Recording from Harrisburg, PA, I’m sharing 10 lovely lessons summer taught me—from realizing I’m not the main character (Jesus is), to practicing presence, laughing through a cringe-y voicemail, falling for pickleball and the beach, and simple rhythms like a car catch-all bin, the SOAP Bible study method, and an “Everything Notebook.” Consider this your grace-filled reset as we step into fall: less guilt, more peace, and practical little swaps (yes, even toothpaste!) that make everyday life lovelier.

Would you rather: a tiny daily kitchen burn or a face that stings after every wash? Tell me in the Spotify Q&A or drop it in a 5-star Apple review—then email me at [email protected] with your favorite takeaway. You are lovely, and so is your home. 💛

This week's episode was one I felt that I needed to make, even though it doesn't match our normal theme of talking about rhythms and routines in our lovely homes. 

Last week was a very emotional week for not only me, but for our world as well. So many dark things have happened in life, many dark things aren't even being brought to life, but I think after hearing one bad thing after another on the news a lot of people cracked. 

This episode is not a political one. So please know that if you are not wanting to hear political opinions, you are safe with this episode. For the majority of the episode I discuss the life of Paul. I have been reading Colossians, and after the events that were brought to light and shared / heard around the world, I was able to read Colossians in a way I have never read before. I pray that this episode encourages you and motivates you to dive deep into the word of God. I pray that HIS voice will be far louder than mine. 

I think a lot of us have been experiencing a wake up call. A wake up call that I'm calling a Spiritual nudge. I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode, as well as get to know you more as a sister in Christ, so please feel free to reach out via email: 

[email protected] 

The piano at the end of the music was produced and composed by me. I don't know what exactly I'm supposed to say, but please don't steal it. 

Please forgive the annoying puppy dog sounds you may be hearing through your earphones. Ember wanted to say hello... a lot. 

You are lovely, and so is your home and you are a good person. 

Jesus Loves You. 

HEY LOVELY!

Struggle to get out of bed? Same, lovely. In this grace-filled pep talk, Evelyn shares five quirky, actually-helpful ways to wake up earlier—without hating your mornings. We’ll talk rotating alarm sounds, sunrise-style light, why “touch grass” really helps, and what to reach for first (hint: not your phone). Plus, a simple rhythm to guide your AM: something lovely, active, holy, and helpful.

How moving your alarm out of the bedroom forces momentum

Why rotating sounds (Hatch or phone) beats alarm fatigue

Light exposure 101: sunrise simulators & smart-bulb hacks

“Touch grass” grounding + watching God’s daily painting (the sunrise)

A phone-free first touch to start strong (Bible, slippers, robe, water)

Something lovely • something active • something holy • something helpful

Pancakes (any kind, forever) or one go-to breakfast taco forever? Tell me your pick in a review, DM, or email!

HEY LOVELY!

Welcome back to another episode of the Lovely Home Podcast! In today’s episode, we’re diving into a topic that’s close to my heart—how to create a movement rhythm in your home that is graceful, lovely, and honoring to God. If you’ve ever struggled with fitness or movement, you’re not alone! I’m not a fitness expert, but I’m on this journey right alongside you. Together, we’ll explore how to move our bodies in a way that honors our temples, fuels us, and keeps us connected to God’s design.

We’ll touch on the importance of movement as a grace-filled practice, how our thoughts and mindsets affect our ability to build habits, and dive deep into how we can align our movement plans with our monthly cycles. Whether you're in the middle of your cycle or dealing with irregularity, I’ve got tips and tools to help you build a sustainable and guilt-free rhythm.

Grab your notebook (and maybe your Bible!) as we discuss:

The power of grace in building movement habits

How to sync your fitness routine with your menstrual cycle

The biblical perspective on honoring our bodies and what God says about movement

How to overcome the guilt and comparison culture surrounding fitness

This episode is packed with grace-filled encouragement, and I hope it leaves you feeling empowered, not pressured. Let’s create rhythms, not routines, and start treating our bodies the way God intended!
