About the show

Welcome to the Love&BLoved™ Podcast , a faith-centered podcast for Christian moms who want more peace in their lives, relationships, and homes. I’m Lena Cebula—Certified Christian Leadership Coach, author, speaker, wife, and mother of three. I help Christian moms manage stress and respond with grace so they can strengthen their faith and well-being, create a more peaceful home environment for their children, and leave a legacy of peace rooted in Christ. Through honest conversations, practical teaching, and inspiring guest interviews, we explore faith, motherhood, stress, identity, resilience, and personal growth —with biblical truth and practical tools you can apply to everyday life. My prayer is that every episode reminds you that your past does not have to define your future, change is possible, and there is hope in Christ. Be Love&BLoved™ This podcast is for educational and inspirational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional counselling, mental health care, medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

When Motherhood Feels Lonely | Grace for the Mom Who Doesn’t Have It All Together | Part 2

Send us Fan Mail Motherhood can feel lonely, especially when you feel like everyone else has it together. In Part 2 of my conversation with Stacey A. Shannon , founder of Families with Grace, Christian mom blogger, devotional author, and freelance journalist, we talk about finding God’s grace in the real, messy, everyday moments of motherhood. Stacey describes herself as a relatable Christian mom who doesn’t have it all together, messes up regularly, and whose laundry is never completely caught up. Her heart is to encourage and equip Christian moms to build homes filled with grace, love, and faith—without hiding the difficult parts of motherhood or trying to live up to the image of the “perfect Christian mom.” I pray this conversation encourages you to release the pressure of perfection, find God in the ordinary moments of motherhood, and remember that His grace is present even in the messy seasons.
