231. When Motherhood Brings You to the End of Yourself with Whitney Newby

What if the hardest moments of motherhood weren’t something to escape—but a holy invitation?

In this episode, we sit down with Whitney Newby, the heart behind Brighter Day Press, who opens up about the messy, beautiful collision of motherhood and faith. A former nurse turned homeschooling mama of four, Whitney shares how an early, overwhelming moment with her newborn led her to a deep realization: her own love and strength would never be enough—but God’s grace would be.

With wisdom forged in the trenches, Whitney offers practical rhythms for weary mamas—like redefining interruptions as divine assignments and waking up just a little earlier to meet with the One who holds it all together. She challenges the idea that self-care means checking out, pointing instead to Jesus, who withdrew to pray so He could pour Himself out again.

Whether you're juggling toddlers or teens, homeschool or public school, this conversation is a gentle nudge to lift your eyes, steady your heart, and find God right in the thick of it.
