The Type C Mom: Finding Peace Between Perfection and Chaos :: Ashleigh Surratt [Ep 549]

As a young mom, I felt the tension of wanting to have it all together: the boys in matching outfits, the house spotless, and dinner on the table. But no matter how hard I tried, it always felt just out of reach.

Today, Ashleigh Surratt joins me to talk about what it means to be a Type C mom — a blend of Type A and Type B — and how this mix shapes the way we experience motherhood. She is a mom and faith-filled encourager who speaks honestly about motherhood, identity, and finding God’s grace in the messiest seasons of life. Her perspective helps moms release perfectionism and embrace the freedom found in authenticity. We talk about:

  • How to stop comparing yourself and embrace what truly matters to you
  • How “ideal mom” expectations can become an idol
  • Why authenticity and vulnerability invite connection rather than shame
  • Create simple “catch-all” systems to manage chaos in your home
  • When you feel drained, pause and invite God into the overwhelm
