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.
 
And because we’re celebrating one full year together,

✨ How to approach dessert without spiraling into shameso you can eat the pie with joy and walk away in peace
✨ Why self-control is a fruit of the Spirit—not something you earn through willpower

Eat the pie.Give thanks.And stop letting fear decide how you show up at the table.

Start Here: The 5 Simple Habits Every Christian Mom Needs —S1:Ep56

When motherhood feels loud, chaotic, overwhelming, or spiritually dry… most of us think we need a complete overhaul. A new planner. A stricter routine. A perfect morning quiet time.
 
But what we actually need?
Small, sustainable habits that steady our body, mind, and heart — so we can walk with Christ in the middle of real life.
 
In this episode, Ingrid shares the five foundational habits every Christian mom needs to stay anchored: hydration, prayer & Scripture, movement, a realistic plan, and flexibility with grace. These aren’t glamorous. They aren’t complicated. But they will change the way you show up in your home, your health, and your faith.
 
You’ll hear real-life stories, biblical encouragement, and practical tools you can start today — even if you’re tired, busy, pregnant, overwhelmed, or in a season of constant interruptions.
 
Ingrid also shares a gentle, doable challenge for the week ahead, plus a soft invitation to her Healthy Holy Habits Journal — a guided tool designed to simplify your quiet time and keep you rooted in the Word day after day.
 
This episode is honest.
It’s grounding.
It’s deeply biblical.
And it’s exactly the reset your heart needs.

I Tried to Be Healthy Without God: Here’s What Happened— S1:Ep55

In this vulnerable episode, Ingrid shares her story of striving for “health” in her own strength — and what happened when she finally surrendered control and invited God into every part of her journey.
 
You’ll hear the hard truth about worldly wellness, the red flags of self-centered health, and the freedom that comes when you stop chasing results and start seeking righteousness.

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. 💜

Through personal storytelling, biblical teaching, and reformed truth, she reminds us that the Christian life isn’t about striving — it’s about surrender.
