1KHO 487: It’s Better to Leave Things Undone Than to Come Undone | Courtney Smallbone, Technicolor Woman


Listen Later

What if doing less was actually the key to doing what matters most? In this powerful episode, Ginny Yurich sits down with Technicolor Woman author Courtney Smallbone for a raw, hope-filled conversation about legacy, identity, and the cost of burnout. Courtney shares how embracing rest, resisting cultural pressure, and choosing a slower path has helped her build a family life rooted in purpose. Together they explore what it means to finish well, how generational impact begins long before our kids are born, and why sometimes it’s better to leave things undone than to come undone.

From midwives to homesteading, touring the world to quieting the noise, Courtney offers a compelling vision of motherhood, womanhood, and calling. With wisdom drawn from Scripture, Hebrew word origins, and real-life experience, she encourages listeners to reclaim their identity and rhythm—away from hustle and into wholeness. This conversation is a needed reminder: your ordinary life, lived with intention, can change everything.
