Grief can feel heavy, messy, and—if you haven’t walked through it yourself—confusing to navigate when someone you love is hurting. Over the past few years, our family has walked through a few seasons of deep loss, and one thing I’ve learned is how much it matters to have people who show up in tangible, thoughtful ways.

In today’s Memos in the Margins episode, I’m sharing what it’s looked like for our family to be on both sides of grief—receiving care during heartbreaking seasons and learning how to be the village for others when they face their own. You’ll hear practical, specific ways people have loved us well, what’s been most helpful to keep in mind, and even some small, intentional gestures that can mean the world to someone in pain.

Whether you’re in a season of loss yourself or simply want to be equipped to support a friend or family member when that day comes, I pray this conversation helps you feel ready to step in with love, compassion, and confidence. Because we’re not called to do life alone—and carrying each other’s burdens is one of the most beautiful parts of community.

NOTE: This episode includes discussion of grief, loss, and a brief mention of miscarriage. 

I pray this episode encourages you!

Hugs!

-KyAnn

What if launching something new in your business didn’t have to feel like stepping off a cliff—what if it could feel rooted, purposeful, and led by the Lord?

Today, I’m finally pulling back the curtain on a project I’ve been hinting at for a while—my very first retreat! I’m hosting it alongside my dear friend Jordan Jones, and in this episode we’re sharing all the details: who it’s for, why we’re so excited, and the behind-the-scenes journey that’s already been such a gift.

We share the process of being over halfway sold out before even officially launching, how seeking God’s guidance has shaped every step, and why inviting Him in first changes everything. Plus, I’ve got some encouragement for the business owner who’s about to step into something brand new—it might be exactly what you need to hear today.

If you’ve been curious about the Rooted Retreat happening in January 2026—or if you just need a fresh reminder to launch with faith—I think you’ll find this conversation inspiring, practical, and maybe even the nudge you’ve been waiting for.

I pray this episode encourages you!

Hugs!

What if joy isn’t something you wait around to feel—but something you can actually practice, even in the messiest seasons?

Today I’m sitting down with my friend Rachel Awtrey—mama to two boys, military wife, blogger, and podcast host—for one of my favorite conversations we’ve had on the show. We’re talking about what it looks like to love your life… even when you don’t like everything about it.

Rachel gets honest about writing her first book, then walking through a season that tested every single truth she wrote down. We talk about finding joy when nothing is going the way you planned, holding grief and joy at the same time, and how to spot those tiny sparks of joy when they start to come back.

If you’re in a season that feels heavy, I think this conversation will meet you right where you are.

I pray this episode encourages you!

Hugs!

Hi, friend! This episode is a real and unfiltered look at the season I’m walking through. From grieving a sudden loss to battling imposter syndrome when my rhythms fell apart, I’m sharing what it’s looked like behind the scenes.

We’ll talk about the guilt of not having it all together, the pressure to be perfect, and the reminder that it’s because of our struggles—not in spite of them—that we can encourage and walk alongside others.

If you’ve ever felt like an imposter when life feels messy, I pray this episode reminds you that your struggles don’t disqualify you, they equip you.

Ever feel like your days are so full, you're making decisions on the fly and running on fumes?

In this episode, I’m giving you a peek behind the curtain of my very full summer. VBS prep, hosting my sister’s bridal showerr, appointments, and trying to squeeze in work wherever I could. With so much going on, I didn’t have space to make thoughtful decisions every day.

What helped me stay grounded wasn’t doing more, it was pre-deciding. I’m sharing how this simple practice has helped me reduce stress, protect my peace, and stay anchored in busy seasons. If your summer’s been anything like mine, this one’s for you. 

I pray this episode encourages you!

Hugs!

Have you ever gone through a season where spending time with God felt harder than usual?

If so, friend, you are not alone.

In today’s episode, I’m opening up about a very real and current struggle in my own faith walk. I’m talking about what it looks like when I fall out of my usual rhythm with the Lord, how that affects my heart, and what I’m doing to gently, gracefully reconnect with Him.

I also share a beautiful word of wisdom from my dear friend Jordan that really spoke to me, and I think it’ll speak to you, too.

I pray this episode encourages you!

Hugs!

In this episode, I’m doing something I’ve never done before: pulling back the curtain and sharing some of my personal voice memos lately and taking you behind the scenes into a raw, unfiltered conversation with my mastermind group of friends. Fellow business owners and friends who are constantly pushing each other to grow. We’re diving deep into the mindset shifts, rhythms, and real talk that are helping us pursue big goals without burning out.

If you've ever craved community, accountability, or simply a peek behind the curtain of how other entrepreneurs are growing from the inside out, you’re going to love this one. Plus, I’m sharing an exclusive sneak peek into my very first retreat (something I’ve never offered before!), make sure to listen to the end to get all the details! Let's dive in.

I pray this episode encourages you!

Have you ever noticed how some of the best conversations happen in the in-between moments—like a late-night drive home with a car full of tired (but still wide awake) kids? In this Memos in the Margins episode, Mat and I hit record on just that kind of moment to share a candid look into our 4th of July traditions, family rhythms, and the unexpected lessons we’ve learned about true hospitality.

We’re chatting about the holiday plans we’ve built as a young family, the traditions I married into, and the legacy of Mat’s grandma—the woman who redefined what it looks like to welcome others in with warmth, generosity, and intentionality. Whether you’re navigating a full house this summer or simply craving inspiration for your own family rhythms, we hope this conversation is life-giving in some way.

I pray this episode encourages you!

Hugs!
