  • Starting From Scratch: An Interview with Dedra on Building a Planning Habit as a Beginner

    In this episode, I talk with Dedra, who's new to both planning and to keeping Shabbat and eating biblically clean, a season of learning several new rhythms at once. She shares her honest tips for building a planning habit from the ground up, how she's learning to track recipes and plan meals, and how she's starting to carve out time for personal Bible study in the middle of it all.

    Dedra and her husband are planning for two, in a city setting rather than a farm or homestead, which brings its own shape to what daily rhythms look like. If you're just getting started with planning, or feel like you're learning several new things at once and aren't sure where to begin, this episode will meet you right where you are.

  • A Different Season, the Same Faithfulness: An Interview with Tina on Homestead Life and Planning for Two

    In this episode, I talk with Tina, who's part of an extended family homestead and is now in a season of feeding just herself and her husband, a very different rhythm than planning for a large, growing family. We talk about chickens, building out a personal pantry, planning around feast days, and her habit of tracking prayer requests, something that's become its own meaningful part of her planning.

    We also get into how the Torah Family Living planner flexes to fit her, since what a grandmother managing a homestead for two needs looks nothing like what a mom of eight needs, and that's exactly the point.

    If your season looks different than it used to, smaller, quieter, or just changed, I think you'll find a lot to relate to here. Listen in and see how Tina makes planning work for the life she's actually living.

  • Real Life, Real Planning: An Interview with Leslie on Managing a Full, Busy Home

    In this episode, I sit down with my sister Leslie, a homeschool mom to eight children, including twins, who also helps run a family business, works the farm, and takes part in a homeschool co-op. If that sounds like a full plate, it is, and we talk honestly about the planner and systems that actually help her hold it all together.

    This isn't a highlight reel. It's a real conversation about what biblical planning looks like in a home with a lot of moving parts, the kind of household where things genuinely can't fall through the cracks because there's no room for them to.

    If you're managing a big family, a business, homeschooling, or just a season that feels like more than you can hold, I think you'll relate to a lot of what Leslie shares. Listen in and see what might apply to your own week.

  • Feast of Tabernacles: Finding Joy in Everyday Planning

    Sukkot is called the season of our joy, and in this episode, we're asking what that actually looks like when applied to planning, the everyday tasks of running a home, managing a schedule, and caring for a family. Joy isn't just for the big moments. It can be found, on purpose, in the ordinary rhythm of biblical planning too.

    I share four practical tips for being intentional about finding joy in the everyday tasks that make up your week, the kind of small, steady shifts that turn planning from something you push through into something you actually look forward to. If you've been feeling like your weekly planning routine is just one more thing to survive, this episode will help you see it differently.

  • Yom Kippur: Three Honest Questions to Ask Yourself About Planning

    Yom Kippur is a day set apart for honest self-examination, and in this episode, we're bringing that same posture to how we plan our homes and our time. Real biblical planning isn't just about better systems, it's about being willing to look honestly at ourselves and ask where we might actually be the problem.

    I walk through three questions to sit with:

    Is that really all I can do?

    Am I burning myself out?
    What is my purpose?

    These aren't questions meant to bring guilt, they're meant to bring clarity, the kind that helps you stop pushing through a season that isn't working and start planning from a place of honesty instead. If you've been feeling behind or stretched thin and can't quite name why, this episode will help you ask the right questions first.

  • Feast of Trumpets: A Wake-Up Call for Your Planning Season

    The Feast of Trumpets opens with the sound of the shofar, a call to wake up, pay attention, and prepare for what's ahead. In this episode, we're looking at what that call means for how we plan our homes and our time, and why this feast makes such a natural checkpoint for a biblical planning reset.

    We'll talk about noticing where your current system has quietly gone on autopilot, using this season as a natural moment to reset your monthly layout instead of waiting until January, and building the habit of watchfulness, looking ahead at the weeks to come instead of only reacting day to day. If you've been feeling behind and unsure where to start again, this episode will help you sound your own wake-up call.

  • Monthly vs. Weekly Layouts: How to Get the Most Out of Your Planner

    Your planner has more than one layer, and this episode is all about using them the way they're meant to work together. We're talking practical, hands-on ways to use both the monthly and weekly layouts in your planner, and how each one serves a different purpose in your biblical planning routine.

    The monthly layout is where you see the big picture, the appointments, birthdays, and events that shape your season. The weekly layout is where the real day-to-day planning happens, meals, tasks, and the small things that actually move your home forward. Learning to use both well, instead of leaning on just one, is one of the simplest ways to stop feeling behind and start feeling like your planner is actually working for you.

    If you've been staring at a blank monthly or weekly spread wondering where to start, this episode will walk you through it step by step.

  • When Your Planning System Stops Working: Lessons from Nehemiah on Fixing Bottlenecks

    Planning isn't something you set up once and forget. In this episode, we're looking at Nehemiah chapter 5, where Nehemiah had to pause the work to address a problem that had arisen among the people, and what that teaches us about biblical planning for busy moms.

    As planners, we need that same willingness to stop and evaluate our systems, whether life has moved into a new season or something unexpected has thrown things off. A weekly planning routine isn't meant to be rigid. It's meant to be reviewed, especially when you start noticing the same bottleneck slowing you down again and again.

    We'll talk about how to spot those bottlenecks early, and why solving them, instead of just pushing through them, is what actually keeps your home and your planning moving. If you've ever felt behind because a system that used to work suddenly stopped fitting your life, this episode will help.

  • Feeling Pulled in Every Direction? What Nehemiah Teaches Us About the Mental Load of Motherhood

    If you've ever felt behind, stretched thin, and pulled toward five things at once, this episode is for you. We're looking at Nehemiah chapter 4, where Nehemiah faced pressure and opposition from multiple fronts while trying to rebuild the wall, and what his response can teach us about biblical planning for busy moms carrying the mental load of motherhood.

    I share two practical action steps you can start using today:

    1. Learn to overlap tasks. Start something like the laundry before moving into a task that needs your full attention, so your time works for you instead of sitting idle.
    2. Learn to assign tasks that can be done while you're doing something else, freeing up your focus for the things that truly need it.
    3. If you're ready to build a simple, biblical weekly planning routine and stop feeling like you're always behind, grab the free Biblical Planning Starter Kit here: torahfamilyliving.com/ready-to-plan-with-purpose
