  • 131 | A Simple Exercise to Get Clear on What You Want as a Mom

    What do you want to feel when you look back on 2026?

    In this episode, we’re going deeper than simply setting goals or making a list of what you want to accomplish. If you’re a stay-at-home mom who has been feeling scattered, stuck, or unsure of what you want for yourself, this exercise can help you gain clarity and create a vision for the rest of your year.

    We’re using a simple but powerful reflection exercise called the 7 Layer Dip to uncover the deeper reasons behind how you want to feel by December 31, 2026. You’ll start with one question—How do I want to feel at the end of the year?—and then ask yourself “why?” seven times.

    As you peel back each layer, you may uncover desires, motivations, and priorities you didn’t realize were there. This is an opportunity to slow down, get honest with yourself, and invite God into the process of creating a vision for your life.

    Grab your journal, set aside a few quiet minutes, and get ready to dig a little deeper. You might be surprised by what God reveals.

  • 130 | When God Asks You to Simplify: Letting Go to Make Room for Growth

    Have you ever felt God asking you to let something go, even something you genuinely enjoy?

    In this episode, I'm sharing a personal decision I've been praying through for the past few months: simplifying my life so I can better focus on what God has called me to in this season. It's not about giving up things because they're bad. Sometimes God asks us to release good things so we can make room for what's best.

    We'll talk about the Biblical principle of pruning, why fruit trees are cut back to produce more growth and fruit, and how that same principle applies to our own lives. I'll also share some exciting updates about the future of the podcast and the ways we'll continue to stay connected.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • Why pruning is necessary for healthy growth
    • Why letting go of good things can make room for God's best
    • Questions to help you identify areas of your life that need pruning
    • Updates on the podcast schedule and where to connect moving forward
    • If you've been feeling stretched, overwhelmed, or sensing God is leading you into a new season, I hope this conversation encourages you to trust Him with what He's asking you to release.

      Remember: Pruning isn't punishment - it's preparation for new growth.

    • 129 | How to Quiet a Busy Mind Before You Pray

      Do you ever sit down to pray or journal only to realize your mind is racing with a thousand different thoughts?

      As stay-at-home moms, our days are filled with responsibilities, decisions, and constant mental noise. It's no wonder it can feel difficult to focus on God when our minds are so full.

      In today's episode, I'm sharing one simple practice that has transformed my quiet time and helped me create space to hear from God. Before we seek direction, make plans, or work on the vision God has placed on our hearts, we first need to clear our minds and hearts.

      You'll learn:

      • Why it's so hard to focus during prayer and quiet time.
      • A simple 5–10 minute journaling exercise to clear mental clutter.
      • Why putting pen to paper is so powerful.
      • How to surrender your thoughts and worries to God.
      • Practical ways to listen for His guidance and write down what He places on your heart.
      • This simple daily habit can help you feel more peaceful, more present, and more prepared to hear God's voice.

        If this episode encouraged you, I'd love for you to leave a review and share it with another stay-at-home mom who could use a little more peace in her day.

      • 128 | How to Review Your Month with God in 7 Simple Steps

        What if one hour with God at the end of each month could completely change how you step into the next one?

        In this replay episode, I'm sharing the simple 7-step monthly review I use to pause, reflect, and invite God into every area of my life. Instead of rushing into a new month, you'll learn how to celebrate your wins, identify what's holding you back, recognize patterns, and make intentional changes with the help of the Holy Spirit.

        In this episode, you'll learn:

        • Why taking a "30,000-foot view" of your life matters.
        • The 7 simple steps to review your month with God.
        • Reflection questions to help you grow spiritually and personally.
        • How to rely on the Holy Spirit instead of your own strength.
        • Why intentional reflection leads to greater clarity and purpose.
        • Time will pass whether we're intentional or not. My prayer is that this episode encourages you to slow down, meet with God, and step into your next month with greater peace, clarity, and confidence in Him.

        • 127 | How to Create a Vision for Your Health That Helps You Feel Strong, Confident, and Energized

          Your health journey starts with a vision. When you know where you want to go, you can begin making intentional choices that move you closer to becoming the woman God created you to be.

          In this episode, we’re talking about why having a vision for your health matters, how your health impacts the way you show up for yourself and your family, and what God says about caring for your body. I’ll share my own health journey and the practical steps that helped me create a healthier lifestyle in this season of life.

          You’ll learn how to assess where you are, create a realistic health vision, and take small consistent steps toward feeling strong, confident, and energized.

        • 126 | Feeling Invisible as a Stay-at-Home Mom? God Sees You

          Have you ever felt invisible?

          In this replay episode, I share how becoming a stay-at-home mom slowly chipped away at my confidence and left me feeling lost, unseen, and alone. Maybe you've felt that way too.

          The good news? You are not invisible. You are seen by God.

          Together we'll look at what Scripture says about El Roi—the God who sees me—and how changing your focus from "No one sees me" to "God sees me" can transform the way you walk through motherhood.

          If you've been feeling discouraged or overlooked, this episode is for you.

          Have you ever received a compliment or kind word that completely changed your day?

          • 124 | Want Confidence and Clarity? Take THIS First Step.

            Have you ever felt like you needed to know exactly what to do before taking the first step?

            You're not alone. So many stay-at-home moms are waiting for clarity before they move forward—but what if clarity doesn't come first?

            In this episode, I'm sharing why I've learned that action creates clarity and builds confidence. I'll tell the story of watching my son graduate and realizing how easy it is to stare into the "black hole" of the unknown, wondering what's next. But I've also learned that God rarely reveals the entire path before asking us to take the first step.

            We'll talk about:

            • Why fear keeps us stuck
            • How action builds confidence through experience
            • What Proverbs 28:26 teaches about where our confidence should come from
            • Why motherhood itself is proof that you can do hard things before you feel ready
            • How taking one small step can quiet overwhelm and help you see the next step more clearly
            • If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what God is calling you to do next, this episode is for you.

              In this replay episode, I share the two biggest lessons I learned from completing a 75-day discipline challenge—lessons that have transformed the way I lead myself, parent my children, and pursue the life God has called me to live.

              Together we'll explore:

              • Why boundaries and discipline actually bring comfort, not restriction.
              • What Psalm 23 teaches us about God's loving guidance and correction.
              • Why discipline is training, not punishment.
              • How a clear vision gives you the motivation to stay consistent.
              • Practical encouragement for creating healthy structure in your home and family.
              • If you've been feeling stuck, unmotivated, or like you're simply surviving each day, this episode will remind you that discipline without vision feels exhausting—but discipline fueled by purpose changes everything.

              • 122 | What Changed When I Stopped Letting Myself Down

                This episode feels especially fitting for the season I'm in as I begin the 75 Hard Challenge again.

                In this replay, I share my transformative experience completing 75 Hard—75 days of intentional discipline, mental toughness, and learning to prioritize my health.

                After a whirlwind summer filled with major life changes, including selling our home, moving, and recovering from illness, I decided to take on a challenge I once swore I'd never do. What started as a way to shake things up and finally commit to long-standing health goals became a deeply rewarding journey of personal growth.

                I open up about the highs, the struggles, and the unexpected joy I found in the process—not just the outcome. From reading four books and reaching major fitness milestones to navigating the internal battle between my old self and the woman I was becoming, this episode is full of honest reflection, practical encouragement, and reminders that lasting change starts with showing up one day at a time.

                Whether you've heard of 75 Hard or you're simply looking for motivation to create meaningful change, I hope this episode inspires you to do hard things, show up for yourself, and embrace the process.
