Summary
It’s easy to see someone doing well in an area (or multiple areas) and assume they’re killing it in every other arena as well.
The truth is, while we strive for the balance of doing all things excellently to the glory of God, we often found our capacities particularly limited during certain seasons and generally limited all the time (bc no one is good at everything).
Whether we are unusually busy (where I find myself right now), postpartum, solo-parenting, or something else altogether, we find ourselves needing to focus on the main things while being forced to let other areas go for a time.
When we are careful to prioritize the needful things and prepare our hearts with reasonable expectations, we can still thrive through seasons of limited capacity while recognizing everyone will find themselves in a similar boat at some point—and the Lord can still use us all!

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Image for Mama podcast. I'm your host, Abby Halberstadt, Happy |
| 0:09.5 | Wife, Mama to 10, Bible Believing Christian. And on today's episode, we're going to chat about |
| 0:14.6 | something that I get asked about in DMs a lot and is very relevant to my current circumstances |
| 0:19.1 | in life. I think it'll be helpful to you too. But before we dive in, I want to highlight our brand new podcast sponsor, Adele Natural Cosmetics. It is a family-owned, cruelty-free, toxin-free, handmade, small-batch, artisan company that produces cosmetics and skincare here in the USA. Arlene, the owner, found herself in a health crisis and realized that |
| 0:39.1 | many of the labels that said, quote unquote, natural really weren't using natural products. |
| 0:43.1 | So you'll find in Adele that you can read the ingredients easily. There's no toxins or anything gross in |
| 0:49.1 | there to cause problems for your skin. I use and love the products personally, and I'll share more about them with you |
| 0:54.8 | soon. I also want to talk about CHM. Christian Healthcare Ministries is an alternative to traditional |
| 1:00.5 | insurance, which allows you to choose programs that work for your family to organize and |
| 1:07.4 | customize those programs so that different members are on different levels, whether it's |
| 1:11.9 | bronze, silver, or gold. You can also pray for and be prayed for by Bible believing Christians |
| 1:18.0 | who share the same values that you do that also use CHM. And I love that they are giving you |
| 1:23.9 | options to find doctors that are, quote, out of network because there are no networks. |
| 1:28.8 | They work with you to find the health care provider that works best for your family. |
| 1:33.2 | And last but not least, I want to talk about Voteberg Music Academy. |
| 1:36.2 | I got the pleasure of spending some time with the owners, Elisha and Katie Vogberg, just this last week. |
| 1:41.0 | And I was struck again by their commitment to their family, their commitment |
| 1:44.4 | to excellence and their commitment to bringing quality products and teaching to the people |
| 1:50.4 | that use their programs. But where Music Academy is a way for your students to learn, be motivated |
| 1:56.0 | to have community that they have built into their programs, and they can do it by sharing lessons |
| 2:01.3 | between siblings. You can use the code M is for Mama 20 to get 20% off each month that you're |
| 2:06.6 | enrolled, which brings your shared price for family down to as little as $35 a month, which |
