I’m So Tired of Starting Over (A Christian Mom’s Health Wake-Up Call) — S2:Ep3

“I’m tired of starting over.”
 
If you’ve said that after another hard day — another plan that didn’t stick, another promise to “do better tomorrow,” another wave of guilt — this episode is for you.
 
So many Christian moms are stuck in a cycle of stopping and starting programs, buying the next product, chasing what the world says health should look like, and believing one bad day means everything is ruined. The guilt piles up, motivation fades, and the only option that seems left is to reset… again.
 
But what if the problem isn’t your discipline?
 
What if the problem is the belief that health is a reset button instead of a walk?
 
In this episode, Ingrid speaks directly to the exhausted mom who is done striving and just wants something sustainable. Through personal experience and biblical truth, she reframes health as faithful stewardship — not a finish line.
 
You’ll learn:
Why constantly “starting over” keeps you stuck
Why burnout is often a worldview issue, not a willpower problem
How health mirrors sanctification — daily, imperfect, ongoing
What to do after a bad day without spiraling or quitting
Why you don’t need to buy another product to move forward
How to make the next right choice and keep walking in grace
 
You are the daughter of a King. He knows your heart. He is with you.
And your worth was never measured by a number, a body size, or a before-and-after photo.
 
This episode is your invitation to stop resetting — and start walking forward in faith.

You Don’t Need a Quiet Time (And Other Lies Christian Moms Believe) — S2:Ep2

If you’ve ever felt guilty because your Bible time wasn’t quiet, uninterrupted, or “done right,” this episode is for you.
 
Somewhere along the way, Christian moms were taught to believe a lie: that time with God has to look calm, clean, aesthetic, and perfectly planned to count. But real mom life is loud. It’s interrupted. It’s messy.
 
And waiting for perfect conditions often means Scripture stays closed and prayer feels out of reach. In this episode, Ingrid boldly dismantles the myth of the “perfect quiet time” and replaces it with biblical truth that brings freedom: God is not looking for perfection — He is looking for faithfulness.
 
You’ll hear why waiting for ideal conditions keeps you stuck, how to open your Bible in the middle of real life (kids, noise, interruptions and all), and why five minutes with God is better than zero. You’ll also be encouraged to let your children see you pray and read Scripture — because discipleship doesn’t happen in hidden, curated moments, but in ordinary obedience.
 
This episode is convicting without condemnation, practical without pressure, and deeply rooted in Scripture.
 
You’ll walk away relieved, encouraged, and reminded that God meets you exactly where you are — not where you think you should be.

The Questions I’ve Never Answered Out Loud (1-Year Anniversary Episode)— S1:Ep58

It’s officially been one year of the Healthy Holy Momlife Podcast… and today, I’m sharing the parts of my story I have never fully said out loud.
 
This anniversary episode is raw, emotional, and deeply personal — a look behind the microphone and into the journey God used to shape my life, my healing, my calling, and this entire ministry.
 
I’m answering the questions I’m asked the most — the hard ones, the vulnerable ones, the ones women whisper because they want to know if redemption is possible for them too.
 
In this powerful, tell-all episode, you’ll hear:
 
✨ What it was really like not growing up in a biblical home
… and how the Holy Spirit pursued me long before I knew how to pursue Him.
 
✨ How God healed my heart after betrayal, divorce, and years of emotional damage
… and the miraculous way He rebuilt my ability to trust again.
 
✨ Why I started this podcast with nine kids, homeschooling, and pregnancy
… and the calling that kept me going for a full year.
 
✨ The #1 mistake Christian women make in their health
… and how it keeps us spiritually and physically stuck.
 
✨ Whether I still struggle with body image or discipline today
… and how the Holy Spirit meets me in the tension — especially in this third trimester.
 
✨ How I knew God was calling me home full-time and out of my FNP career
… and the quiet, supernatural way He rearranged our family, our finances, and my heart.
 
This isn’t a highlight reel.
It’s not polished.
It’s not the “pretty” version.
 
It’s the truth —
the messy, holy, redeemed truth of what God has done.

Messy House, Holy Heart: Learning to Meet God in the Noise- S1:Ep54

You don’t need silence to hear God’s voice — you just need a surrendered heart.
 
In this deeply personal and practical episode, Ingrid shares how her quiet time with God has evolved through every season of motherhood — from the chaos of toddlers and homeschooling to the late-night stillness of exhaustion and grace.
 
Discover what it really means to build Healthy Holy Habits for Everyday Faith — simple rhythms that help you stay connected to the Word, grounded in gratitude, and anchored in prayer, even when life feels loud and messy.
 
Ingrid walks you step by step through her real-life journaling rhythm — including how she: • reads Scripture intentionally (even if it’s not first thing in the morning), • writes one verse to let it take root in her heart, • cultivates gratitude that transforms her mindset, • reflects honestly on one area of growth each day, and • prays with flexibility using the ACTS model — sometimes writing every word, sometimes whispering or marking silent tallies of surrender.
 
This isn’t about performance. It’s about presence. Because holiness doesn’t happen when life finally gets quiet — it happens when you invite God into the noise. 📖 Scripture references: Psalm 46:10, Luke 10:38–42, James 4:8, Isaiah 55:11, John 15:4, Romans 12:2, Galatians 6:9, and Lamentations 3:22–23. 💜

Sanctified, Not Self-Improved: Why Your Health Isn’t About “Becoming Better”—S1:Ep53

We live in a culture obsessed with “becoming your best self.”
But for the Christian woman, the goal isn’t self-improvement — it’s sanctification.
 
In this powerful, grace-filled episode, Ingrid shares how years of chasing devotionals, routines, and discipline left her exhausted and empty until God showed her the difference between trying to be better and being made new.
 
Through Scripture and real-life reflection, she unpacks what sanctification looks like in your health, motherhood, and mindset — and how to stop striving in your own strength so the Holy Spirit can do the transforming work only He can do.

You Can’t Just Put a Bible Verse on It and Call It Christian —S1:Ep52

We live in a world that loves to make everything look Christian — a verse on a T-shirt, a devotional quote in a caption, or a “faith-based” routine that’s all about performance, not obedience.
 
But God isn’t after decoration. He’s after devotion. In this convicting and hope-filled episode, Ingrid unpacks what it means to stop accessorizing your faith and start actually living it.
 
Through personal storytelling, biblical teaching, and reformed truth, she reminds us that the Christian life isn’t about striving — it’s about surrender.
 
You’ll learn how to:
• Recognize the difference between surface faith and Spirit-led obedience
• Rebuild your rhythms of health and motherhood on the foundation of Scripture
• Find peace and purpose in surrender instead of control
