Rooted Moms: Christian Motherhood, Faith & Purpose, with Ashlee Kasten

Hosted By: Candace Nassar

Feeling unsure if what you’re doing as a mom really matters?

Motherhood is beautiful — but nobody told you it could feel this hard. If you’re a mom in the thick of it, juggling kids, faith, and everything in between, this episode is your permission slip to breathe.

In this powerful conversation, Candace sits down with Ashlee Kasten – homeschooling mom of five-  to unpack the true purpose of motherhood—and why it matters more than you think. Together, they explore how to see motherhood not just as a daily routine, but as a God-given mission field with eternal impact.

In this episode, you’ll walk away with:

  • A fresh perspective on why motherhood is one of the most powerful callings of your generation
  • Simple, realistic ways to build prayer into your already-packed daily routine
  • How to ditch the “perfect mom” myth and show up authentically for your kids
  • Real encouragement for the mom who feels like she’s falling behind spiritually

Ashlee also introduces Flourish: A 30-Day Reset for Moms — a practical, faith-based resource built for the modern mom who wants to stop surviving and start thriving at home.
