Rhythm to the Mess

Listen Later

This episode explores how we all handle the inevitable mess in our lives — not just the clutter on the counter, but the emotional, relational, and spiritual mess that shows up along the way. Whether you’re someone who “cleans as you go” or someone who waits until the end, peace isn’t about perfection. It’s about finding your rhythm, embracing your process, and learning to make peace with the mess.

What You'll Hear:
  • There are two kinds of people in life — those who clean as they go and those who clean up after. Both have a mess somewhere in their process.
  • Peace isn’t found in being spotless; it’s found in knowing your rhythm and owning it.
  • The clean-as-you-go type risks missing joy by focusing too much on order; the pile-it-up type risks burnout by delaying restoration.
  • Mess means movement — it’s proof you’re creating, growing, and becoming.
  • Choose your rhythm of restoration and give yourself permission to breathe in the middle of the work.
    • Favorite Line

    “The kitchen, like your life, was never meant to be spotless. It was meant to be lived in. Mess means movement.”

    Reflection Question

    Where in your life do you need to stop fighting the mess and start finding your rhythm within it?

    Final Thought

    You don’t need a perfect process to live a peaceful life. The goal isn’t to have it all together — it’s to find peace while you’re still in progress.

    And, as always, I love you much!
