Big life updates over here—new province, new baby on the way, and a whole lot of stretching in between. In this quick personal episode, I’m sharing why I’m taking a sabbatical, what you can expect from the podcast, and how I’m choosing peace over pressure in this season.

If you’ve felt God nudging you to slow down too... this one’s for you.

Blessings,

You’ve got a planner. A checklist. Maybe even a cute printable or two. You want structure—actually, you thrive with it—but nothing seems to stick. Two days in, life shifts (again), and it all falls apart. So you blame yourself. “If I were more disciplined… more consistent… more organized…”

But what if you’re not the problem?

In this episode, we’re talking about the missing piece that most routines ignore—and why the answer isn’t more rigid discipline, but rhythms that flex with your real life. If your days feel like they’re breaking under pressure, you don’t need to try harder… you need a structure that breathes.

This might be the reframe you’ve been waiting for.

You’re standing in a room full of career talk—projects, promotions, office chaos—and someone asks, “So what do you do?” You say it simply: “I stay home with our kids.” And then… that pause. Not rude, just blank. Because they honestly don’t get it.

Not the fullness of your days.

But you know the truth: this isn’t a step back. It’s a sacred assignment.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing why staying home isn’t about giving up purpose—but stepping fully into it. If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation feeling small or unseen, this one's for you.

You want to make the holidays special, but when you’re living on one income, every grocery run, gift list, and family gathering seems to come with a price tag that tugs a little tighter than last year.

In this episode, I’m sharing the practical shifts that have helped our family thrive on one income—especially through the holiday season. From secondhand finds and meal planning to budgeting, DIY projects, and tithing, these are the small, intentional habits that have kept us grounded and grateful.

Because peace in your home isn’t about how much you spend—it’s about how much you trust that God will provide, and how wisely you steward what He’s already given you.

You’ve told yourself, “This time, I’ll stay on top of it.”

Sound familiar?

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the honest truth: it’s not that you’re lazy, disorganized, or doing it wrong. It’s that you’ve been trying to live on systems that weren’t made for a woman with seasons.

We’ll talk about why your routines haven’t stuck, how God actually designed you to live with rhythm, not rigidity—and what shifts when your homemaking finally aligns with your body, your energy, and your real life.

If you’re tired of survival mode, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. It’s not too late. You haven’t failed. You just haven’t been shown a way that fits. Yet.

Blessings,

You’ve had those moments—when the light hits just right as you stir supper on the stove, or when your toddler climbs into your lap with a book and for a second, everything feels still and sacred. And yet, they feel rare. Almost like they belong to someone else’s life.

But what if they didn’t?

What if those glimpses of peace weren’t the exception, but the rhythm of your days?

In today’s episode, I’m inviting you into a picture of what life can look like when you stop running on empty and start living in sync with your God-given design. I’m sharing six things I never thought I’d be able to do—things that felt like distant dreams in the thick of survival mode—but became possible when I stopped living like a machine and started building rhythms that honor who I am, how I’m wired, and the season I’m in.

Not a highlight reel. Not a Pinterest-perfect fairytale. Just a real window into the kind of peace and presence that is absolutely possible for you, too.

Blessings,

The kitchen was a mess. Apples soft with bruises, fruit flies dancing through the air, boxes stacked high where furniture used to be. Nothing looked like routine. Nothing felt like rhythm. And yet—I couldn’t stop smiling.

Because in the middle of what looked like chaos, God was doing something new.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and letting you into the whirlwind our family has been walking through: a cross-province move, a pregnancy, a pause on plans I thought were firm. It’s not tidy. It’s not filtered. It’s just real.

If you’ve ever felt like life was finally starting to make sense—only to have it flip upside down overnight—you’ll feel seen here. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll feel a little more steady too.

Because when the boxes are stacked, the meals are frozen, and the routines are undone… God still shows up. And His timeline, though wildly different than ours, is always right on time.

You’ve read the lists. You’ve tried the systems. You’ve whispered Why can’t I figure this out? while folding that same basket of laundry for the third time this week.

Friend, maybe the real reason your home doesn’t feel peaceful yet isn’t because you’re failing—it’s because of what you’ve come to believe about yourself.

In this honest, identity-shifting episode, we’re looking at the quiet lies that so often swirl in the background of stay-at-home motherhood—and replacing them with the truth that brings peace, steadiness, and confidence in your God-given role.

This isn’t about hustle or doing more. It’s about finally believing that you can live differently. Because you can. And it starts with what you believe.

Let’s talk about it, together.

Maybe you’ve even tried to convince yourself that chaos is just “part of the job.” But if you’re being honest, you're tired of managing your home like it’s a battle to be won. What if the problem isn't that you're failing—but that you're forcing a rhythm that was never meant for you?

In today’s episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the real reason homemaking still feels heavy—and the gentle, God-designed rhythm that can finally make it feel light. If you've ever felt like you're just “not the structured type,” this conversation is your permission slip to stop hustling and start aligning with who God made you to be.

This isn't about pushing harder. It's about flowing differently. And it might just be the most important episode you’ve listened to yet.

Blessings,

You walk in the door and see it again—the laundry piles, the dishes, the toy explosion—and your heart sinks. You want to get ahead, but it feels like you’re just surviving. You’ve tried the systems, checklists, and chore charts. But nothing sticks. And deep down, you wonder, “Is it always going to feel this hard?”

In this episode, I’m sharing why the mess isn’t just about your house—and why your first step isn’t cleaning at all. What if the chaos isn’t a failure, but a signal? What if what’s missing isn’t motivation, but a foundation that honours you—your season, your design, your calling?

If you’ve felt stuck in survival mode, craving peace but unsure where to begin…this is your beginning.

Blessings,
