62 | Working In The Margins: How God Grows You While You Raise Littles Featuring Kate Battistelli The Happy SAHM - Find Joy At Home, Stay-at-Home Mom, Prioritize Yourself podcast

In this week’s episode, Yaritza shares a heartfelt reflection on a recent conversation with her 18-year-old son, Jonathan—a moment that reminded her that all the love, sacrifice, and intentionality poured into her family truly matter. This meaningful exchange inspired her to revisit an incredible past conversation with author and speaker Kate Battistelli, who offers timeless wisdom for moms learning to rediscover themselves beyond motherhood.

Kate reminds us that “Mom is not your only name” and encourages mothers to faithfully embrace the season they’re in while also preparing their hearts for what comes next. Together, Yaritza and Kate explore:

Finding joy and purpose in every stage of motherhood
Why self-care and spiritual growth are not selfish, but necessary
How to begin “working in the margins” through prayer and personal development
The power of community and adult connection outside the home
Keeping your marriage a priority in the midst of busy family life
Trusting that God is using every season—even the hard ones—for good

If you’ve ever felt torn between motherhood and your personal dreams, this episode will remind you that both can beautifully coexist. God is working in your life right now, even in the small, ordinary moments.
