Modern Motherhood for the Country Soul

In this episode, we’re talking all things kids, snacks, and keeping it somewhat healthy without turning into the snack police. From cleaning out the junk to setting up simple, smart snack stations, I’m sharing tips (and a few grape-fueled memories) to help you make better choices easier—for you and your little snack raiders. Plus, find out what my grandma kept on the table that turned into the ultimate grab-n-go snack. No guilt, no overwhelm—just real talk, good food, and a whole lot of grace.

and as promised, here is my new email address.... I would love to hear from you.

We are exploring a refreshingly simple act of mindfulness that even the busiest mama can try—no yoga mat, incense, or long periods of silence required. If traditional meditation makes your skin crawl or your brain go into overdrive, this one’s for you.

We’re talking about the power of looking - intentionally. That’s it. One small act of focus that can help you slow your racing thoughts, calm your nervous system, and become more present in your daily life. You’ll hear how this practice helped me find a sense of calm in the chaos, and why it might be the first mindfulness habit that actually sticks.

This episode is for every woman who’s ever felt like she’s moving too fast, juggling too much, and missing the little things right in front of her. You’ll learn how this simple tool can support your emotional well-being, improve focus, and help you show up more grounded—for yourself, and for your little people.

In this episode of The Modern Motherhood for the Country Soul, we’re talking about emotional regulation—for both you and your kids. From chaotic workdays to after-school meltdowns, it’s easy to lose your cool. But learning to name and model your emotions can shift everything.

We’ll explore simple ways to regulate your own responses, support your child through big feelings, and create a calmer, more connected home—one moment at a time. Because parenting isn’t about being perfect; it’s about being present.
