What if peace isn't something you find once life finally settles down?

In this encouraging episode of The MOM Show, Courtney sits down with author, speaker, and ministry leader Lindsay Roberts to discuss finding God's peace in the middle of life's greatest heartbreaks and uncertainties.

Lindsay vulnerably shares her journey through infertility, multiple miscarriages, the heartbreaking loss of her full-term son, and the life-changing lesson that has sustained her faith through every season: don't quit mid-miracle.

Together, Courtney and Lindsay explore what it means to trust God when life doesn't unfold the way we hoped, how unforgiveness quietly steals our peace, and why true peace is found only by anchoring ourselves in God's Word—not in our circumstances.

If you're carrying grief, wrestling with anxiety, navigating disappointment, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of motherhood, this conversation will remind you that God's peace is available, even in the middle of chaos.

• Lindsay's powerful testimony of miscarriage, infant loss, and God's faithfulness.

• What it means to "not quit mid-miracle."

• The difference between temporary peace and true biblical peace.

• The biggest "peace stealers" moms face today.

• Why forgiveness is essential to experiencing freedom.

• Practical ways to cultivate peace before the chaos of the day begins.

• How to prioritize what matters most in every season of motherhood.

• Encouragement for moms walking through grief, waiting, and unanswered prayers.

• John 14:27

• 3 John 2

• Philippians 4:13

• Psalm 23

• Psalm 91

Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I'll have peace when..."?

When the kids are older.
When summer is over.
When life slows down.
When the house is clean.
When this difficult season finally passes.

The truth is, if we're always waiting for life to settle down before we experience peace, we'll spend our lives waiting.

In this solo episode, Courtney shares why true peace isn't found in the absence of chaos—it's found in the presence of Christ. Building on last week's conversation with Erin Greneaux, this episode is an invitation to stop postponing peace and begin recognizing that God is already meeting you in the middle of your ordinary, everyday motherhood.

• Why we often believe peace is waiting on the other side of our circumstances
• The lie behind the phrase, "I'll have peace when..."
• How busyness and constant distractions keep us from noticing God's presence
• Why Jesus never promised a trouble-free life—but He did promise His presence
• Practical ways to create margin and meet with God in the middle of a busy season
• Learning to stop waiting for life to calm down and start experiencing God's peace today

• Peace isn't the absence of chaos—it's the presence of Christ.
• There will always be another busy season, another challenge, and another "after."
• God is already present in your ordinary moments—you simply have to slow down enough to notice Him.
• You don't have to wait until everything changes before you experience the peace Jesus offers today.

In this heartfelt conversation, Courtney sits down with author and mom of three, Erin Grineaux, to talk about what it really looks like to meet God in the middle of motherhood—not apart from it.

Erin shares honestly about the overwhelming early years of raising three young daughters, the exhaustion, the chaos, and the quiet struggle of feeling disconnected from God in the middle of it all. But it was in those very moments—late-night feedings, everyday frustrations, and ordinary routines—that God began to gently reveal Himself in a new way.

This episode is a powerful reminder that you don't have to step away from motherhood to experience God… He is already present within it.

What You'll Hear in This Episode:

• Why motherhood can feel spiritually disconnecting—and how to shift that perspective
• How to recognize God in the small, ordinary moments of your day
• The importance of quiet time (even if it's just a minute)
• Letting go of pressure and perfection in motherhood
• How your faith naturally shapes your children more than you think
• The danger of comparison culture and redefining what matters most in your home
• Encouragement for the mom who feels distant from God right now
• Holding both joy and grief in hard seasons—and trusting God in the unknown

After hearing a powerful story of redemption, it's easy to feel inspired…
but also quietly wonder—

"Why doesn't my story look like that?"

In this follow-up episode, Courtney speaks directly to the mom who is still in the middle of the mess—the one whose situation feels unresolved, unanswered, or still broken.

Because here's the truth:
Redemption doesn't always look like restoration in the way we expect.

Sometimes God restores the relationship…
and sometimes He begins by restoring you within it.

If you've been waiting for things to change and they haven't—this episode will remind you that God is still working, even when you can't see it.

Your story is not finished.

