Your Mosaic Mom Life | Stay-at-Home Mom, Confidence, Personal Identity, Purpose, Personality Types

Have you ever felt like you have to be good at all the domestic things to be a good SAHM? Like you’re not allowed to be bad at anything home- or kid-related or that makes you a bad mom? That you’re failing as a mom if you can’t do ALL THE THINGS well?
Same, mama. Same!
But, it’s a lie. It’s a lie straight from the pits of hell. And today, we’re talking about WHY that lie is so detrimental for moms and what we can do to stop believing AND perpetuating it.

“Laura, I don’t want to hear anymore about personality types. I don’t want to be put in a box!!”
 
Yep, I’ve heard that sentiment quite a bit over the past 20 years as a Certified Personality Trainer. 
 
My usual response is “I don’t like being put in a box, either! Which is why I love so many different typing systems. No one profile or assessment will ever tell us everything there is to know about ourselves. We’re too complex!”
 
So, when it comes to personality typing, I have three big rules for how to use those tools WELL. And what those rules are is what we’re talking about today.

Do you feel like your marriage is a constant battle against personality differences? Like you’re just TOO different to really have a strong marriage? 
 
I promise, mama: nothing could be further from the truth!
 
Personality differences don’t have to be the detriment they’re often made out to be. Instead, with some understanding and willingness to adjust to each other, those same personality differences can be transformed into a foundation that strengthens your marriage year after year.
 
Today, I’m joined by my husband, Erik, in honor of our 15th wedding anniversary, and we’re talking about the 3 personality typing systems that have us build that foundation, as well as stories of our successes and epic failures along the way. ❤️
 
We’re praying this episode will be an encouragement for your marriage and give you some tools to begin strengthening your relationship TODAY!

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought:
"I don't even know who I am anymore."
Not because you don't know your name.
Not because you've forgotten your favorite color.
But because so much of your life revolves around meeting everyone else's needs that you don’t even remember what makes YOU come alive.
Today I want to challenge a thought that many of us carry around, but few of us voice:
What if you're not actually having a mom identity crisis?
What if you've simply forgotten who God created you to be?

Have you ever looked at the people around you and thought, “What is wrong with me? I don’t seem to think or act anything like these people…”
 
Or, if you’re more honest, have you ever thought, “What’s wrong with THEM?! Why can’t they just do things like I do??” We all do it, so we might as well be honest about it!
 
God just made us all to think and act differently. But, there tend to be some similarities and general, broad categories that we can use to help us understand each other, and that’s where personality typing comes in SO handy! 
 
Not only can we begin to understand the people around us instead of immediately condemning or dismissing them because they’re different from us. We can ALSO use these tools to really dig in and figure out how God created us to function in this world, what gifts He’s given us to share with others, and what He’s put us here to accomplish here on Earth. 
 
Today, we’re walking through my top 3 personality typing tools for SAHMs who are trying to figure out who they are again. You may want a notebook for this episode, mama!

This week, we’re diving into a slightly different aspect of Your Mosaic Mom Life – your name, and specifically your God-given name, not just your birth name. It’s gonna be good, so let’s do this!

Do you feel like God is nudging you to do something, but you’re not entirely sure what? 
Are you battling insecurity and doubts that you can actually DO whatever it is you’re feeling called to do? 
Has being a SAHM had your confidence taking a hit? 
If so, this episode is for you because this whole Mosaic Mom Life thing has one key ingredient that we stay-at-home moms tend to struggle with: CONFIDENCE. We need confidence in ourselves, our decisions, and in who God created us to be and what He created us to do in order to truly start living our Mosaic Mom Lives. 
And today, we’re going where any good Millennial mom would go for inspiration: a Disney movie! So, reheat that coffee, mama, and let’s see what God can teach us today through Moana 2!

I can’t tell you the number of times a mom has told me, “I just feel invisible, like nothing I do outside of taking care of our home and our kids actually matters. I’m not good at ANYTHING anymore.”
 
And doesn’t it often feel like that? In the midst of changing diapers, driving kids hither and yon, and making sure everyone is fed and has clean clothes to wear, we tend to lose sight of ourselves. 
 
That thing we were really good at before kids now feels completely irrelevant to our lives. Who cares that we were the best CPA or the best brain surgeon or if you could sell ice to an Eskimo? When your whole world is wrapped up in kids and home, those other skill sets just don’t seem that critical right now. 
 
But, I’m here today with a quick reminder that your God-given talents and gifts never expire. And He has a plan for you to USE those gifts for the benefit of your family, your church, and yourself! 
 
Let’s talk about how to figure out your unique Spiritual Gifts and what you can do to start living in them again NOW.
