172~HELP! I'm a Mom Struggling Between Calling & Carpool with Morgan Eseke
In this episode of The Mom Show, I sit down with Morgan Eseke, a mom who has learned firsthand what it means to navigate the tension between calling and carpool. Morgan shares her powerful story of how she was torn between serving outside her home and being present for her kids, all while balancing the pressures of life, work, and motherhood.
Morgan opens up about the pivotal moment that changed everything—when she experienced a stroke-like episode that forced her to slow down and reflect on her identity. It was through this challenging season that she learned to embrace the boundaries God had set for her life, leading her to a more intentional and peaceful way of living.
Morgan also shares the creation of her Family Creed, a guiding tool that has helped her and her family align with their values, trade hustle for peace, and live out their purpose with faithfulness. She encourages moms who feel the weight of doing it all to remember that faithfulness—not fullness—is the goal.
Whether you’re juggling work, ministry, or the demands of motherhood, Morgan's insights will encourage you to focus on what truly matters, let go of guilt, and embrace the boundaries God has placed in your life.
