Rooted + Rambling

Today I’m chatting through some of the assumptions people make about me. Am I really going back to teaching? Did we make a decision about tubal ligation or a vasectomy? And how strict am I about screen time? Let’s just say… not everything you think is true! This one’s lighthearted, honest, short and sweet.

DISCLAIMER: Sorry for all the sniffles! I was, in fact, unwell!!

As my life has shifted in motherhood, so have my friendships. I open up about letting go of relationships that weren’t life-giving, finding friends who share my faith and values, and showing up in a way that honors God. This is a reminder that your worth isn’t found in who you’re surrounded by—it’s rooted in who God says you are.

In this episode, I’m sharing how I potty trained my toddler in just three days—yes, really! No gimmicks, no magic, just a simple plan that worked for our family. I’m walking you through what we did each day, the things we have to help, how we handled accidents, how we are handling #2, etc. Whether you’re dreading the process or just looking for encouragement, this episode is your sign that it is possible to get through it fast and without losing your mind. Let’s talk all things potty training—real talk, mom to mom.

In honor of my son’s 3rd birthday, I’m sharing the full story of how he came into the world — all 30 hours of labor, the unexpected c-section, and the overwhelming mix of fear, love, and joy that changed me forever. It wasn’t the birth I imagined, but it was the day I became a mom and I’d live it a million times over. Happy birthday Beckham!!!

This week, I’m recapping our wild weekend, including my son’s birthday and all the fun (and exhaustion) that came with it. Then I’m diving into your questions! We’re chatting about whether baby #3 is in the future, what our bedtime routine looks like right now, how I handled breastfeeding at Disney, my go-to travel stroller, and when two under two got easier. It’s honest, a little chaotic, and definitely mom-life real. Let’s get into it!

In this episode of Rooted and Rambling, I’m sharing the story that changed my life— my testimony! From feeling unseen and weighed down by shame, to discovering what it truly means to be loved, chosen, and set free in Christ. This is how Jesus met me in the mess and gave me purpose. If you've ever wondered if God still moves... this episode is for you!

Motherhood is beautiful... but let’s be honest, it can also feel like a never-ending whirlwind. In this episode, I’m sharing 9 things that help me stay sane as a mom. These are the little habits, mindsets, and routines that keep me grounded, give me peace, and remind me that I matter too. Whether you’re in the thick of toddlerhood or just trying to get through the day without losing your cool, I hope this encourages you and gives you a few new ideas to try. You’re doing better than you think you are!! 💛

If you’re a woman craving real talk, a little encouragement, and a reminder that you're not the only one trying to hold it all together... this space is for you. I'm showing up as I am, hoping to make you feel seen, laugh a little, and leave each episode feeling just a bit lighter.
