Made To Be | Find Yourself Again In Motherhood, Rediscover Your Identity, Find Your Passion and Purpose, Grow Your Self-Worth, Reclaim Your Confidence, Christian Catholic Life Coach For Moms
// Find Your Spark & Pursue Your Passion While Raising Littles // Hey Mama, Welcome to The Made To Be Podcast Do you feel like you’ve totally let go of who you are outside of being a mom? Does it seem like you’re living without any sense of purpose or fulfillment beyond your role as a mother? Do you absolutely love being a mom, but feel like you’ve neglected every other part of you, and ignored or maybe even forgotten the gifts, talents, and interests that make you who you are? Do you wish you could stop feeling guilty for wanting to pursue your dreams and goals in the midst of motherhood? In this podcast, you’ll learn how to reject toxic mom culture and break the cycle of martyr motherhood, and claim the truth that who you are outside of being a mom matters too. My mission is to equip you to get unstuck, take action, and help you reignite the fire of your passions, interests, and goals so you can step into your dreams with faith and confidence. We’ll dive deep into the topics of faith-based identity, mindset, and personal growth strategies, giving you the tools to overcome limiting beliefs, fear of failure, perfectionism, and other obstacles that are holding you back and keeping you stuck. Each week, you’ll walk away with practical tips to help you grow in self-awareness and empower you to become the fully expressed woman you were always meant to be. If you’re ready to say yes to your calling and reject the lie that you have to choose between raising a family or pursuing your God-given passions – you’re in the right place. Hi, I’m Mary Smith, mom of 4, and certified life coach. Even though I always knew being a mom would be my greatest calling, what I didn’t know was how easy it would be to fall into living out a narrative of motherhood that I didn’t actually choose for myself. I struggled with the idea that I had to let go of the pursuit of anything outside of being a good mom. I was fighting this inner battle of desiring to rediscover what I loved to do beyond my role as a mom but ultimately believing that having goals and dreams outside of motherhood was selfish. And so for years, I tried to live out my motherhood the way I thought I should and as a result headed deep into a struggle with losing sight of who I was as I faded further and further into the background, fell into comparison traps, and battled with self-doubt. I finally realized that if I was going to find true freedom, peace, and joy, I had to stop allowing the world to tell me who I should be and instead let God tell me who I am and what HIS dreams are for my life…and pursue them unapologetically. With four daughters of my own, this is something I am SO passionate about modeling and while it’s been a journey that has had its ups and downs, twists and turns, and detours, it’s one I am truly grateful for. And now, I get to help you do the same. If you’re ready to let go of the shame, stories, and shoulds keeping you boxed in and unfulfilled and trade it for a life where you lean in to what lights you up, reclaim your self-worth, and chase your dreams – this podcast is for you. I am so excited that you’re here. It’s time to take that first step, hit subscribe, and tune in — it’s time to become who you’re made to be.

Book a FREE 20 Minute Clarity CallIn today's episode, I'm sharing my story of how I went from SAHM feeling stuck and unfulfilled outside of motherhood to starting an online business that is rooted in my passions and purpose. While I'd love to say that my story was very linear and I knew exactly where this journey would take me when I started almost 7 years ago, the truth is it was anything but that. Tune in to hear my story that was full of setbacks, ups and downs, and detours. My hope is that if you're a mom who feels called to "more" — whether that's to dive into a creative outlet or start your own online business — that my story can help you feel less alone and inspired to take that next step in your own journey.
If you love this episode, could you share with a friend who needs to hear this message too? Thanks!I hope this blesses and encourages you, Mama. Remember, you are set apart and chosen for a unique purpose.
