Today I'm chatting with you solo about some ways to combat discontentment + this concept I like to call "Happy home Hour" which is a way I work towards making maintenance decluttering and simply taking care of my home into my week.  In the first half of the episode we dive into contentment a bit, and I talk to you about some ways I've found myself discontent and some things that can help us combat that discontent feeling. Maintenance decluttering is one of them! We then dive into chatting about a system I use to do that!  I hope you enjoy listening - here are links I mention:

Minimal-ish is a podcast hosted by Desirae Endres about striving to live with less of the things that don't matter, more of what does, and pursuing intention in every area of our everyday lives and motherhood. We'll talk about a realistic version of minimalism, family life, motherhood, work, caring for ourselves, budgeting and intentional finances, and everything in between.

226: Getting Intentional at Home: Series Intro

Today I'm honored to have pastor and author, Max Lucado, as my guest. We talk about his newest children's book, Just In Case You Ever Feel Alone and how we can approach the topic of loneliness with our children (and any other big feeling), help them cope, and stay connected as a family in a time where it is common to feel distracted and disconnected. I love this conversation, the encouragement it brings to parents, and the simple, practical tools that Max brings us.

225: Helping our Kids Cope with Loneliness + Staying Connected as a Family with Max Lucado

Today's episode is a topic that I love. Though we don't often talk about it on the podcast, I believe fitness and wellness, and how we take care of ourselves in general, is a big part of intentional living. However, motherhood often does make it a little more difficult to navigate making it a part of our lives. Today I have Amy Kiefer of Expecting and Empowered on the podcast to encourage us with resources and motivation to a healthier life - from nourishing ourselves well, to simplifying fitness, to making it a part of our routine in the midst of overwhelming days as a mom. We also talk about the benefits of strength training and nourishing ourselves well. I hope you can tell through listening in that I absolutely loved this conversation and was very inspired by Amy- I know you will be, too!
