Welcome to the Rooted Working Mom podcast! Find True Rest in Jesus, Rise in Your God-Given Authority & Raise Kingdom Kids Steward & Connect With Your Kids Through Gospel Centered Parenting, as a Busy Working Mom God-Led Wholeness Coaching in Faith, Motherhood, Wellness, & Mindset Find Clarity and Purpose in Your Motherhood Let Go of Working Mom Guilt Say Goodbye to Burnout Hey sweet mama! If you’ve been in a space of overwhelm, exhaustion, struggle, and feeling like you are just not good enough…Maybe you feel the tug to step into your authority as a present mom and wife while still pursuing your career… but you’re unsure how to integrate everything with more peace and intention while staying partnered with God. And you are truly ready to figure out who God is calling you to be in your life. Then this podcast for YOU! Hi I’m Cynthia, director (both at work and at home), entrepreneur, busy working boy mom of two here on earth and two in heaven, wife, and daughter of the King. After struggling to be the patient and loving mom I wanted to be, constantly burntout, having outbursts of anger towards my family, allowing the enemy to torment me with food, striving to always please people, and believing I was failing in all areas of life, I spent years finding my identity in Christ. Fighting against the spiritual bondage of perfectionism, worry, fear of failure and growing my trust in Jesus, have allowed me to experience healing, restoration, and freedom. After navigating who God has called me to be as a wife, mom, leader in higher education, and businesswoman I was transformed! Through that shift, I was led to creating this safe space for other working moms to explore their own identity in Christ and create a rooted, whole, life-God’s way with His priorities and energy! This Holy Spirt-Led podcast is going to help you find TRUE freedom, while resting in Jesus, rising into your authority, and raising kingdom kids. AMEN! Here in this space you will be encouraged, empowered, and partnered with Jesus to get breakthrough in your faith, motherhood, wellness, and mindset so that you can have victory, as a mama who is resting and living light, in the presence, with peace, joy and fulfillment. You will find tactical training, tips, biblical truths, inspiring guests, honest stories from women just like you, self care tips, and so much more! Grab your coffee or glass of wine and let’s dive in!

Hi Mama!
Welcome back to the Rooted Working Mom show!
Today I’m sharing with you 4 Truths to Encourage Your Mama Heart because let’s be honest, being a working mom is messy and HARD! We have great responsibility to our kids, our husbands (if you’re married), family, friends, coworkers, and last but not least ourselves. We put the needs and wants of others before our own and sacrifice on the daily. We love unconditionally. All the while, we are working to walk steadfast in our purpose and cultivate our own intimate relationship with Jesus.
There are times when our flesh wants something different from what God is calling us to do. There are times when it all seems too much, even impossible. There are times when we don’t feel good enough or that we have what it takes. So today mama, God wants to encourage your heart.
I pray that these 4 truths truly encourage your mama heart and help release any burden or overwhelm you are feeling right now and that the warm love of God washes over you and penetrates deep in your heart and mind.
Blessings,
Cynthia 💖

Hey Mama!
We get asked this question all the time..."Mom, what's for dinner?" and so today on the Rooted Working Mom show we're digging into MEAL PREP and MEAL Planning together. 🍽
As a busy working mom, feeding your family is something you think about often and do just about everyday. As the quote goes “If you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail”. My goal is to help simplify it for you and even make it more enjoyable. YES to making your life easier! 😍
We talk about 4 reasons why you should consider meal planning/prepping. Then I teach you 5 TIME SAVING meal planing and meal preparation HACKS, including a creative, fun, & easy solution to the “Mom, what’s for dinner?” question you get from your kids all the time, that DOES NOT involve YOU coming up with the idea. 🥳
Our family has been using this strategy for over a year and it’s made deciding what we’re having for dinner all week and meal prep super simple! 🙌🏼
Can't wait to share with you!
Blessings,
Cynthia 💖

Hi mama!
So glad you’re here with me because I have an important episode for you. Today we're covering the concept of nurture in the context of surrendering and the juxtaposition between nurturing versus controlling when it comes to mothering.
We’re talking about surrendering our children to God’s protective care, so that we’re not striving to do everything on our own. We’re talking about what you can do so that God is free to shower blessings on your kids and your relationship with them.
I teach you how I do this with my boys in two minutes or less each day. I walk you step-by-step through a simple and effective activation that will equip you with a super POWERFUL spiritual warfare weapon because
Ephisians 6: 10-12 tells us:
"Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places."
This weapon will help you Rest in Jesus, rise in your God-given authority, and raise the kingdom kids you are trying so hard to nurture! It will radically transformed your relationship with your child. 🙌🏼
Can't wait! Let's start equipping!!
Love,
Cynthia 💖

Hey mama!
Today’s episode is part 2 of Don’t Let Your Marriage Take the Back Seat to Your Kids: 3 Steps to a Rooted Marriage. It's a continuation of the, NON-sugarcoated, chat between me and my friend Beatriz Vargas, founder of The Grace Fueled Wife who is also a Christian wife coach helping transform marriages. If you haven't listened to episode 6 , I recommend you listen to that one first and then come back to this one.
We talk all about how not to let your marriage take the back seat to your kids and she gives us 3 practical steps to having a rooted marriage. We talk about how your smartphone is hurting your marriage.
Did you know that because it’s so common in our culture today there’s actually a name for it? Well according to the Webster online dictionary the phenomenon is called phubbing-the combination between phone and snubbing and is defined as "the act of snubbing someone in a social setting by looking at your phone instead of paying attention."
Essentially, instead of being engaged in a conversation or being present in the room, you are focused on your phone. It’s when you are more focused on your smartphone (social, YouTube, Netflix, emails, etc.) than your husband. Confession, I am so guilty of this!
Ready for more REAL girl talk? I pray this blesses your marriage.
💖,
Cynthia
