457.99319728 --> 00:07:19,387.99319728 That's the gist of it. 98 00:07:20,17.99319728 --> 00:07:24,877.99319728 But God made it clear that I needed to slow down and refocus over this past year. 99 00:07:25,57.99319728 --> 00:07:27,577.99319728 My family needed me. 100 00:07:28,207.99319728 --> 00:07:34,257.99319728 It wasn't an easy decision, but he really used that time to remind me that restoration starts in the quiet. 101 00:07:34,317.99319728 --> 00:07:43,527.99319728 And even though I now have, you know, seven kids, two, the older girls are in college, they're not here at the house, but I homeschool. 102 00:07:44,7.99319728 --> 00:07:45,687.99319728 I've got almost a teenager. 103 00:07:45,687.99319728 --> 00:07:48,477.99319728 She'll be a teenager and one more week, my goodness. 104 00:07:48,867.99319728 --> 00:07:50,427.99319728 And I have. 105 00:07:51,207.99319728 --> 00:07:53,847.99319728 Four boys four years and under. 106 00:07:53,997.99319728 --> 00:08:02,517.99319728 So it's not that my house is quiet, and we'll talk a lot more about this as we dive into rest and peace in the coming episodes. 107 00:08:02,517.99319728 --> 00:08:04,887.99319728 But my family's not quiet. 108 00:08:04,887.99319728 --> 00:08:06,237.99319728 My home is not quiet. 109 00:08:06,297.99319728 --> 00:08:07,617.99319728 I have lots of boys. 110 00:08:07,707.99319728 --> 00:08:11,547.99319728 They are loud and rambunctious and so fun. 111 00:08:12,327.99319728 --> 00:08:13,257.99319728 But I still. 112 00:08:13,677.99319728 --> 00:08:18,807.99319728 Found quiet, and that is where restoration really starts. 113 00:08:18,807.99319728 --> 00:08:22,617.99319728 And God did a whole lot of restoring in my soul over the past year. 114 00:08:23,967.99319728 --> 00:08:27,327.99319728 I spent a lot of time in prayer and I focused on my home. 115 00:08:27,327.99319728 --> 00:08:35,337.99319728 I let God rebuild some things in me that I had been too busy to focus on, and I didn't notice that they were breaking in me. 116 00:08:35,337.99319728 --> 00:08:38,577.99319728 They were breaking in my family and in my kids, and
