Have you ever found yourself working until midnight (or later!), just trying to catch up… because it’s the only quiet time you get all day?

I’ve been there. In the early days of motherhood, and again when I was launching this podcast while caregiving full-time, I fell into that cycle of late-night productivity and early-morning exhaustion—until I realized what it was costing me.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a very personal story about the rhythms that saved me, the ones I forgot, and how I brought them back. We’ll talk about what’s really going on when you can’t get anything done unless you stay up too late—and I’ll walk you through four simple habits to help you protect your energy without guilt.

If you’re a Christian homeschool mom who feels like you're constantly “on,” this episode is for you.

Let’s build rhythms and habits that honor your limits—and restore your peace.
