Ep 234 // How to Stop Bringing Work Stress Home With You

You made it through the workday, but the stress didn't stay at work.

You walk through the front door, but your mind is still replaying the difficult conversation, frustrating situation, unfinished task, or everything waiting for you tomorrow. Then your family needs you—and you realize you're physically home, but emotionally, you're still at work.

If you've ever struggled with bringing work stress home, this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Faith Led Working Moms Podcast, we're talking about how to create a healthier transition from work to home without pretending that your stressful day didn't affect you. As working Christian moms, we can't always control what happens during our workday, but we can be intentional about how we transition into the rest of our evening.

We'll talk about:

• How to recognize the emotional impact a difficult workday can have on you
• Why physically leaving work doesn't always mean you've mentally left work
• Simple ways to create a transition from work mode to home mode
• How to stop allowing work stress to spill over into your interactions with your family
• Why constantly thinking about a problem doesn't necessarily mean you're being responsible
• What it looks like to bring your work-related stress and worries to God
• How Psalm 55:22 reminds us to cast our cares on the Lord
• How to be present with your family even when you've had a hard day

Most importantly, you'll be reminded that you don't have to walk through your front door completely calm, happy, and recovered from the day in order to be a present mom. You can acknowledge that the day was hard, create a transition, and entrust what you can't control to God.

Your work will still be there tomorrow. Tonight, you have the opportunity to be home.

Scripture mentioned: Psalm 55:22
