Welcome to MomZest — a cozy, faith-centered space for Christian moms navigating midlife with grace.
I'm Demetria: after homeschooling for over a decade, I'm sharing a fresh chapter focused on Christian motherhood, midlife boundaries, and finding yourself again in this new season.
Here you'll find real talk about:
• Protecting your peace & setting boundaries in midlife
• Faith and motherhood — when the season shifts
• Perimenopause, friendship, and the stuff nobody warns you about
• Simple living with God at the center
New videos every week — pull up a chair and stay awhile. 💛

I Stopped Doing These Things and My Faith Finally Felt Free

Are you a woman of God learning to release what no longer serves you? In this video, I'm sharing the things I've personally stopped doing in this season of life — and how letting them go has brought me more peace, more clarity, and more freedom in my faith than I ever expected. If you've ever struggled with needing approval to show up, or found yourself chasing friendships that weren't meant for y...

193. Who Are You When Homeschooling Ends?

After 14 years of homeschooling, I’m stepping into a brand new season — and I’m finally ready to talk about what that transition has really looked like. A few weeks ago, I watched my daughter walk across the stage and graduate high school, and as I celebrated her next chapter, I realized God was also inviting me into mine. In this episode, I’m sharing the honest emotions of ending a season that sh...

Is Your Faith Weak, or Is It Just Perimenopause?

Perimenopause anxiety is real — and it doesn't mean your faith is weak.

Plus three practical things that are helping me right now. 📖 Scriptures mentioned: Philippians 4:6, 1 Peter 5:7, Psalm 34:18, 2 Cori...
