152. When God Speaks in the McDonald's Drive-Thru

Send us a text

Have you ever felt the weight of trying to do it all? That's exactly where I found myself recently—juggling four kids under five, a demanding corporate job, and this podcast while navigating the postpartum journey after my fourth baby.

The first couple months postpartum were actually smooth, but around month three, everything changed. I hit a wall. My body ached, fatigue overwhelmed me, and my nutrition spiraled into a cycle of fast food and processed junk. Despite clear nudges from the Holy Spirit (literally speaking to me in the McDonald's drive-thru!), I kept pushing through on my own strength until I couldn't anymore.

What I've come to recognize is that postpartum isn't just a physical recovery—it's a spiritual battleground. The enemy knows mothers are vulnerable during this season, which explains why postpartum depression, rage, and emotional struggles are so common. I believe he specifically targets those who are working to expose his lies and share God's truth.

The turning point came when I finally stopped suffering in silence. I opened up to my coworkers, made that crucial first step (choosing the grocery store over fast food after our vacation), and implemented an anti-inflammatory diet with regular exercise. I'm already feeling better physically, mentally, and spiritually.

I'm sharing this deeply personal journey because I suspect many of you are in similar situations. The enemy wants us isolated, thinking we're the only ones struggling. Whether you're navigating postpartum, feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities, or just not feeling good in your own body—you are not alone. Remember Matthew 11:28: "Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest." Would you pray for me during this season? And if you're going through something similar, know that I'm praying for you too. Let's walk this journey together.
