5 Postpartum Rules That Are Saving My Sanity (and Might Save Yours Too)
I’m four months postpartum with baby number four (which is just wild to say!), and I’ve been reflecting on what I’ve learned through each of my postpartum journeys — the hard, the holy, and the healing parts.
In this episode, I’m sharing my five postpartum rules that help me protect my mental health and truly enjoy this fleeting season. From staying off your phone (yes, even the “helpful” TikToks) to guarding your heart against comparison, we’ll talk about how to stay present, rooted, and filled with peace — even in the middle of the sleepless nights.
Whether you’re in the thick of postpartum right now or just preparing your heart for it, I pray this conversation helps you breathe a little deeper and remember: you’re not failing… you’re being formed.

The Story You’re Telling Yourself About Motherhood (and How to Change It)
What story are you telling yourself about motherhood?
Is it one of constant overwhelm, exhaustion, and defeat—or one of joy, strength, and peace?
In today’s episode of the Joy Filled Podcast, Jenna shares a real-life moment of chaos (hello, sweaty mom trying to wrangle kids out the door) and the powerful shift that happened when she remembered: I can choose differently.
Through scripture, encouragement, and honesty, Jenna reminds us that the atmosphere of our homes begins with the attitudes of our hearts—and with Christ, we can rewrite the stories we’ve been believing.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in negativity or wondered if motherhood will always feel this heavy, this episode is your reminder that you can change your mind, fix your gaze on Jesus, and choose a new story.
