The holidays don’t have to be picture-perfect to be meaningful. In this episode, I’m inviting you to trade the pressure of “doing it all” for the peace of simply being there. Together, we’ll talk about what it really means to practice hospitality that reflects God’s heart—choosing presence over perfection, connection over performance, and joy over exhaustion. Because at the end of the day, the best memories aren’t made in flawless spaces—they’re made wherever love and grace have room to gather.

I sat down with Hannah Keeley, America’s #1 Mom Coach, to talk about how to thrive in motherhood—even when life feels overwhelming. Hannah is a mom of seven and the founder of Mom Mastery University, and she knows the struggle is real.

We dive into “Mom Brain” (and why it’s a superpower, not a flaw), the three biggest traps moms face, and how small routines can lead to big breakthroughs.

If you’ve ever felt stressed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode, this episode will encourage you to stress less and love more.

It’s time for my annual Christmas Collection! This year, instead of sharing gift ideas, Kariss and I reminisced over our favorite Christmas memories (and our not-so-favorite gifts). And let me tell you, a good time was had. I love that we get together to intentionally connect in this way. I also love that we get to invite you into our conversation.

I love that we get together to spend time together in this way. There’s no better time to reflect on what made the holidays special and to discover ways to bring that joy with you now.

Is it time for you to set boundaries in your friendships? 

Friends are such a special kind of relationship because they are in essence the family you choose. It’s worth honoring that choice with clear communication about what your limits are so that you can exist in a dynamic that is beneficial for both you and your friends.

Setting boundaries with your friends is an act of self-acceptance and self-love. It is how you show your friends that you understand and value yourself.

For many moms, the idea of homeschooling sounds nice, but it can feel too far out of reach. Sometimes, you just need to hear from someone who’s a little further along to know that you can do it, too.

I sat down with fellow homeschool mom Amber O’Neal Johnston on the latest episode of The Sister Circle Podcast. Amber has pushed past a lack of representation in the available homeschool curriculum and intentionally cultivated a village for her family. 

No matter where your children learn, you can achieve the goal of fostering a sense of belonging and a love of learning in your home.

Have you ever looked up and all of a sudden you don’t know where the time has gone? Well that is how I am feeling about this episode because here I am celebrating 10 years of podcasting! 

That is correct – 10 years I’ve been at this podcasting business.

I’m excited about listening back to Episode One with you and enjoying the higher voice, the initial thoughts, and the core of the messaging from where this all began. I’m also looking forward to continuing. 

Here’s to celebrating your 10. Here’s to remembering where we started, and to why we keep doing what we do.

If you’ve been waiting to press start, now is the time. This is me asking you, what are you waiting on? If you just get started, maybe 10 years from now, you’ll be glad you did.

When was the last time you went on a date with your spouse? One thing I’ve learned over time is that consistently connecting with those who matter most is key to living life well.

In this episode of The Sister Circle Podcast, I share some ways I’m intentional about enjoying life with my husband and close friends.

I know that life can become mundane and, in some seasons, overwhelming and exhausting. But don’t take for granted the gift of relationships in your life. Take a moment to let go of your cares and concerns and live in the moment with the people you love.

Why are adult friendships so complicated? If you’ve ever wondered why making and maintaining friends is difficult the older you get, trust me, you’re not alone. 

In my own life, my friendships have shifted in different seasons. What I know for sure is that it was worth the fight. On the other side of hard conversations is support, love, and true connection.

Proverbs 27:17 puts it this way, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”

You were made for connection. When you take the time to cultivate your circle of friends, you will surely reap the benefits. But you have to be intentional and prayerful in the process.

Are you a good steward of your relationships? Do you make time for your spouse? Do you encourage your children? 

If you struggle to answer any of these questions, know that you will have a tough time pouring into others if you don’t first pour into yourself.

In this episode, Michael Todd and I chat about his latest book, “A Cup of Love: Relationship Goals for Kids,” and the importance of pouring into our loved ones.

When your cup runs over with God’s love, you are able to love your people well.