• Why hearing others' redemption stories can sometimes feel discouraging
• The difference between restoration and redemption
• Letting go of expectations for how God "should" fix things
• A personal story of holding onto an ending that didn't unfold as expected
• How God often begins His work by transforming us from the inside out
• Finding peace even when your circumstances haven't changed
• What it looks like to trust God in the middle of an unfinished story

• Redemption doesn't always mean everything gets fixed the way you hoped
• Sometimes God changes you before He changes the situation
• Peace is not found in outcomes—it's found in who God is
• Just because you can't see it doesn't mean God isn't working
• The place that feels the most broken may be where God is doing His deepest work.

Somewhere along the way, motherhood can quietly become everything.

Your schedule, your energy, your identity—it all revolves around your kids. And while being a mom is one of the most meaningful roles we will ever have… it was never meant to be our only role.

In today's episode, Courtney shares a gentle but powerful reminder: you don't have to lose yourself in motherhood to be a good mom.

As we step into summer—a season where rhythms shift and space opens up—this is your invitation to begin nurturing the relationships that will sustain you for years to come.

From making time for your marriage…
to prioritizing friendships…
to rediscovering who you are outside of your role as "mom"…

This episode is filled with honesty, encouragement, and permission to build a life you won't have to rebuild later.

• Why motherhood can easily become our entire identity
• The importance of nurturing your marriage (and why it doesn't maintain itself)
• Courtney's personal story of taking her first girls trip—and what it revealed
• The mindset that keeps moms from prioritizing friendships
• Letting go of guilt around stepping away for yourself
• Why building relationships now matters for the seasons ahead
• How to begin creating a full, life-giving rhythm alongside motherhood

The transition into the empty nest can feel like one of the biggest and most unexpected shifts in motherhood—and yet, it's a season that isn't talked about nearly enough.

In today's episode, Courtney sits down with returning guest Pamela Henkleman, empty nest coach and host of the Midlife Momma podcast, to have an honest and hope-filled conversation about what it really looks like to release your children into adulthood… without losing yourself in the process.

Pamela shares from her own journey of raising five children, navigating prodigal seasons, and discovering that motherhood was just one part of the story God was writing in her life—not the end of it.

Together, they talk about the tension of missing your kids while rediscovering your purpose, the challenge of letting go of control, and how to stay deeply connected to your children without overstepping.

If you're a mom approaching the empty nest, in the middle of it, or even just beginning to think about what life looks like beyond raising kids—this conversation will encourage you, ground you, and remind you that God is not finished with your story.

• What "letting go" actually looks like in real life—not just emotionally, but practically
• How to shift from directing your children to supporting them as adults
• Navigating prodigal children with faith, trust, and unconditional love
• Why expectations can lead to disappointment—and what to replace them with
• How to stay connected to your adult children without controlling or overstepping
• The importance of protecting your child's marriage and honoring new family dynamics
• Rediscovering your identity and purpose outside of motherhood
• Why the empty nest can be one of the most fruitful seasons of your life

Have you ever walked through something hard with one child… and quietly feared it might happen again with another?

After my conversation with Amy Loflin, I wanted to take a deeper look at something so many moms experience—but rarely name: anticipatory grief.

In this solo episode, I'm sharing how our past pain can begin to shape our present relationships, causing us to expect the worst before it ever happens. When we're not careful, fear can slowly shift the way we see our children, leading us to parent from a place of anxiety instead of truth.

I open up about my own experience—how a past unhealthy relationship distorted my understanding of love, and how I unknowingly carried those beliefs into a healthy one. It took time, awareness, and God's truth to begin separating what was real… from what I had come to expect.

If you've ever found yourself bracing for something that hasn't even happened yet… this episode is for you.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

• What anticipatory grief is and how it shows up in motherhood
• Why it's easy to expect the same struggles with other children
• The difference between awareness and projection
• How past experiences can distort our view of love and relationships
• Why fear can create distance in the relationships that matter most
• How to begin separating your past from your present

Encouragement for You:
Your past may explain your fear… but it does not get to define your relationships.
You don't have to parent from fear.
And just because something happened before… doesn't mean it will happen again.
