Welcome to the Mom Keys to Mental Peace Podcast, a space for millennial moms pursuing mental clarity, spiritual growth, and peace in the middle of real life. Here, we talk honestly about motherhood, faith, identity, and the hard topics many women carry quietly — all through the lens of God’s Word.
This podcast is about stewarding what God has entrusted to us: our minds, our families, our calling, and our walk with Him. You’ll find biblical wisdom, practical strategies, and gentle encouragement to help you care for your mental and emotional health while staying rooted in Christ.
Together, we learn how to navigate overwhelm, listen for God’s direction, and build homes filled with peace — not perfection. If you’re longing for clearer thoughts, stronger faith, and intentional motherhood grounded in God’s purpose, you’re in the right place.

Ep.166 Philippians 4:6-7 How to Experience the Peace that Surpasses Understanding
Have you ever had one worry turn into ten?
One concern becomes a rabbit hole of “what ifs,” and before you know it, your mind is running through every possible scenario trying to figure out how to make everything okay.
But what if the peace we're looking for doesn't come from finally having all the answers?
In this episode of Mom Keys to Mental Peace, we're diving into Philippians 4:6–7 and what it means to experience the peace of God that surpasses understanding. We'll talk about the ways we try to create our own peace through control, busyness, and distraction—and how God's peace is different.
God's peace doesn't necessarily mean the problem disappears. Sometimes the problem is still there, the answer hasn't come yet, and the circumstances haven't changed. Yet somehow, you can still have peace.
I'll also share a personal story of having to practice Philippians 4:6–7 during one of the most difficult seasons of my life and what it looked like to pour my worries out to God instead of allowing them to spiral in my mind.
Because peace isn't the absence of problems. Peace is the presence of God in the middle of them.
If your mind has been overwhelmed by worry, this episode is your reminder that you don't have to carry it all. Bring it to God, thank Him for what He's already done, and trust Him with what you cannot control.
Ready to choose peace? Let's do it!
Homework:
Your homework this week: Practice Philippians 4:6–7.
When a worry begins to spiral, stop and take it to God.
Write down:
What am I worried about?
What do I need from God right now?
What can I thank God for?
What am I trying to control that I need to surrender?
Then spend a few moments reminding yourself:
“I don't know what is going to happen, but I know God is with me.”
Notice what happens when you stop trying to create your own peace and allow God to guard your heart and mind.

Prayer of Salvation
If you’re ready to invite Jesus into your heart and begin a new life in Him, please pray this prayer with me:
"Dear God, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I admit that I am a sinner and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son, and that He died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. Thank You for loving me and giving me eternal life. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen."

Ep.165 When Parenting Feels Hard: Finding Peace in the Process
Every mom has moments that make her question if she's getting this parenting thing right.
Whether it's difficult behavior at school, disrespect, poor choices, or simply feeling discouraged by the season you're in, parenting can leave us carrying guilt and wondering where we went wrong.
In this honest and encouraging episode, Tari shares personal parenting struggles, lessons she's learning with each of her children, and the hope found in the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Together we'll explore what it means to faithfully parent without believing our children's every choice is a reflection of our worth as mothers.
If you've been feeling defeated or exhausted on your parenting journey, this episode is a reminder that God is still writing your child's story—and yours.
In this episode you'll learn:
Why your child's behavior isn't always a reflection of your parenting
The difference between biblical principles and promises
How the Prodigal Son gives parents hope
Four practical ways to stay encouraged when parenting feels hard
Because progress—not perfection—is the goal, and God is faithful through every season of motherhood.

Homework:
This week, think of one area where you've been discouraged in your parenting.
Take 10–15 minutes to journal through these questions:
What emotions have I been carrying about my child's behavior?
Have I been taking their choices as a personal reflection of my worth as a mother?
What seeds have I already been faithfully planting?
What burden do I need to surrender to God today?
Then choose one intentional act of encouragement toward your child this week—a meaningful conversation, quality time, praying over them while they sleep, writing them a note, or simply reminding them how much they're loved.

Ep.164 Contentment, Gratitude, & Stewardship: Three Ingredients for a Peaceful Life
We've spent the past seven months talking about stewardship, but there's one area that often gets overlooked—the stewardship of our hearts.
In this episode, Tari shares how God exposed her own struggles with complaining, comparison, envy, and discontentment, and how He used Scripture to transform her perspective through gratitude and contentment.
Together we'll explore:
Why contentment, gratitude, and stewardship always work together
The hidden connection between comparison and coveting
How social media can fuel discontentment
What Eve's story teaches us about wanting what isn't ours
Six practical, biblical ways to cultivate contentment in every season
If you've ever caught yourself thinking, "I'll finally be happy when..." this episode is a gentle invitation to discover the peace that comes from trusting God with both what you have today and what you're believing Him for tomorrow.
Because faithful stewardship doesn't begin when you have more—it begins when you recognize that God is enough.
