✨Group Coaching Sign-Ups Here!✨

Hi mama,

At the beginning of this year, I wrote down my goals and the woman I needed to become to reach them. One of those goals was to finally earn my real estate license, something I had talked about for years but never followed through on. This time, I did.

In this episode, I’m sharing what the journey really looked like behind the scenes. From signing up for school and realizing how intense it would be, to juggling being a wife, mom, working part-time, podcasting, interning, and still trying to care for myself, it stretched me in every way.

I opened up about the stress, the doubt, and what test day was really like when I felt overwhelmed and unsure of myself. I had to lean on faith, discipline, and affirmations.

If you’re a stay-at-home mom feeling tired, stretched, or unsure of your purpose, I hope this encourages you. What God spoke over your life is still true, even if it’s taking longer than expected.

I also share details about my upcoming group coaching for mamas who want community, accountability, and growth in their leadership and purpose at home.

You’re not stuck, mama, you’re being stretched. And there is purpose in it.

98 | Staying Aligned With God’s Vision for Your Life as a Stay-at-Home Mom (A Raw & Emotional Conversation)

Hi mama!

We’re back with a brand new episode, and we’re talking about one of my favorite topics again: vision!

I just wrapped up a very busy and stressful season, and I finished it by doing something hard. (I will tell you all about it very soon!) On this side of it, I am so proud of myself, not just for doing the thing, but more importantly because it was part of my vision all along. I didn’t waste time floundering; instead, I spent my time intentionally doing the things that are getting me to where I want to be.

And that’s what we’re talking about today, because I know we all need the reminder. I also ended up getting super emotional in this episode, thinking about my time as a stay-at-home mom, my vision and priorities through it all, and my desire for my boys to grow into strong, Godly men. So bear with me. I hope this episode blesses you!

xo,

Yaritza

96 | 2 Lessons on Discipline Every Christian Mom Needs to Hear (From My 75 Hard Challenge)

Hi mama,

I’m bringing back one of my favorite episodes. I hope you enjoy this replay! 

In this episode, I’m wrapping up my life-changing 75 Hard Challenge and sharing two powerful lessons that completely shifted my perspective on motherhood, discipline, and intentional living.

For a long time, I viewed discipline as something hard and restrictive but through this journey, I’ve come to see it as a gift. A gift that brings peace, structure, and even freedom into our homes. In this episode, I talk about how boundaries and discipline don’t just benefit us as moms, but also create comfort and security for our children.

I also dive into what Scripture has shown me about discipline, pulling from Psalms and Proverbs, and how God’s guidance reflects the same loving structure we’re called to create in our own lives and families.

One of the biggest takeaways I share is the importance of having a clear vision for your life. When we pair vision with consistent discipline, we begin to see real transformation, not just in ourselves, but in our homes.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling to stay consistent, I hope this episode encourages you to lean into the hard things. Because on the other side of discipline is growth, joy, and lasting peace.

xo,

Yaritza
