When Mothering Is Hard and No One Sees with Shalene Roberts
So much of motherhood happens where no one else can see.
It’s the middle-of-the-night wake-ups, the endless loads of laundry, the whispered prayers, the carpool conversations, and the thousand small sacrifices that rarely receive recognition. In the moment, we may wonder whether any of it is making a difference.
But God sees it all—and none of it is wasted.
This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I’m talking with Shalene Roberts, author of When Mothering Is Hard and No One Sees. Shalene shares how a vulnerable blog post written while navigating three children under five—and what may have been postpartum depression—became a message that resonated with hundreds of thousands of mothers.
Together, we talk about:
- Finding our worth in God rather than visible accomplishments
- Trusting that today’s small seeds can produce an eternal harvest
- Recognizing the sacred within the gritty work of motherhood
- Making room for prayer, Scripture, and rest in busy seasons
- Seeing and nurturing each child’s unique God-given gifts
- Holding our children with open hands as they grow
Whether you are caring for little ones, preparing to launch a child into adulthood, or pouring into the next generation through mentoring, I pray this conversation reminds you that God sees you. The love you offer in ordinary, unseen moments is shaping lives and leaving a legacy that may reach farther than you will ever know.
You are seen. You are loved. And the work God has called you to matters for eternity.
With love,
Rachael
