Overcoming Motherhood Burnout: Cierra Tipton on Faith, Adoption, and Healing

Kingdom Life Coaching: Hear God's Voice and Discover Your Purpose Through Christian Coaching and Spirit-Led Conversations

Ep 91 // Overcoming Motherhood Burnout: Sierra Tipton on Faith, Adoption, and Healing

Cierra Tipton shares her journey from rebellious preacher's kid to a devoted mother deeply rooted in her faith. She opens up about the transformative impact of her adoption story on her motherhood role and the powerful reconnection with her biological mother. We dive into her struggles with postpartum depression, feelings of overwhelm, and the pivotal moments that led to her spiritual awakening and emotional healing.

Cierra is also working on a devotional to help mothers deepen their intimacy with God and considering future adoptions inspired by her own experience. Join us as we explore how she has found peace and joy in motherhood through a partnership with the Holy Spirit, and learn practical tips for managing motherhood challenges.

Here are three key takeaways from our conversation:

🔹 Biblical Motherhood: Cierra’s engagement with the "Natural Christian Mamas" Facebook group helped her explore and redefine what biblical motherhood truly means. This shift in perspective brought a newfound sense of peace and purpose to her parenting journey.

🔹 Holistic Approaches to Mental Health: After experiencing severe postpartum depression, to the point of suicidal ideations, Cierra realized the importance of combining spiritual practices with holistic self-care. She took proactive steps to prioritize her health, resulting in a joyful experience during her third pregnancy.

🔹 Divine Inspiration and Overcoming Challenges: Both Cierra and Megan discuss the importance of discerning divine inspiration in life. They explore how actions that benefit others and align with altruistic motives often honor God, guiding us through life’s challenges with a higher sense of purpose.

Quotable Quotes:

"What does God say about motherhood? What does he want for mothers? What does he want for us when it comes to raising our children? Because I knew. I knew that if I could just figure out God's perspective, if I could just figure out what that biblical lens was, then I could figure out, okay, what is it that I need to change?" // Cierra

"When you partner with the Holy Spirit in your motherhood journey, and when you root yourself in Christ, you can experience motherhood on a completely different level than the rest of the world." // Cierra
