Do you struggle to maintain the home without sacrificing time with your kids? Do you feel guilty for sitting your kids in front of a screen so you can get everything done? Are you going to bed feeling overwhelmed and scattered? Do you find yourself stuck in survival mode, counting down to bedtime (and then feeling bad about it)? Do you want to live more holistically and go low-tox but don’t know where to start? What if there was a way to partner biblical parenting with holistic homemaking so you had the systems, routines, and mindset to actually have more time and balance between home and motherhood? It’s possible, Let me show you how! In the Wholesome Mumma find conversations on biblical parenting for the SAHM Christian mum, a holistic view on homemaking and how you can make small changes to better your homemaking plus tips and tricks for staying on top of the housework whilst balancing time with God, your husband, children and even yourself. I’m Elyse, lover of Jesus, married to my best friend, mum of 3 littles and living life on the beach. I remember what it was like to be a new mum - I was frustrated with motherhood, drowning in housework, and struggling to find time to balance it all. I wondered how to help my kids know Jesus when I couldn’t get my toddler to stop throwing a tantrum long enough to open the bible. I went on a journey to discover God’s plan and purpose for mothers. 3 John 1:2 says “I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in good health, just as your soul prospers” and I know this includes mothers. So if you are ready to lean on Jesus in your motherhood, find contentment in homemaking and all that God has for you in this season then grab your cup of tea, reheat it, because you know, and let’s go!

Today I am chatting with Kath from Fitnest Mama about recovering from birth and transitioning to motherhood, physically. I ask Kath how mums can deal with the tension of enjoying their new baby but also that voice inside that wants to get her body back. Kath also shares tips for the mum who is feeling overwhelmed from pregnancy and birth and is now trying to find her old/new self. We also chat why it's so important for woman to still prioritise their health and wellness, even when caring for a baby. This episode is so much more than just about some pelvic floor exercises, although they are important.

I've recently changed how I have been praying and it's changed everything. When I sat down to record my planned out episode this week, I just started crying, the heaviness of the world right now, the division, I'm feeling it all. I wanted to have a little heart to heart because I know so many of you are too. Praying felt like I was just going through the motions, until I changed how I was praying. It's simple, but it's so eye-opening. Listen in to hear the one question I'm now asking when I pray.
