In this episode of Confidence and Coffee, Ashley sits down with her friend Whitney English (author, creative, entrepreneur, and all-around wise woman) to get brutally honest about how our homes reflect our hearts.

They talk about:
 💛 Why perfectionism often comes from old wounds
 💛 How our need to control our homes can create unintentional wounds in our kids
 💛 The difference between apologizing to feel better vs. actually repenting and changing
 💛 Setting healthy boundaries in your home (even with guests & kids’ friends!)
 💛 Why messy homes (and messy hearts) don’t disqualify us from God’s love
 💛 Finding real beauty and stewardship in minimalism vs. maximalism
 💛 How Jesus still meets us in our empty fridges, overdrafted bank accounts, and imperfect lives

Whitney shares behind-the-scenes stories from her book Organize First, Decorate Second... plus why she believes gratitude is the birthplace of joy.

If you’re a perfectionist, a mama trying to keep it all together, or just someone who’s craving more peace and less chaos, this conversation is for you.

✨ Listen & let us know your thoughts:

• What area of your life are you learning to release perfectionism?
• If you were a dinosaur, which one would you be? 😂 (Whitney picked brontosaurus, Ashley picked triceratops... yes, it’s a thing.)
