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.

Passion To Purpose CoachingHey Mama!I know what it feels like when you get this nudge to pursue a dream but "now" doesn't feel like the right time.
When you're a mom trying to faithfully live out your vocation of motherhood it can make pursuing any dream outside of that seem like a selfish ambition.
In today's episode, I share my heart for challenging the societal norms that suggest having children somehow gets in the way of us becoming who we're made to be beyond our role as mothers. Because spoiler alert: it absolutely doesn't!
I also dive deep into how we can shift the narrative and discover the magic of pursuing our dreams alongside raising our little ones by sharing four incredible gifts we give our kids when we pursue our passions.
This is a beautiful mindset based conversation and one I am so passionate about.
I pray this episode encourages and deeply inspires you to lean in to whatever dream is on your heart! Til next time, Mary

Hey mama!
Have you ever questioned if the version of motherhood you're living is actually the one you WANT to be living? Do you wish you could live this season of your life differently, but aren't quite sure what that would even look like? Do you have dreams and desires that won't go away but just don't seem like they fit in your motherhood story?
I been there. For years, I allowed the scripts and stories running in my subconscious hold me back from following my dreams, simply because I thought it wasn't possible in this season of motherhood.
And that couldn't have been further from the truth.
If that's where you are now, I want you to know there is space for your dreams to coexist in your motherhood. It's okay if the way you show up as a mom looks drastically different that what you – or others - thought it would.
In today's episode, we're cracking open the concept of "scripts" – those subtle narratives that guide your actions and thoughts as a mom, even when you're not consciously aware of them.
We'll talk about where your scripts come from, what shapes them, and how they're holding you back.
Plus, I'll share a powerful exercise you can use to challenge your old script and rewrite one that aligns with the vision of motherhood you dream of using the G.R.O.W Method.
Enjoy!
Until Next Time,
Mary

In today's episode, we’ll dive into the world of self-care and creating a ritual using my 3-part framework.

I share my own self-care ritual, and walk you through the process for how to create one that is literally made for you. We’ll also go over the three foundational forms of self-care that must be a part of you daily life to foster personal growth, your emotional well-being and a life of joy, peace, and confidence to pursue what lights you up.
When you’re ready to create you own self-care practice, I’ve included a beautiful free resource that takes you through the process step by step with ideas for each of the 3 foundational elements that make up your ritual, so don’t forget to download your copy and set aside a specific date to design a ritual you love.
