The start of a new year can feel surprisingly heavy—especially for working moms. Even with the best intentions, January often brings pressure to move quickly, get organized, and figure everything out right away. Before long, peace is replaced by urgency, and hope gives way to overwhelm.

In this episode, we slow things down.

Instead of rushing into plans, goals, or productivity, you’re invited to begin the year from a different place—staying close to God rather than striving for clarity. Drawing from Scripture and the example of Jesus, this conversation reminds you that a peaceful start doesn’t come from having everything decided. It comes from abiding, listening, and letting God set the pace.

You’ll hear encouragement for releasing pressure, embracing stillness, and approaching the new year with trust instead of urgency. This episode centers on one simple, Spirit-led question that can help you experience peace when life feels full and the road ahead feels uncertain.

If you’re a working Christian mom who already feels behind—or who wants to start the year faithfully without burning out—this episode will meet you right where you are.

• Why the beginning of the year often feels rushed and overwhelming

• What the Bible teaches about peace, stillness, and staying rooted in Christ

• How Jesus modeled beginning from intimacy, not urgency

• One question that helps replace striving with peace

• A gentler, faith-filled way to start the year as a working mom

Where in your life is God inviting you to stay close instead of striving?

You don’t need to answer this all at once. Return to it in quiet moments—during your commute, in prayer, or when you feel pressure to rush ahead. Peace often comes not from clarity, but from closeness.
